CDMO Solutions for CAR-T

CDMO

CDMO Services for CAR-T Cells-IIT Grade/Non-clinical Phase

CAR-T cells, i.e. the Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell, work in the principle of utilizing the patient's own T lymphocytes, which are re-engineered in the lab, loaded with receptors recognizing the tumor-antigen, proliferated ex vivo, and subsequently re-infused to the patient, to recognize and attack the tumor cells. Hillgene is specialized in provision of integrated CDMO solutions for cellular therapy products, has established a completely closed process development platform for cellular therapy products, and therefore, can provide high-quality CDMO services for cells to clients with various demands.

CDMO Services for Plasmids-Clinical Grade

Manufacturing of plasmids, a critical step of manufacturing CAR-T cellular therapy products, involves a series of complicated processes of manufacturing, purification, and analysis. As essential tools for genetic engineering, bacterial plasmids can not only be used as final products for gene and cellular therapy, but also as intermediate vectors for the manufacturing of gene and cell therapy products, and are inevitably used in manufacturing steps for most gene and cellular therapy products. With the emergence of the cellular therapy industry, the market demands for plasmids are also increasing with each passing year. Hillgene is specialized in the provision of integrated CDMO solutions for cellular therapy products, has established a GMP manufacturing platform for nucleic acid products, and therefore, can provide high-quality CDMO services for plasmids to clients with various demands.

Advantages

Advantages of our plasmid system:

• An independently developed four-plasmid system with kanamycin-resistance gene

• A system with the capability of sustained optimization

• Plasmid sequences are traceable, compliant with requirements, and efficient

• Extensive experience in successful IND submissions

• CAR-T cell samples for clinical use are currently manufacturing and in use

• 2-5 folds higher titers after using our plasmid system from the comparison in several projects


Advantages of our plasmid manufacturing:

• Free of antibiotics throughout the manufacturing process

• Plasmid production and bank creation in separate workshops

• Complete isolation between non-sterile and sterile areas

• Dispensing final products using an isolator

• Completed CTD dossiers for packaging plasmid (for lentiviral vector), reducing the submission preparation time by 3-4 months, with INDs of a few products granted preliminary approval and currently in phase I of clinical study
