Sartorius Process Knowledge Ensemble for Cell-based Therapies
IND changes in phase III are 3 times more expensive to make than in phase I. Avoiding late-stage changes when scaling to clinically relevant cell yields requires building deep process knowledge early in development. However most early development is done with conventional methods (like flasks) that have limited transferability into clinical production. The mismatch in technologies between stages of development creates inefficiencies that end up costing significant time and money.
The Sartorius Process Knowledge Ensemble brings together cell culturing technologies that enable early process optimization with clinical transferability. By building foundational process knowledge, you can use the Ensemble to establish critical process parameters and critical quality attributes earlier, helping you improve your timelines to IND submission and clinical manufacturing.
