The management of risk and investment in cell therapy process development: a case study for neurodegenerative disease

Cell-based therapies must achieve clinical efficacy and safety with reproducible and cost-effective manufacturing. This study addresses process development issues using the exemplar of a human pluripotent stem cell-based dopaminergic neuron cell therapy product. Early identification and correction of risks to product safety and the manufacturing process reduces the expensive and time-consuming bridging studies later in development. A New Product Introduction map was used to determine the developmental requirements specific to the product. Systematic Risk Analysis is exemplified here. Expected current valuebased prioritization guides decisions about the sequence of process studies and whether and if an early abandonment of further research is appropriate. The application of the three tools enabled prioritization of the development studie
