Exploring Safer Gene Therapy: Solvias at ASGCT Conference

Solvias to Present at ASGCT on Safer Gene Therapy Innovations
This discussion aims to enhance early risk detection, ensure regulatory compliance, and promote safer, more effective therapies in cell line development.
On May 6, 2025, Solvias announced that Dr. Daniel Galbraith, its Chief Scientific Officer, will present at the American Society of Cell and Gene Therapy (ASGCT) 28th Annual Meeting scheduled for May 13-17, 2025. This significant event gathers thousands of experts, including scientists, clinicians, industry leaders, and patient advocates, to discuss and showcase groundbreaking research and advancements in cell and gene therapy.
The session titled "Targeted Locus Amplification (TLA): Meeting Regulatory Demands for Safer Lentiviral Vectors" emphasizes the critical role of early genomic analysis in ensuring the safety of gene therapies utilizing lentiviral vectors (LVV). With regulatory agencies intensifying their scrutiny over risks like insertional mutagenesis, Dr. Galbraith will highlight how TLA enhances Investigational New Drug (IND) applications through its superior ability to provide detailed mapping of integration sites and vector characterization.
Dr. Galbraith noted, "As gene and cell therapies evolve towards more extensive clinical applications, the need to ensure vector safety becomes increasingly crucial. Regulatory bodies are posing more complex questions, and we must be equipped with informed responses. TLA enables us to identify integration risks early on, facilitating data-driven decisions that not only fulfill regulatory requirements but also prioritize the safety and effectiveness of therapies. I eagerly anticipate engaging with peers at ASGCT to discuss how we can hasten the development of such therapies while placing patient safety at the forefront of our efforts."
