The ability of developing high-parameter assays allows for a deeper characterization of patients’ immune subsets with limited sample availability. Spectral flow cytometry is used to assess high-parameter immune profiling in global clinical trials. To date, there are no specific guidelines for Performance Qualification (PQ) of spectral flow cytometers. Here, we describe an in-house developed workflow for performing PQ of a Cytek® Aurora instrument in a clinical laboratory.

As flow cytometry is one of the go-to methods for fast and in-depth monitoring of immune cell populations at single cell level, clinical laboratories are observing an increase in assay complexity and number of samples to process. To scale up our operations in a qualitative and efficient manner, several aspects of the laboratory design were improved and are discussed below.

Of all types of cancer, lung cancer caused more deaths worldwide than any other type of cancer. It also causes more deaths than breast and colorectal cancers combined. Patients with the most common lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), have higher survival rates than patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), but the outcomes for both remain bleak. According to the National Cancer Institute, the five-year survival rate for NSCLC between 2004 and 2010 was 20.7% compared to only 6.3% for SCLC.2
NSCLC patients also have more promising and more precise, treatment options today compared to even 10 years ago. Advances in biomarker and precision medicine have led to the development of immunotherapies and targeted novel treatments that have the potential to improve patient outcomes. In the United States, the FDA has approved dozens of biomarker-driven therapies for NSCLC, including ALK, EGFR, and ROS1 inhibitors. Meanwhile, more than 1,200 treatments are in development.

Being one of the leading technologies for cellular analysis, flow cytometry generates simultaneous high-throughput enumeration and individual cell characterization data. With the breakthrough of cellular immune therapies, such as CAR+ T, flow cytometry became a critical platform, not only for clinical laboratories, but also for drug developers and manufacturers.
Flow cytometry plays a crucial role in the production process of CAR+ T cells, where it is used for assessing transduction efficiency, purity, and characterization of the CAR+ T product before infusion. After manufacturing, when CAR+ T cells are infused into the patients, flow cytometry is used again in clinical laboratories to assess CAR+ T expansion, efficiency, and persistence and to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD).
In this e-book, Ans De Beuckelaer, Regional Head Flow Cytometry EU and Rowan Claeys, Clinical Biologist at Cerba Research, dive deeper into key elements of flow cytometry:

In immuno-oncology (I/O), meeting budget and timeline expectations in the journey from translational research to commercialization is a challenge. You need expert, integrated clinical laboratory and diagnostic solutions delivered by top scientists who will help you assess needs and generate early insights that optimize your protocol.
What else should you look for in a clinical laboratory partner? Along with access to a sizable patient database, impeccable performance across the globe, and I/O experience, three main testing capabilities are mandatory for success in this field: immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and next generation sequencing.

The challenges in immuno-oncology (I/O) drug development require deep scientific insights, generation and analysis of complex biological data, new state-of-the art technologies and both logistical & operational support across continents. The goal of immuno-oncology drug developers is to turn precision medicine into action, bringing life-changing therapies to patients.
In this webinar originally held on October 4 our experts discuss the use of Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), and Flow Cytometry (FCM) within immuno-oncology, and how they can offer the comprehensive insights required for I/O clinical trials.
