E-book – CAR+T Drug Development
The Critical Role of Flow Cytometry

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:

  • The importance of flow cytometry in Car+T clinical research and its uses
  • Key aspects in developing a CAR+ T trial
  • The added value of flow cytometryin multiple myeloma, Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) assessments and multiple Myeloma phenotype
  • Car+T-cell Therapy: patient treatment, targeted antigens and solutions for MRD assessments and multiple myeloma phenotype assessment.

Automatization of Immunohistochemistry Data Analysis for Protocol Validation

This presentation was given by Marie Gerus-Durand, Principal Scientist & Validation Engineer at Cerba Research Montpellier at the JMP Discovery Summit Europe.

Cerba Research is a global company providing high-quality, specialized analytical and diagnostic solutions for clinical trials. Cerba Research Montpellier develops customized immunohistochemistry protocols to detect the expression of selected targets on patients’ tissue sections.

To be used in clinical trials, these protocols must meet the regulatory agencies’ criteria to ensure that the protocol will allow consistent results on precious patients’ samples. With the diversity of parameters evaluated and the types of evaluation possible in implementing these custom protocols, automating data analysis became a need.

Thanks to various JMP® tools, we have developed an automated analysis that saves time and homogenizes protocol performance reports by including statistical and graphical data in a Dashboard. This process, submitted as JMP Add-in, has been incorporated into our user workflows, thus facilitating our procedures.

Webinar: Turning Precision Medicine into Action in Immuno-Oncology

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.

Speakers

  • Jérôme Sallette, PhD, CSO Cerba Research
  • Shu Jen Chen, PhD, CSO ACT Genomics
  • Sofie Vandevyver, PhD, Head of Business Operations & Marketing Cerba Research
  • George Wei, PhD, Vice President R&D ACT Genomics

Analyzing Multiple Biomarkers with IHC: putting a 6-plex kit to the challenge

On November 16, 2021 Cerba Research and Akoya Biosciences held a webinar on how to analyze multiple biomarkers using Immunohistochemistry (IHC). The session was a deep dive in the Tissue Microenvironment (TME) with multiplex IF (Opal™) technology, discovering how to visualize, analyze, and quantify multiple phenotypes in situ.

As part of a long-standing collaboration with Akoya Biosciences, we agreed to test our pre-validated 6-plex panel kits, including one suitable for carcinoma immune-contexture investigations (CD8, CD68, FoxP3, PD1, PD-L1, PanCK). We were also able to put into practice Akoya’s pre-set imaging protocol on the Vectra® Polaris™ and related data analysis algorithm with inForm® software.
