Gene Therapy Immunogenicity and IVD Regulatory Services

Unmatched expertise in NAb/TAb assays and in managing global regulatory engagements

Precision for Medicine provides a suite of services for adeno-associated virus (AAV) immunogenicity assays from preclinical development through gene therapeutic commercialization.

Whether your development path includes a companion diagnostic (CDx) or not, Precision experts—who are shaping and guiding this field—help determine the optimal development route for your assays, ensuring the most efficient and compliant path to market.

Proven expertise in AAV immunogenicity assays, from preclinical development through commercialization

Precision for Medicine has extensive experience with AAV immunogenicity assays for rare diseases like hemophilia, Fabry, Gaucher, muscular dystrophies, and non-rare diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and heart failure.

The assays employed encompass anti-capsid NAb and TAb, anti-transgene anti-drug antibody (ADA), and ELISpot assays targeting both anti-capsid and anti-transgene responses.

Notably, Precision for Medicine developed and serves as the lab for the single-site laboratory-developed test (LDT) anti-AAV5 NAb assay for HEMGENIX®.

Delivering NAb, TAb, and ELISpot assays for diverse capsid types at every stage

Precision for Medicine's scientific team has developed and validated NAb, TAb and ELISpot assays in both humans and non-human primates (NHPs) for several capsid types across multiple stages:

  • Preclinical/GLP
  • Clinical trial GxP
  • Clinical Trial CLIA
  • CDx
Risk assessment and regulatory requirements for CTAs

Our experienced regulatory consulting group supports AAV gene therapy assays from LDTs to IVDs and more

Precision's regulatory team provides comprehensive support at each critical step of the development timeline, from advising on requirements and design through analytical and clinical protocol development and execution. In parallel, Precision for Medicine will draft the required regulatory documentation (SRD, IDE, Annex XIV, ITA) to support clinical trials and, if needed, final commercialization (PMA, CE Mark, UKCA Mark) while communicating with the regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and streamlined review of submissions.

Purposefully integrated to support all aspects of gene therapy approvals

In addition to immunogenicity assay development and integrated regulatory consulting, Precision supports gene therapy development with a broad set of services to streamline development and avoid delays to market.
