Correct data is fundamental in a GxP quality system. This podcast will discuss what needs to be put in place to achieve data integrity and minimize the risk for an organization. We will discuss how to achieve data integrity and give real examples from FDA warning letters about the most frequent violations. To prevent violations, processes and systems should be designed to follow the ALCOA principles which will be explained in detail. We will review how a modern lab instrument can provide all the technical features which are needed to automate processes, ensuring that data integrity compliance issues are not created. As an example, we will present the functionalities of Cubis II, the 2nd generation premium laboratory balance from Sartorius. We will also discuss software applications for QC- or production-relevant applications like Tablet & Vial checker (Uniformity of dosage, USP chapter <905>), Loss on Drying (USP Chapter <731>), Standard preparation (USP Chapter <129>), Pharma Filling (Transfer of liquid products) or MYCAP CCX (Transfer of media and inoculum). The software applications safely guide operators through the workflow, automatically calculate the results and have conformity checks included.
Artiva Biotherapeutics will present data on AlloNK, an allogeneic, non-genetically modified NK cell therapy given with rituximab, in refractory rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren disease and systemic sclerosis at ACR Convergence 2026, ahead of a planned phase 3 trial in rheumatoid arthritis.
Novartis has secured an exclusive worldwide license to ABO2203, Abogen's investigational mRNA-encoded CD19xCD3 T-cell engager designed to produce the bispecific inside the body to reset B cells in autoimmune disease. The agreement also includes options on other programs built on Abogen's RNA platform.
Former FDA oncology reviewer Paz Vellanki, MD, PhD, of Precision for Medicine, discusses how CDER's ARC program supports novel end points such as ctDNA for rare diseases and why sponsors should engage FDA early.
Following an FDA meeting, Wave Life Sciences plans a single 2-year registrational trial of WVE-006, its GalNAc-conjugated RNA editing oligonucleotide for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, with a 1-year interim analysis that could support accelerated approval based on biomarkers.
