Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Stability of a pharmaceutical drug products is the ability of a drug
formulation in a specific container-closure system to remain within its
physical, chemical, microbiological, therapeutic and toxicological
specifications throughout its shelf life
• Biopharmaceutical products in storage change as they age, but they
are considered to be stable as long as their characteristics remain
within the manufacturer's specifications (Robert, 2003).
• The number of days that the product remains stable at the
recommended storage conditions is referred to as the shelf life
(Robert, 2003).
3
4. INTRODUCTION CONT’D
• A measure of how a pharmaceutical product
maintains its quality attributes over time
• Stability testing is used to:
Provide valid evidence as to how the quality of drugs changes
with time.
Establish shelf life of pharmaceutical drug product or to
establish a re-test period for the active pharmaceutical
ingredient
For registration purposes
To determine the recommended storage conditions of drug
product.
To determine the right container and packaging materials.

8. Real-Time stability testing
• In real-time stability testing, a product is stored at recommended
storage conditions and monitored until it fails the specification
(Robert, 2003).
• Real-time stability testing is normally performed for longer
duration of the test period in order to allow significant product
degradation under recommended storage conditions (Thorat et
al., 2014).
• The period of the test depends upon the stability of the product
which should be long enough to indicate clearly that no
measurable degradation occurs and must permit one to
distinguish degradation from inter-assay variation(conditions
(Thorat et al., 2014).
8
9. Real-Time stability testing cont’d
• During the testing, data is collected at an appropriate frequency.
• The reliability of data interpretation can be increased by
including a single batch of reference material for which stability
characteristics have already been established (Thorat et al.,
2014)

11. Retained sample stability testing (Thorat et al.,2014)
• This method is normally use for marketed product that require
stability study.
• In this study, stability samples, for retained storage for at least
one batch a year are selected.
• If the number of batches marketed exceeds 50, stability samples
from two batches are recommended to be taken.
• At the time of first introduction of the product in the market, the
stability samples of every batch may be taken, which may be
decreased to only 2% to5% of marketed batches at a later stage.
• In this study, the stability samples are tested at predetermined
intervals i.e. if a product has shelf life of 5 years, it is
conventional to test samples at 3, 6, 9, 12,18, 24, 36, 48, and
60 months
11
12. ACCELERATED STABILITYTESTING
All medicinal products decompose with time
Stability study to predict the shelf life of the product, by
accelerating the rate of decomposition, preferably by increasing
the temperature of reaction conditions.
Studies designed to increase the rate of chemical degradation or
physical change of a drug substance or drug product by using
exaggerated storage conditions as part of the formal stability
studies (ICH, 2003).
In accelerated stability tests, a product is stored at elevated
stress conditions (such as temperature, humidity, and pH)
(Robert, 2003)
12
13. ACCELERATED STABILITYTESTING CONT’D
(Thorat et al., 2003)
• In addition to temperature, stress conditions applied during
accelerated stability testing are moisture, light, agitation,
gravity, pH and package
• In accelerated stability testing the samples are subjected to
stress, refrigerated after stressing, and then assayed
simultaneously.
• comparison of the unstressed product with stressed material is
made within the same assay and the stressed sample recovery is
expressed
13
14. ICH HARMONISED TRIPARTITE GUIDELINE (ICH,
2003)
• According to International Council for Harmonization(ICH),
• The long term study for drug product must be continued for a
sufficient period of time beyond 12 months to cover the shelf
life of the product.
• Intermediate storage condition data are required when a
significant change occurs prior to completion of study under
the accelerated storage condition.
• The accelerated storage condition must be >15º C above the
long term study storage conditions.

16. ICH HARMONISED TRIPARTITE GUIDELINE
Selection of Batches
• Data from stability studies should be provided on at least three
primary batches of the drug product.
• The primary batches should be of the same formulation and
packaged in the same container closure system as proposed for
marketing.
16
17. Testing Frequency (ICH, 2003)
For Long term testing, during 1st year sampling should be done
every 3 months, during 2nd year is 6months and after 2years is
once a year.
Accelerated testing should be done at least six months and it
suggests sampling points of 0, 3, 6 months.

18. STEPS INVOLVED IN CALCULATING OF
SHELF LIFE(Habib et al., 2015)
Based on the principle of chemical kinetics demonstrated by
Garret and Carper method
Free and Blythe method
Shelf Life Determination Based on Arrhenius Plot (Garret
and Carper method )
• The mathematical prediction of shelf life is based on the
application of the Arrhenius equation, which indicates the
effect of temperature on the rate constant, k, of a
chemical reaction of thermodynamic temperature, 1/T, is a
straight line
18
19. ARRHENIUS EQUATION
• It explains the effect of temperature on rate of a reaction.
According to Arrhenius, for every 10º rise in temperature, the
speed of reaction increases about 2-3 times
K=Ae-Ea/RT
• Log K=Log A - Ea/2.303*RT
• Where, K= rate constant
• R= gas constant =1.987 cal/mole
• T = absolute temperature
• A = frequency factor
• Ea = energy of activation
• T10% = (2.303/K)*(log100/90)
• T90% = (2.303/K)*(log100/10
19
20. Garret and Carper method
• 1. Keep several samples of the drug product at atleast three
temperatures, such as 40ºC, 50ºC and 60ºC.
• 2. Determine the drug content at all three storage points by
taking a number of samples and take the mean drug content. We
do this for a few weeks.
• 3. At each temperature we plot a graph between time and log
percent drug remaining. If the decomposition is first order
this gives a straight line. If it is zero order, percent drug
remaining versus time will give a straight line.
• 4. Next we take the log K or log of reaction constant on Y axis
and 1/T x 10-3 on X axis and draw a best fit line. This line is
the Arrhenius Plot, extrapolate this line to get k at 25ºC and
from this we calculate the shelf-life.
20
22. PLOT 2
Arrhenius plot for predicting the rate
constant at ambient temperature(25ºC
22
23. Calculation
If the reaction is following zero-order
• Expiration date at 25 oC = Initial potency – minimum
potency / reaction rate at 25 °C tx =Yo - Yx/ Ko
• If the reaction is following first order
• Expiration date at 25 oC (tx) = Log initial potency – log
minimum potency/reaction rate at 25 tx =log Yo – log Yx /
K1
• Where Yo = initial potency
Yx = final potency
Ko = zero order constant
K1 = first order constant
23
24. FREEAND BLYTHE METHOD(based on t90)
• In this method the fraction life period is plotted against a
reciprocal temp. and the time in days required for drug to
decompose to some fraction of its original potency at room
temp.
• The log% of drug remaining is plotted against time and days
and the time for the loss line at several temp. to reach 90% of
the theoretical potency is noted by the doted line
• The log time to 90% is then plotted against 1/T and the time for
10% loss of potency at room temp. can be obtain from the
resulting straight line by extrapolation to 25 C
• Shelf life and expiration date are estimated in this way
• This approach clearly illustrate in below figure (plot a and b).
24
26. SHELF LIFE DETERMINATION BASED ON REAL
TIME TESTING(Thorat et al., 2003)
1. Keep three batches for stability study at least for 1 year at one
fixed temperature.
2. Test them at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months for drug content. At
each testing time test a number of samples, so that you have a
mean and a standard deviation value of the result.
3. Now plot the graph of % drug content on Y axis and time on
X axis along with
confidence intervals. Where the lower 95% confidence curve
intersects minimum potency,
there you fix the shelf life.
