In recent years, a number of oligonucleotide therapeutics have received market license authorizations in the US, Canada, Europe and other countries. There is also an increasing number of oligonucleotides entering clinical trials worldwide. This session will present recent experience with the review of CMC dossiers of early and late-stage oligonucleotide programs. Presentations from Alnylam and Ionis will be followed by a panel discussion that may include representatives from the FDA and BfArM.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Gain perspective on CMC strategies for single and double stranded oligonucleotides
  • Understand current CMC expectations for market license authorizations
  • Design CMC plans for early-stage programs for longer term success
