DIA/FDA Oligonucleotide-Based Therapeutics Conference

The growing importance of oligonucleotide therapies in the therapeutic armamentarium requires a progressive approach to establishing robust global supply chains and streamlined regulatory pathways for commercialization and lifecycle management. Digitalization and sustainability are two areas of significant focus from the perspectives of innovators and regulators alike. In addition, new classes of oligonucleotide therapeutics continue to emerge alongside novel process chemistry and analytical technologies; oligonucleotide “longmers” are one such example. This session will address new developments in the rapidly evolving field of oligonucleotide development and manufacturing, with particular emphasis on where these technologies dovetail with emerging regulatory frameworks. Speakers from industry will present two unique cases in which such technologies are beginning to see broader application, along with the associated regulatory considerations. A joint panel of industry members and regulators will discuss the implications and the path forward to support the needs of patients.
