Safety and Toxicology Assessment Services for Ocular Nucleic Acid-Based Therapy

The development of gene therapy for eye diseases is a highly developed treatment approach. As a leading provider of ophthalmic solutions, Ace Therapeutics is committed to developing advanced gene therapy products for global customers, and provides a set of rigorous safety and toxicology analysis methods to ensure product reliability. Our scientists are happy to be your trusted partners in the development of your projects.

Safety and Toxicology Analysis of Gene Therapy Products for Ocular Disease 1

Service Overview

Although gene therapy for eye diseases has achieved satisfactory results, in some cases, gene therapy products themselves may also produce certain toxicity in vivo, which is caused by the expressed transgenes and vectors. Meanwhile, off-target effects of gene therapy products may be another relevant toxicity factor. As a cutting-edge biotechnology research and service provider in the field of ophthalmology, Ace Therapeutics provides the following safety and toxicology analysis services for the development of ocular gene therapy products for global customers, including but not limited to.

Safety and Toxicology Analysis of Gene Therapy Products for Ocular Disease 2

  • Carrier Toxicity Studies

Delivery systems for foreign genes targeting the eye are usually based on non-viral and viral vectors (eg, lentiviral vectors, adeno-associated viral vectors). Although some virus carriers have been attenuated through mutations or deletions, the modified virus itself may infect the normal system of the human body. Ace Therapeutics is committed to establishing the most refined service platform for vector toxicity research, including virus replication ability, immunogenicity, persistence, incubation period, tropism and route of administration, etc.

  • Off-target Toxicity Studies

Off-target toxicity mainly comes from the ability of the viral vector to infect normal cells such as hematopoietic cells, neurons and reproductive system after mutation. In some cases, expressed transgenes can also be toxic in vivo. Therefore, specific assays need to be developed to analyze the off-target toxicity of transgenes and their vectors. With Ace Therapeutics' professional services and various technology platforms, we provide the best off-target toxicity analysis system for gene therapy products by utilizing appropriate animal models and designing comprehensive research practices.

  • Preclinical Observations and Pathology Studies

At Ace Therapeutics' laboratory, our scientists are able to conduct many metrics to evaluate the safety and toxicity of gene therapy products for ocular diseases. Preclinical observations include, but are not limited to, cytopathic effect (CPE), animal signs, body weight, morbidity, and mortality. In addition, pathology studies refer to hematology, coagulation and urinalysis and ocular histopathological examination.
