Leveraging global laboratory scale to deliver critical patient test results on time

Physicians attending to critically ill cancer patients awaited test results from Labcorp's Los Angeles Center of Excellence for Advanced Anatomic Pathology and Histology. These results would determine patients’ eligibility for enrollment in clinical trials that could positively impact the progression of their disease. Unfortunately, the Labcorp laboratory team encountered an unexpected issue with the performance of certain lots of testing reagents.

Overcoming key challenges in global cell and gene therapy trials with Labcorp

Cell and gene therapies (CGT) represent the future of precision medicine, offering the potential to improve patient outcomes across a range of diseases. However, bringing these complex therapies from bench to bedside presents unique challenges at every stage of development. As the CGT landscape continues to evolve rapidly, developers need an experienced partner who can provide integrated solutions to overcome key hurdles at every stage from early research through commercialization. In a recent presentation for the Korea Biomedicine Industry Association (KoBIA), Maryland Franklin, PhD, vice president and enterprise head of CGT at Labcorp, shared how Labcorp’s comprehensive CGT capabilities support all aspects of global CGT development, including preclinical pharmacology, companion diagnostics (CDx) development and validation.
