description A vast evolution of drug modalities has occurred over the last several decades. Novel modalities such as cell and gene therapies have proven to be efficacious for numerous clinical indications–primarily in rare disease and immune oncology. Because of this success, drug developers are heavily investing in these novel modalities. Given the complexity of these therapeutics, a variety of bioanalytical techniques are employed to fully characterize the pharmacokinetics of these therapies in clinical studies. Industry trends indicate that quantitative PCR (qPCR) and multiparameter flow cytometry are both valuable in determining the pharmacokinetics, i.e. cellular kinetics, of cell therapies. This manuscript will evaluate the pros and cons of both techniques and highlight regulatory guidance on assays for measuring cellular kinetics. Moreover, common considerations when developing these assays will be addressed.
