LabConnect, Inc. and Cryoport, Inc. have announced a partnership to provide comprehensive logistics support for an upcoming Phase I/II clinical trial sponsored by Triumvira Immunologics Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing a novel platform for engineering T cells to attack cancers. The study intends to investigate the safety and efficacy of autologous TAC-T Cells (TAC01-HER2) targeting HER2 in relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
The partnership will integrate Cryoport's Cryoportal® Logistics Management Platform and LabConnect's SampleGISTICS™ platform to provide Triumvira with the highest possible available level of tracking and proactive management for their samples, source materials, and therapeutic product. Each step from scheduling, sample collection, confirming courier pickups/deliveries, and monitoring transport will be monitored by LabConnect and Cryoport project management.
LabConnect, a provider of central laboratory services for cell and gene therapy clinical trials, will utilize its virtual accessioning system and proprietary tracking platform SampleGISTICS™ to capture real time data from the time of sample and source material collection. In addition, LabConnect will provide analytical support, customized collection supplies, project management, and data management support.
"We are excited to be collaborating with Cryoport as they share our commitment to cell and gene therapy trial service innovation," said Tom Sellig, CEO of LabConnect. "The integrated solution will provide Triumvira with a seamless level of support to ensure successful execution of their clinical program."
