Blood monocytes activated into killer cells

Cell Therapies Pty Ltd has been set up to manage the commercial interface to the CPC. Cell Therapies Pty Ltd. provides clients and collaborators with a focused business unit that is able to negotiate and execute all business aspects of contract engagements. We are able to provide access to the hospital’s wider expertise in advanced imaging, clinical trial design and approval, recruitment of principal investigators and patients, licensed manufacture, audit compliance, clinical interpretation, and reporting. We build on our experience in protocol development and SOP preparation, while matching research imperatives to licensed production restraints.
Special laboratory features |

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in East Melbourne Australia

By having a CPC within our centre, we can provide ongoing physician input into the CT trial design, ongoing contact with regional clinician colleagues, and closer contact to the patient, hence a higher likelihood of achieving trial recruitment targets. Our academic institute brings substantial expertise in fundamental research to any clinical trial, and therefore the potential to add value to research collaborations. Examples include involvement of the Stem Cell Research and Cancer Immunology Laboratories and the advanced imaging department. The latter has been involved in studies tracking the fate of infused cells

Tracking Studies

In Vivo Tracking Studies Utilising Labelled Cells

Do you need to know where your transplanted cells end up after minutes, hours or even days?

A fully integrated multi-modality imaging facility and a GMP/TGA licensed facility can deliver critical new information about the fate of transplanted cells.

Combinations of tomographic and 2D whole body imaging can deliver spatial information at resolutions not previously available. Cell therapies has undertaken a number of tracking studies utilizing CT, PET & SPECT imaging and custom labelled cells.

An ability to both monitor and quantify the fate of transplanted cells, and the optimisation of the delivery route may be the difference between a successful trial and failure. Expect to see here, results from on-going trials and publications currently undergoing peer review.
