To build public trust and confidence in innovative technologies, they must be of good quality, safe and effective. To address the need for a common set of methods for determining quality for viral vectored vaccines, USP is developing a set of analytical methods to support developers, manufacturers, regulatory agencies and national control laboratories worldwide. A shared understanding of viral vectored vaccine quality can help accelerate product development, guide successful scale-up of manufacturing and fuel regulatory confidence that manufacturers are employing best practices and appropriate quality controls when using this new modality.

USP welcomes public comments on Analytical Procedures for Viral Vectored Vaccines Quality.
