also need to be evaluated as part of genotoxicity risk assessment. The traditional cytogenetic tests (karyotyping and FISH) can be conducted in compliance with the agency guidelines and are still the gold standard to provide information on structural and numeric chromosome aberrations. Recently, developed NGS‐based techniques offer better sensitivity and granularity of DNA sequences at transloca­tion sites. These molecular methods are expected to gain broader use to comple­ment cytogenetic testing.
14.4 Concluding Remarks
Genome editing technologies are evolving rapidly with multiple studies being car­ried out in the clinic. Recent advances in detecting on‐ and off‐target editing help to characterize the efficacy and safety of genome editing tools. Safety assessment includes orthogonal evaluation of off‐target activities encompassing short indels, large deletions and insertions as well as chromosome translocations. We will con­tinue to learn about the mechanisms and factors affecting the occurrence of these off‐target effects and how best to detect these molecular events. Recent regulatory guidance from US FDA and the EMA provides scientists and drug developers insight into assessing safety, quality, and potential risks for therapies utilizing engineered nucleases. These engineered nucleases offer great promise for treating acquired and genetic diseases, thus underline the importance of these evolving molecular methods as part of safety and risk assessment for patients.

15.1   Introduction toCompanion Diagnostics
A companion diagnostic (CDx) is a medical device that is required by regulatory agencies to determine patient eligibility for a drug or biological product[1]. Most often, a CDx is used to identify patients who are likely to benefit from treatment with a particular therapeutic. CDx products are invitro diagnostics (IVD), which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines as the reagents, instruments, and systems intended for use in diagnosis of disease or other conditions. They may be used in a manner to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease. In the United States, CDx are typically categorized as Class III in vitro diagnostics (CDx are Class C in the EU), which is the highest risk category. As such, a CDx will require premarket approval (PMA) prior to full commercial marketing.
The concept of a CDx was introduced through the approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the HER2 assay for the drug trastuzumab in 1998[2]. However, it was not until later in 2014 when the FDA issued “Guidance for Industry: In Vitro Companion Diagnostic Devices”[3] that the FDA more for­mally recognized the CDx. This guidance document was intended to assist phar­maceutical companies with an early assessment of the need for a CDx, i.e. during the drug development process, with the intention of CDx and therapeutic co‐development offering more rapid access to treatments for patients.

Other regulatory agencies have also recognized the need for companion diag­nostics including the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which introduced the In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Regulation (IVDR) that included a new classification system for CDx in 2017[4], and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of Japan, which published a “Notification on Approval Application for In Vitro Companion Diagnostics and Corresponding Therapeutic Products”[5] in 2013 defining a CDx as an invitro diagnostic reagent or device essential for the safe and effective use of corresponding therapeutic product.
The following sections describe the role of the CDx in gene therapy, strategies for CDx development, and considerations for their commercialization. In addi­tion, Chapters 16 and 17 provide additional details on the validation and regula­tory considerations for CDx development, respectively.
15.2   Role inGene Therapy
CDx have been used to ensure the best chance of success through a personalized medicine approach to choosing the appropriate drug for a given target popula­tion[6]. To date, over 50 companion diagnostic devices have been approved by the US FDA, the majority of which are intended for indications within the oncology space[7]. In rare instances, the FDA has also approved cancer therapeutics with so‐called complementary diagnostics, which are defined as diagnostics that may predict a more favorable benefit ratio but which are deemed non‐essential due to the overall drug benefit (Progression Free Survival [PFS], Overall Survival [OS]) within the indication[6].
The requirement for CDx tests has recently begun to expand beyond oncology as gene therapy (GTx) emerges as a promising new approach in personalized med­icine with the potential to cure inherited disorders with a single treatment. GTx functions at the molecular level by introducing therapeutic genes into target cells using a delivery vehicle, or vector. Vectors can be non‐viral, such as those found in DNA and mRNA strategies, or viral, which are typically recombinant viral vectors that are unable to replicate in the host cell[8].
One of the most promising classes of viral vectors currently being developed for GTx is the adeno‐associated virus (AAV)[9]. However, since AAVs are endemic to the human population, the determination of pre‐existing immunity against an AAV GTx is essential for patient safety and drug efficacy. In current GTx clinical trials, early bioanalytical methods are largely being utilized to identify patients with higher levels of preexisting immunity against a specific vector that could neutralize the corresponding drug product and reduce the level of efficacy.
