Better manufacturing starts with better design. At Forge, we work alongside gene therapy developers to strengthen every step of the manufacturing process, including the often overlooked molecular foundation. With firsthand experience navigating scale-up, we know how critical early design decisions are to long-term success. Low yields or inconsistent capsid expression? Your rep/cap plasmid might be the missing link. As part of our FUEL™ platform, our modified rep/cap plasmids help developers: • Boost yields without altering the capsid protein sequence • Seamlessly integrate into our proprietary backbone plasmid • Scale with confidence while reducing development risk Built for manufacturability, backed by experience, and designed to help your therapy reach the clinic faster.

Same product, different batch size. How does this affect my BLA submission? When it comes to filing your BLA,  comparability data  isn’t just a checkbox, it’s the gatekeeper to approval. For AAV gene therapies, consistency in potency, purity, and full/empty capsid ratio is non-negotiable. At Forge, we help you bridge the clinical-to-commercial gap with harmonized assays, in-house analytics, and deep regulatory know-how—so your product holds up, batch after batch.
