MGB Biopharma (MGB), a biotech company based in Scotland, U.K., is developing a new class of anti-infective medicine based on Minor Groove Binder compounds. MGB-BP-3, a novel small molecule is currently in Phase 2a in the U.S. and Canada. The drug is being developed for the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. The Catalent sites located in San Diego, CA and Kansas City, MO offered a tablet formulation as a solution to MGB’s needs ,in the form of OptiForm® Total Supply, allowing the integration of formulation development, clinical trial material (CTM) manufacturing, and supply and distribution to patients. Within five months, the first clinical trial kits were successfully delivered to MGB’s patients.

The extension will add a capacity of over 10 million doses per annum to the site.

Formulating drugs for optimal stability and bioavailability is fundamental to the development of new pharmaceutical products. Once developed, these products must then be delivered to patients in the clinic. Since pharmaceutical scientists often work in isolation from the supply chain and clinical operations personnel responsible for clinical packaging and delivery of patient kits, there is an ever-present risk of potentially foreseeable and avoidable problems occurring further down the line. This article explores the benefits of a more integrated approach in which the chemical, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) teams and clinical teams work together at an early stage to achieve greater success for both the development program and patients.

The $30 million investment will enable the site to handle large-molecule programs, with additional capacity for small molecule dosage form development.
