How successful CDMO collaboration sets the foundation for sterile injectable product success

PDF 8.5 MB

In the realm of Sterile Injectables (SI), sponsors come in a variety of sizes and with a range of experience levels. The oncology segment, which will drive much of the growth in the SI market (expected CAGR of 9.1%) in the coming years, is the focus of many drug developers with significant differences when it comes to history, footprint and experience.1 The same is true for contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) and the dynamics of these outsourcing relationships have a huge influence on project success. CDMOs work with all types of sponsors, from small, emerging, sometimes virtual companies, to large biotech and pharma companies. To accommodate such variety, CDMOs must make every possible effort to customize their operations to the sponsor’s product technical needs without compromising quality or safety. The two mottos, “Right the First Time” and “No Cutting Corners Allowed” are pillars for a CDMO.

In this white paper, we discuss how a small or medium-sized biotech or pharma company can benefit from the experience and assistance provided by a CDMO.

  • Video The Music of Process Development Science

    Where QBD was the orchestral sheet music that determined how drug product development has been harmonized over the last 15 or so years, contemporary patient-centric risk-based approaches to drug development are the pop evolution. The music is still beautiful when produced well - but the focus is no longer on the full orchestra, it's on key players and moments. First - think McCartney and Lennon - one without the other and we don’t have the Beatles. The same can be said for collaboration between drug process development and commercial production colleagues. They are central to ensuring that products are easier to transfer and can be scaled, and that manufacturing challenges are identified early on and addressed proactively. In his keynote, Bernd Schümmelfeder Director-Team Leader PPD Business Development, Pfizer explores how lyrics (communication), rhythm (standardization), bass (structured development processes), and lead guitar (the use of smart technologies) throughout the drug development process come together to create beautiful music - a drug that gets to patients safely and at pace. Key areas for discussion include: Clear decision and inflection points to manage costs and prioritize projects with a higher probability of success Smart technologies like modeling to identify challenges early on and avoid late-stage pitfalls Use of platform technologies to simplify the tech transfer process and improve process robustness Areas to optimize the product development and manufacturing process to make it more efficient, cost-effective, and patient-focused
