Navigating the sea change of pharmaceutical outsourcing: part II
After what has oft-been described as an unprecedented period of turbulence in almost every aspect of our everyday lives, Dr Kevin Robinson sat down with experts from a number of pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) to discuss how the events of the past year have affected the activity and outlook of the industry’s outsourcing sector
Real-time monitoring of pharmaceutical coatings by optical coherence tomography (OCT)
The coating process is the last step of tablet production and thus influences some of the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of these oral solid dosage forms. RCPE's Stephan Sacher, Senior scientist, Process and Manufacturing Science, Matthias Wolfgang, Scientist, Process and Manufacturing Science, Anna Peter, Scientist, Process and Manufacturing Science, Sandra Stranzinger, Senior scientist, Advanced Products and Delivery, and Johannes Khinast, CEO and Scientific Director, explain
Moulded glass vials secure COVID-19 vaccine supply
Although different materials have been trialled and tested, glass remains the most widely used type of primary container for parenteral drug products, writes Dr Jingwei Zhang, R&D Director, SGD Pharma
Immunotherapy: antibody drug conjugates from a small molecule perspective
Immunotherapies such as ADCs deliver a more targeted treatment against cancer that improves the quality of life for the patient compared with traditional chemotherapies, write Maurits Janssen, Senior Director, Strategic Business Development, and Bernhard Stump, Associate Director, Head of Process Development Bioconjugates, Lonza Pharma & Biotech
API sourcing: what to look for in a supplier
Jonathan Knight, Director of Market Intelligence and New Technologies at Cambrex, presents an overview of the API sourcing marketplace, summarising the factors that need to be considered when choosing an API supplier in the light of recent global market, political and economic developments
From the lab to the last mile: optimising the pharma cold chain (part I)
With more than 40 COVID-19 vaccines in human testing worldwide and an expected 14 billion vaccines needed to facilitate a global vaccination, the stakes are high when it comes to safe storage and distribution. Dr Kevin Robinson recently caught up with Stirling Ultracold’s CEO, Dusty Tenney, and Robin Grimwood, President and COO of Infinity Biologix, to discuss the criticality of ULT storage as we approach a vaccine delivery date
Model-based optimisation of mixed solvent systems for spray drying
Spray drying is a common and effective approach to enhance the bioavailability of low-solubility small molecules. As the process requires intimate knowledge of aspects such as droplet trajectories, in this article Jonathan L. Cape, Kimberly B. Shepard and Michael M. Morgen, from Lonza Pharma & Biotech, examine different approaches to spray drying and ways to optimise drug production and quality
Developing innovative antivirals for novel viruses
Since the emergence of COVID-19, researchers worldwide have striven to study and overcome this new disease and the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes it. To achieve this, we will probably need both vaccines and antiviral drugs, report Zamas Lam, Senior Vice President of Preclinical Development, and John Kolman, Vice President of Translational Medicine, QPS
Scaling-up the pharmaceutical supply chain with digitisation: part I
If there are issues with any vaccine, the traditional recall process, which is highly dependent on manual and paper-based processes — and provides no insight in terms of where the product ends up — is not up to the task. It is simply too slow and ill-informed to combat the fallout!
Cleanroom Conference and Manufacturing Chemist Live 2020 to go virtual
The virtual event taking place on 10-11 November 2020 will provide delegates with full access to the Manufacturing Chemist Live, Cleanroom UK, India and Singapore content and exhibitors
Transporting the COVID-19 vaccine around the world: a global problem
Elisabeth Vachette, Head of Product Management for Bags/Mixing/Tanks at Sartorius Stedim Biotech, discusses the challenges associated with distributing a vaccine to the global population with Dr Kevin Robinson
Manufacturing pressure accelerates move to fully formulated film coatings
Why now is the right time to change to a leaner system, explains Colorcon's Dr Jason Teckoe, Technical Director, EMEA
Small test efforts for large production facilities
Sanofi uses filling and closing machines from Syntegon Technology to determine the ideal manufacturing parameters for the development and lifecycle management of its products, explains Sebastian Lauterbach, Area Sales Manager, Syntegon Technology
Cleanroom Conference and Manufacturing Chemist Live events set to go ahead
The co-located events will go ahead in October with new safety measures in place, after being postponed from their original date at the start of summer due to COVID-19
Delivering success for inhaled drug development programmes
No two inhaled drug development programmes will have exactly the same characteristics or drivers; so, to ensure the greatest chance of success, it is important not to be unduly influenced by previous programme, or have a technology bias towards a single platform
Next-generation rapid transfer systems for the biopharmaceutical industry
The safe manufacture of pharmaceutical drugs requires perfectly sterile and particle-free environments. A rapid transfer port, which comprises double containment doors that are integrated into an isolator, is a system that allows the safe transfer of substances used in drug development, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients or vaccines
Overcoming the excipient challenge with a multifunctional filler-binder
Dr Maj-Britt Cepok, Head of Business Development Pharma at BENEO, talks to Dr Kevin Robinson about trends in excipients and explains why the right filler-binder can make all the difference
