Moving from drug discovery into the early clinical development can be both challenging and time consuming without access to the necessary expertise. To perform a phase 1 study successfully, having drug substances and drug products (of the right quality) is crucial. In addition, the right knowledge and resources must also be in place, to ensure the fastest route to clinic.

We are approaching the end of a year which saw global vaccine rollout for COVID-19, 44 novel drug approvals (to date) and the return of the CPHI Worldwide in-person event.

Over the years, the prominence placed on creating a ‘greener’ future has increased dramatically. As a result, companies globally are facing growing pressure to adopt sustainable processes and reduce their carbon footprint. At Recipharm, we are taking a proactive approach to the situation and will be ready to adapt to any future changes of legislations, as well as supply challenges. 

Lyophilisation or freeze drying is an important means to improve thermal stability of a drug product, according to Thomas Becker, Quality Director and Qualified Person, Recipharm. This is particularly true for those that are thermolabile, such as mRNA vaccine candidates.

At Recipharm, we have the experience and appropriate licencing to support both development and commercial supply of cannabinoids.

Blow-fill-seal (BFS) technology is being explored for one-dose presentations of vaccines and other biologics, providing a continuous, automated process that can lower manufacturing costs, increasing access for patients worldwide. Other BFS benefits for biologics developers include enhanced automated processes with minimal human intervention, lower risk of foreign body contamination, and a high level of container integrity control during fill and finish. Manufacturers also appreciate the minimised risk of breakages during shipping and improved administration usability for clinicians and patients.
However, implementing BFS for biologics and vaccine projects comes with challenges: Ensuring chemical and physical compatibility of the container and the overall blow-fill-seal process with the drug formulation Demonstrating effective drug stability within the container Determining acceptable extractable and leachable profiles. In this session, we will explain how vaccine and biologics developers can overcome these challenges to harness the BFS manufacturing efficiency and patient convenience benefits.

The CDMO is already making certain investments to enable technology transfer and scale-up to commence imminently.

Recipharm is pleased to announce that the results of the study with Erdosteine as an add-on treatment for COVID-19 patients are now available.

Resyca, a joint venture between Recipharm and Medspray, is developing a novel type of soft mist inhaler devices, based on an existing primary packaging: glass pre filled syringes. This way we can utilise existing filling lines within Recipharm to do the aseptical filling. The lecture will describe the devices and the typical timelines for clinical and commercial supply.

Most pharma and biological companies perform their drug discovery, pre clinical and phase 1 clinical work with nebulisers and liquid formulations. By using a soft mist inhaler device, they can take a shortcut and reach the market sooner and with lower development risks. Resyca's soft mist inhalers have been developed with biologics formulations in mind, being able to deliver milligrams of drug in a single inhalation from a pocket size device.

Swedish life science company, Sobrera Pharma, and global contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO), Recipharm, have entered into an agreement for the formulation development and manufacturing of SO-001, a new oral treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).

This session was originally broadcast as part of the CPHI Worldwide 2021 content programme. When we look at the evolution of the patient experience in drug delivery, we see that patients have traditionally been tethered to healthcare professionals, typically needing to visit a clinic to administer their treatment. With the arrival of new technologies, higher patient empowerment and better drug delivery mechanism, patients are starting to look for safe and more convenient manners moving toward self-administered rather than hospital-administered formulations. This session will explore: Growth, Competition, and Improved Access to Key Therapies Paving the Way for Increasing Advances in the Self-Administration Drug-Delivery Industry New Large-Volume Administration Devices Patient-Centricity Taking a Pivotal Role

CDMO says it has made "notable changes" to its supply chain processes to ensure continuing supply of medicines during COVID-19 pandemic

In this eBook, we will explore how drug developers can best identify and develop the right drug delivery device for their self-administered injectable products. We will also highlight the potential disadvantages of poorly designed devices. We will provide practical, straightforward advice around choosing the right device for the needs of self-injected products, and the considerations that need to be made to ensure optimum performance and long-term patient acceptance as well as highlight the added value of engaging device experts early in the design and development process.

Recipharm expects cost synergies of SEK 125 million (USD 12 million) from its recent acquisition of UK drug delivery firm Consort Medical and should realise them within the next 18 months, the Swedish contract research and development organisation (CDMO) said in an earnings call Thursday.

While developing a new pharmaceutical product is one of the most interesting and rewarding activities to partake in, it is also extremely challenging. It is a given that drug development projects will not always succeed and the more innovative they are, the higher the likelihood of failure. There is no way to eliminate the risk of failure. However, there are ways to reduce these risks.

CEO says the acquisition of Consort Medical will help to create a leading advanced delivery systems company.

In recent years there has been a global focus on adopting sustainable processes, reducing carbon footprint and ultimately creating a ‘greener’ world for the future.
