CRO and CDMO solutions: Transforming the pharmaceutical value chain for emerging biotechs and large pharmas - How integrating research and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency and accelerates time to market.

With CPHI Milan just around the corner, we sat down with some of the sponsors for this year’s conference tracks to discuss the most pressing topics in pharma. 

A contract research organization (CRO) supports biopharma companies by providing a wide range of early-stage drug research and development offerings, whereas a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) supports sponsors by providing later-stage drug development and manufacturing services. In the pharmaceutical industry, it’s not uncommon for sponsors to independently collaborate with both a CRO and a CDMO partner at various stages of drug development, which can create unnecessary complexities and unanticipated challenges.

Our new infographic explains the benefits of working with an end-to-end, integrated CRO/CDMO partner that provides a wide range of innovative research, development, and manufacturing capabilities. It also illustrates how a single, centralized vendor can offer improved simplicity, speed, and scalability on the journey from molecule to medicine to market.

Managing the biopharma supply chain is a highly complex undertaking that is becoming ever more so as the number of new products rises and new process technologies are introduced. Moving with ease from one step to the next (R&D, production, distribution) while adhering to regulations and meeting customer demands involves managing many moving parts. It also requires managing a growing number of channels through which data needs to be sent, received, and tracked. Awareness and oversight over every activity and relationship along the continuum is critical for avoiding disruptions that can negatively influence distribution processes This presentation will provide insight into some of common blind spots that threaten supply chain quality, including: Supply chain vulnerabilities Insufficient demand signals Under-nurtured supplier relationships Supply chain network customization Attendees will learn about the measures that should be embedded throughout the supply chain, from procurement through last-mile delivery, to avoid these blind spots and build customer trust and confidence

Ensuring accurate potency testing and maintaining product purity are crucial in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development, scale-up, and commercialization. Innovative solutions, including effective tools and streamlined processes, are necessary for efficient production of ADCs for clinical trials and commercial launches. Reagents such as dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA) and tris(2-carboxyethyl phosphine) (TCEP) play vital roles in conjugation chemistry, enabling efficient and precise antibody-drug conjugation. This presentation will explore leveraging CGMP grade materials and a trusted supply chain partner to help teams achieve the highest quality outcomes for ADC their projects to overcome challenges in potency testing and product purity.

The evolving landscape of the pharmaceutical industry, marked by significant breakthroughs in advanced treatments and relentless pressures for speed and innovation, has fundamentally transformed the role of Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs). As the industry faces challenges from supply chain disruptions, regulatory shifts, capacity deficits, and cost pressures, CDMOs are increasingly operating as strategic partners who play a critical role in helping to bring new therapies to market through innovative service models and customizable solutions across different scales and modalities.
Attendees will gain insight into the evolution of CDMOs from transactional service providers to essential collaborators, enabling biotech and pharmaceutical companies to streamline the path to Investigational New Drug (IND) submission, optimize their supply chains, reduce risks, and accelerate the development and commercialization of new therapies to market.
Discussion points include: Leveraging integrated CRO/CDMO capabilities and a robust global network for enhanced stability, flexibility, and reliability in uncertain times Dynamic scaling and pivoting of operations in response to market shifts, global health crises, and changing business models Driving innovation and efficiency with advanced technology platforms and collaborative project management Navigating complex regulatory landscapes to comply with changing global standards and market access requirements Future-proofing manufacturing processes through adaptive strategies"

Testing for Mycoplasma is essential to ensure safety of biopharmaceutical products. With over 200 recognized species, Mycoplasmas are common contaminants in manufacturing facilities and cell-derived biologics. Existing compendial methods are complex and lengthy. PCR-based methods, while faster, can be limited in sensitivity. To overcome these challenges, we have developed novel protocols based on the Applied Biosystems™ MycoSEQ Plus quantitative PCR method combined with automated DNA extraction. Our protocols were validated with live Mycoplasma species to meet regulatory requirements. The sensitivity, sample volume and turnaround time surpass compendial culture method results. Our testing protocols are suitable for testing a variety of samples, including raw materials & final products, samples that interfere with traditional culture and PCR method, and complex samples such as cell and gene therapy products.
This session discusses how our new testing protocols can benefit biologics companies and help accelerate the manufacturing process for cell and gene therapies.
