Potent Drug Contract Manufacturing
Potent Drug Contract Manufacturing
The expanding field of high potent drugs presents a unique set of challenges and safety concerns for drug developers, clinicians and patients alike. In addition to ensuring the safe handling of potent compounds throughout API and drug product manufacturing, pharmaceutical companies must also safely scale up production to commercial quantities and maintain supply chain security across all distribution channels.
OVERALL CAPABILITIES
- Potency classification down to <1µg/m3
- Potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPI)
- Dedicated hydrogenation suite (4,000 L)
- Process control temperature (-20 ˚C – 120 ˚C)
UNIQUE CAPABILITIES
- Hot Melt Extrusion
- Single pot processing
- Split butterfly valve transfers
- Identical process train configuration to facilitate scale-up activities
Occupational Exposure Band (OEB) Considerations
At our potent product production facilities, we offer contract manufacturing for potent drug products with potency classification as low as OEB 5 (<1 μg/m3). To minimize your risk, we will first comprehensively characterize your compound, determining its OEB hazard rating and implementing the necessary containment and safety measures throughout each project phase. With a clear understanding of your product’s OEB classification, we can then work with you to develop optimal processes, clinical trial designs and drug delivery methods.
