Moving Drug Substance Off the Critical Path — Streamlined Strategies to Accelerate to First-in-Human & Beyond

  • Wednesday, June 15, 2022

The need for accelerated drug development has become even greater, with added pressure on CDMOs to deliver customer’s programs in a timely, efficient and agile manner. In this industry, time is not just money, it can impact the entire program; a program which has been through years of careful consideration, strategic discussions and planning to get medicines to patients in need. Drug substance plays a major part in ensuring a drug program achieves its major milestones, keeps to budget and delivers on its corporate goals. As every molecule and development program is different, there is no single manufacturing solution. Understanding what strategy to move forward with, what processes and technologies are available and who to partner with, is key.

Utilizing characterization and screening technologies early on can help to overcome the most challenging of syntheses and avoid future changes that would create downstream drug product difficulties. Determining the best manufacturing process for your molecule — whether it’s traditional batch style or continuous flow — can also aid in getting therapies to the clinic faster. In addition, leveraging a partner with in-house drug substance, drug product and clinical testing capabilities can greatly improve efficiencies, reduce overall development timelines and increase the potential for both clinical and commercial success.

But how do drug developers know which strategy and approach is right for their molecule?

In this webinar, the featured speaker will discuss the different routes that drug developers can take to synthesize and manufacture their drug substance and evaluate their pros and cons. He will share how integrated drug substance and drug product capabilities in the candidate selection stage can aid in selecting the best molecules to move forward with into drug substance and beyond. He will also touch on the key technologies that can be employed to establish a robust, and commercially scalable synthetic process.

Join this webinar as the speaker explores case studies to demonstrate how drug substance and drug product development plans can be accelerated through innovative science and expertise to get drug substance off the critical path.
