The traditional method of big batch manufacturing must change as biopharmaceutical companies move away from the one-size-fits-all blockbuster pharmaceutical model toward increasingly more innovative, targeted biologics that deliver better patient outcomes.
Are you up to the task of bringing a biologic to market? Do you have a strategy and plan in place? Explore some of the questions to consider in order to map out a successful pathway and avoid pitfalls.
Building a bioprocessing facility is usually a complicated process and requires partnering with not only drug developers, but also many different experts in various industries. BeiGene, a commercial-stage biotechnology company, can attest to these challenges.
Why new biopharma processing technology and automated processing is key to driving down costs and boosting facility efficiency.
A growing number of biologic manufacturers are adopting new fill-finish technologies, including single-use systems, pre-filled syringes, and automated fill-finish systems. When doing so it is critical to also consider the cost-benefit tradeoffs.
Demand to increase speed and flexibility while maintaining sterility spurs the adoption of novel technologies and materials, all of which introduce new challenges.
PODs provide the environments for the entire upstream and downstream process for a state of the art gene therapy facility.
Flexible and modular facility designs that can be built in a factory, shipped to the site and then rapidly assembled have been recognized and are being addressed by innovative suppliers.
Single-use technologies are being seen as the solution to flexibly and cost-effectively address many of the challenges around creating biologics manufacturing capacity.
The plug-and-play nature of single-use enables you to incorporate new technologies and innovations into the process workflow as they become available. But beyond the flexibility of the single-use platform, you need to consider a range of other factors to ensure your capacity can will meet your long-term needs.
<p>If you have decided to add capacity in-house, you need to consider which location enables you to most efficiently and effectively meet demand. Having knowledge of the local operating environment as well as regulatory considerations is vital. Where you don’t have this knowledge in-house, finding a supplier with first-hand experience of operating in a region can help fast track your project.</p>
In selecting a biomanufacturing platform, it's necessary to properly understand what the industry needs are and what aspects of the drug development and clinical pathway you intend to support with your new manufacturing capacity. Having a rigorous selection and assessment criteria will ensure you make the right decision.
