Process Development and Manufacturing
Our consultants are skilled in every aspect of Biologics CMC from concept through Agency approval. Streamlined process development to commercialization is achieved when CMC requirements are considered early and kept as a priority. Some Keys to success include:
- Obtaining high quality, commercially available materials early in the Development stage will avoid supply and qualification issues later on. DSI can assist you with securing available high quality materials.
- Selecting equipment fit for small scale and that is also scalable leads to commercially viable processes. DSI can assure equipment fit for purpose at all scales, that is dependable and has adequate vendor support for maintenance, repairs and parts.
- Identifying and contracting with GMP compliant development and manufacturing organizations smooths the pathway to regulatory submission and approval. DSI can provide a list of capable and GMP compliant CMO/CDMOs, author requests for proposals, evaluate proposals and recommend best choice(s), assist in managing activities at a CMO/CDMO..
