Personalized Peptide Manufacture, a CMO approach

Cary Potochnik

NAPP™ Team Lead, Polypeptide Group

ABSTRACT

Exploration of personalized therapies presents new challenges in their manufacture. The processes must minimize turnaround times and be ready to execute on short notice while remaining robust enough to handle an novel product with each run. These problems are compounded by the regulatory expectations in manufacture of Drug Substance. Utilization of CMO’s to collaborate on these problems diversifies risk and allows increased flexibility around program scheduling.
