With the number of clinical trials growing yearly, outsourcing clinical packaging and supply has emerged as an important strategic choice for pharma companies. By partnering with specialized CDMOs, companies can leverage their expertise, state-of-the-art facilities, and streamlined processes to ensure efficient packaging and labeling of investigational drugs. In this article, Rachel Griffiths and Craig LaMarca discuss how outsourcing offers flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, helping companies adapt to market changes and manage budgets. #CDMO #ClinicalTrialSupply #PharmaOutsourcing #LetsTalkFuture

Drug development is a very lengthy, expensive process, and reports indicate that every day a drug launch is delayed, millions of dollars in revenue can be lost. In a recent interview with Drug Development & Delivery, PCI Pharma Services' David O'Connell, Director of Scientific Affairs, discussed best practices for outsourcing high potency drug product development and manufacturing programs and why choosing a CDMO that can meet all your outsourcing requirements throughout your drug product's lifecycle is important.

Hear from Austin Roberts, Operations Manager, Sterile Fill-Finish, at PCI Pharma Services' facility in San Diego, as he shares valuable industry insights and how he sees robotic technology shaping the future of GMP aseptic manufacturing. As Operations Manager, Sterile Fill-Finish, at PCI's San Diego facility, my responsibilities include overseeing multiple areas of robotic aseptic filling, including inventory management, formulation, filling, visual inspection, and packaging and labeling of vials, prefilled syringes or cartridges. Our GMP clinical sterile drug product manufacturing and packaging facility in San Diego features gloveless aseptic filling robotic technology. I supported the validation of the robotic filling isolators and other GMP equipment within the Grade C cleanroom. Through this experience, I have become the subject matter expert for the equipment and have established many of the standard operating procedures used throughout the facility. By working closely with the QA, Project Management, and Engineering teams, we ensure GMP compliance and successful operational delivery to meet our clients' needs. As I picture the future of Sterile manufacturing, I see robotic isolators leading the way. There are numerous benefits to using robotic isolators, and it makes sense for the industry to continue developing this technology, which ultimately benefits the patient. Compared to conventional aseptic filling lines, robotic isolators offer many advantages. Operating in a sterile environment with no human intervention reduces the risk of introducing contaminants. The interior of the isolators are decontaminated through vaporized hydrogen peroxide and are designed to supply Grade A laminar airflow, together with ready-to-use sterile components ensures sterility. Drug product quality is enhanced with the use of plastic caps with integrated stoppers, which helps eliminate metal particle contamination. PCI Pharma Services is constantly evolving, creating capabilities and adding science-focused solutions for clients and their life changing drug products. The robotic isolators offer scalable clinical solutions for filling vials, syringes, and cartridges of various sizes to meet the demands of global clinical studies. PCI strives to accomplish customer commitment and flexibility, and the San Diego site can provide this by performing receiving, aseptic filling, visual inspection, packaging and labeling, and distribution all within one building. Adding robotic isolators to our vast capabilities helps us become a world leading CDMO. #AspeticManufacturing #SterileFillFinish #ExpertInsights #LetsTalkFuture

ESG-related challenges will take time to overcome in any industry. It's a continuous journey whereby achievements and milestones stand on the shoulders of previous accomplishments.   ESG must be woven into a business's fabric to obtain meaningful progress and tangible results, and several approaches can help. Technology adoption and innovation, including leveraging digitalization and automation trends to help cut energy consumption or material waste. Collaboration with other industries when it comes to complex supply chain processes and global reach — energy, packaging, and manufacturing, to name a few — to develop and hone best practices toward net-zero goals.   Read more from Dr. Kevin Robinson, Manufacturing Chemist, and Gigi Bat-Erdene, Global ESG Program Manager at PCI Pharma Services, on tackling climate science, workforce empowerment, responsible waste management, and supply chain security.   https://lnkd.in/ex-3_MEX #ESG #Sustainability #LetsTalkFuture

Reports estimate that over 500 CDMOs are currently operating worldwide. However, only a small percentage can serve in a consultative capacity and perform non-core, value-added functions alongside the core functions of development and manufacture, clinical trial supply, and commercial packaging. The provision of non-core support services differentiates the good from the great. As the outsourcing landscape continues to evolve, sponsors should consider the impact of such services when developing their RFPs. By imbuing the RFP process with a wider consideration of the full scope of what the CDMO can offer, biopharma companies can maximize their chances of finding a CDMO partner that can provide seamless solutions and reduce vendor management complexity.
