Overcoming challenges in biosimilar analytical characterization

Drug Patent Watch

These large, complex molecules are made inside living cells, which can lead to small variations in the manufacturing methods that can have a significant impact on the final product. Robust Clinical Trial Design : Clinical trials for biosimilars should be designed to demonstrate equivalence or non-inferiority to the reference product.

How did pharma develop a vaccine so quickly?

World of DTC Marketing

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines copied RNA sequence from the virus genome and found a way to manufacture it at scale with high-level processes and quality control. Another consideration is that while in traditional vaccine development, clinical trials are carried out in sequence. 1455NO-HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS_VACCINES_PFIZER_O_.

Lab to jab in 100 days: manufacturing flexibility for future rapid responses

Pharmaceutical Technology

When an mRNA vaccine is administered, a patient’s body produces that protein to prompt a desired immune response. This approach to vaccination offers many advantages to developers, including quick development, high potency, a favorable safety profile, and the potential for cost-effective manufacturing.

ESMO 2022: the evolution of TIL therapy – a highly promising approach

Pharmaceutical Technology

As an autologous cell therapy, manufacturing the infusion product is a highly specialised process involving tumour harvest and the extraction and large-scale ex vivo expansion of TILs. The use of engineered immune cytokines that selectively induce the expansion of TILs is being investigated as an alternative to IL-2 stimulation.
