How to Maximise Efficiencies in Drug Development
The development and manufacturing of drugs requires a complex and interconnected process involving Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) development, drug product development and manufacture, clinical trials, and commercialisation. Traditionally, these functions have been outsourced to multiple providers, leading to challenges in coordination, communication, and efficiency. Below we look at what the benefits are of using one provider for integrated development and commercial processes.
Streamlined Communication and Collaboration
Consolidating API development, drug product development, drug manufacture, clinical trials, and commercial manufacture to one outsourcing contractor, eliminates the need for coordination between multiple providers and ultimately the gaps in communication this may create.
Higher Quality Standards
With a sole provider, quality control measures can be implemented consistently across all stages of the development and manufacturing process. This ensures that each process adheres to the highest standards, reducing the risk of quality-related issues and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Mitigates Risk
A sole provider oversees responsibility for ensuring regulatory compliance, maintaining quality control, and meeting timelines. If unforeseen challenges arise, they can be handled quickly and efficiently, reducing potential delays and minimizing the impact for the client, and ultimately the patient.
Significant Cost and Time Savings
Clients can focus on a single partnership, reducing overall costs and simplifying the procurement process. Additionally, development through to commercial supply with a sole provider eliminates the need for transferring and reconciling data, reducing the risk of errors and delays. This streamlined approach accelerates the overall timeline from bench to bedside.
