The future of CMC for novel therapies
Novel and advanced therapies have come on in leaps and bounds over the past decade. Some cell and gene therapies have already reached the approvals stage, while others have now entered the later development stages. As a result, manufacturing process consistency, GMP standards and more must now meet more formal…
Essential requirements for autologous cellular therapies
Edward Samuel, EVP Technical Operations at Achilles Therapeutics, explains why industrialised manufacturing and scale-up of autologous cellular immunotherapies will require fully closed systems and process automation.
Engaging the innate immune system to fight cancer effectively
Most therapeutic approaches in immuno-oncology focus on targeting the adaptive immune system; innate immunity has only recently gathered momentum. One of the most potent receptors for activating innate immune cells such as natural killer cells and macrophages is CD16A. Addressing this target mimics the body’s natural defense against potential threats,…
Setting a new standard of care for liver MRI contrast agents in patients with reduced kidney function
A ‘hot’ topic on the radar of radiologists in recent years has been the safety of the potentially toxic gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is especially pertinent in the detection of focal liver lesions for patients with poor kidney function due to potentially fatal…
Quality-driven solutions from discovery to commercialisation
Find out how SGS’s high-quality analytical testing solutions could benefit all phases of your drug development programmes, from discovery through commercialisation.
Guide to Testing
Welcome to European Pharmaceutical Review’s Guide to Testing. In this edition, Oliver Großgart, Plant Safety Expert at TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH, discusses the benefits of leveraging acoustic emission testing to identify faults in compressed air pressure vessels, and Associates of Cape Cod and SGS Health Science showcase their services,…
Bioprocessing/Bioproduction In-Depth Focus 2022
Download this in-depth focus to discover why closed systems and process automation are key for industrialised autologous cell therapy manufacturing and how CMC strategies for cell and gene therapies need to evolve.
Drug Formulation In-Depth Focus 2022
Features in this in-depth focus highlight developments in the MRI contrast agent space, explore the development of precision medicine for chronic diseases and explain why immunotherapies should engage the innate immune system in the fight against cancer.
QA/QC Mass Spectrometry/ Chromatography In-Depth Focus 2022
In this in-depth focus, articles illustrate how mass spectrometry‑based wastewater analysis can estimate illicit drug usage and explore the applications of mass spectrometry in characterising therapeutic antibodies.
European Pharmaceutical Review Issue 2 2022
Features in this issue discuss how bioprocessing must adapt to meet the needs of autologous cell therapies, the role of mass spectrometry in enhancing antibody consistency and the economic benefits of embracing continuous manufacturing. Also in this journal, articles exploring the development of precision medicine for chronic diseases, why acoustic…
Tracking and tracing to the root cause: case studies in microbial contamination
In this article, pharmaceutical microbiologist and contamination control expert Tim Sandle presents three microbial contamination investigation case studies, highlighting the key lessons for pharmaceutical microbiologists to take away and the underlying importance of identifying the root cause of microbial data deviations.
Data-enriched edible pharmaceuticals (DEEP): a new generation of solid drug products
In this article, Natalja Genina, Ilari Ahola, Johan Bøtker and Jukka Rantanen at the University of Copenhagen and Sofia Kälvemark Sporrong from Uppsala University discuss the potential of data-enriched edible pharmaceuticals (DEEP) to overcome various drug administration and supply challenges.
Intelligent packaging: combating counterfeits and extending drug lifespan
Best estimates suggest counterfeit drugs may account for as much as 50 percent of the sold online and 10 percent of those in circulation worldwide. With counterfeiters primarily replicating packaging to sell imitation products, here Ketaki Badhire of Future Market Insights explores the development of intelligent packaging in combatting counterfeit…
Shifting from megamergers to strategic collaboration: M&A predictions for biopharma
In 2021 we saw deals move away from the massive megamergers of 2019 to smaller collaboration and partnership agreements. In this article, European Pharmaceutical Review’s Hannah Balfour discusses the key deals of last year, whether the trend of high volume but small value will continue in 2022, and the motivations…
Menopause, contraception, endometriosis: are women’s health issues finally being recognised?
Despite recent progress in women’s health issues, there are still many challenges women continue to face when accessing healthcare. Here, Alison Slingsby of HRA Pharma discusses the recent advancements made in the UK and where further development is required.
