Enabling Efficient Delivery of Test Material Through the Clinical Pipeline
Effective introduction of a monoclonal antibody or antibody-drug conjugate into clinical trials and final commercialization requires a defined path toward an efficient, robust manufacturing process with suitable quality parameters. In this process, efficient technology transfer between the drug-developing technology originator and an approved and authorized third party or parties is crucial.
SAFC will present the requirements of a properly designed technology transfer process and how to ensure a successful transfer and reproducible conjugation process with solid analytics, appropriate engineering design, process (quality) controls and quality assurance. Understanding which details are critical to the development of a solid CMC package and how this information gets effectively communicated between the various parties involved in the transfer process will be emphasized.
Is your ADC ready for transfer to the next clinical step?
