There May Be Dragons: Mapping 7 New & Emerging Pharma Development Risks
You have to think about things like technology transfers, shipping and logistics, as well as the increasingly complicated regulatory expectations across countries. Large pharma companies often have the staff and experience to manage and move drug products and ancillaries within and across borders, but new and emerging companies tend to run lean and be scientifically focused. As a result, you may not have the resources or expertise to coordinate development programs across multiple sites, geographies or vendors. This eBook is designed to help you map seven key risk areas in drug development and clinical services—and build a plan to overcome them.

Validation or Qualification – What’s the difference?
For those studying, manufacturing, or experimenting with delicate pharmaceuticals and biological samples, the importance of sample storage and accurate temperature monitoring is well known. From a qualification and validation perspective, the equipment and processes used for shipping, storing (whether refrigerated storage or ultra-cold storage), and other services must comply with the products’ requirements throughout the chain of custody. The terms “validation” and “qualification” are used interchangeably and loosely at times.

Defense in Depth – Off-Site Storage of Biological Specimens and Biopharmaceuticals for Risk Mitigation
The management of risk is part of all business operations, but to commercial biobanks, clinical research institutes, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies, risk mitigation is a critical element of day-to-day operations. The costly nature of irreplaceable samples/cell lines and high value products such as cell-based drugs, and biological active pharmaceutical ingredient (Bio-API) dictates planning for the full continuum of risk. The best solution is frequently off-site storage.
