TOX and CTM Manufacturing at Eurofins BPT
In the drug development process, drugs undergo a rigorous journey from target identification to new chemical entity identification, involving the screening of tens of thousands to potentially hundreds of thousands of compounds. Preclinical pharmacology and toxicology play crucial roles in translating laboratory findings to clinical applications. Toxicology studies, conducted in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices , assess the impact of pharmaceuticals on biological tissues and living animals, mimicking anticipated human exposure routes. Eurofins BPT, based in Jacksonville, FL, supports both toxicology and clinical trial material (CTM) requirements by preparing scaled-down batches using formulations and processes akin to finished products. In San Diego, CA, Eurofins BPT employs a state-of-the-art fill-finish facility with a gloveless, robotic isolator for sterile CTM filling, ensuring optimal sterility through real-time data monitoring and minimizing contamination risks.
Molecular Properties of PROTACs and the Relationship to Formulation Design
December 20th 2024Analyzation of a diverse set of PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras – a class of TPDs) structures and their calculated properties, identifying key structure-property trends that contribute to low oral bioavailability.
Clinical Supply Planning in Europe - Balancing Cost, Flexibility and Time
December 19th 2024The packaging and distribution of clinical supplies is a fundamental piece to the overall success of a clinical trial, and advance preparation can help establish a more efficient supply chain. Selecting the best geographical location for those activities, however, depends on the clinical trial protocol, business decisions, and even the investigational medicinal product (IMP) being studied.
