Embracing a Proactive Approach: What it Takes to Offer Patient-Centric CDMO Solutions
In today’s world, where customization is essential, patients have a growing expectation for accessible and comfortable medication. We are witnessing a shift in drug delivery systems, with pharmaceutical companies developing at-home delivery devices that utilize pre-filled syringes or cartridges. By collaborating closely with the Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) that fills the primary container, pharmaceutical companies can leverage the CDMO’s specialized knowledge in manufacturing for drug delivery technologies.
Working with drug delivery companies early in the process to refine the unique sizes and configurations of primary containers enhances the functionality of the delivery devices, whether they are on-body delivery systems (OBDS), autoinjectors, or pens. Collaboration also accelerates component qualifications on the CDMO’s filling line. This proactive approach helps bring products to market faster and aligns with patient expectations of safe at-home administration. By keeping the patient at the forefront of discussions among those involved and remaining agile to modifications, we can ensure that patient usability solutions remain top of mind.
Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing (GRAM) has partnered with drug delivery experts to provide filling services for the syringe, cartridge, or vial used in on-body devices, autoinjectors, or pens. The collaboration confirms that GRAM can fill the container with the components needed for their device. Yet, there is more to a project’s success than collaboration. We look at what else it takes to offer patient-centric CDMO solutions, including:
- A Team Focused on the Patient
- The Right Competencies
- Equipped with Technology
- Building a Sustainable Future
