In the realm of complex biologics development, the integration of Quality by Design (QbD) not only assures product quality but also emerges as a powerful driver for cost reduction and accelerated timelines. A systematic approach to development in biopharma, it emphasizes the integration of quality evaluation at every step, ensuring the production of safer and more effective drugs while optimizing resources. Unlike traditional post-production testing, Quality by Design proactively identifies and adjusts critical parameters and factors involved in development. This brief discussion explores the pivotal role of QbD in achieving these dual objectives. Determining quality target product profile and critical quality attribute is a key to a successful and efficient development. It is important to define quality target product profile (QTPP) and critical quality attributes (CQA) of the product as soon as possible during the development stage. If well defined, the Quality by Design approach will help address issues early in the product development process and prevent failures than will lead to additional cost and delay during advanced stages of the project. At Biodextris, we encourage and guide our client through Quality by Design process to ensure quality, cost optimization and timeline efficiency. Efficiency through Attribute Optimization and precise process control: Quality by Design enables a targeted optimization of critical product quality attributes, streamlining development efforts and reducing the need for extensive trial and error. By enhancing process understanding and control, QbD minimizes variations and deviations in complex biologics production. This precision and efficiency not only ensure consistent product quality but also accelerates the development timeline by avoiding delays associated with troubleshooting and rework. Risk Mitigation for Cost-Efficient Development: Quality by Design systematically identifies and mitigates risks early in the development process. This proactive risk management not only safeguards against potential setbacks but also contributes to cost efficiency by preventing the need for costly corrections later in the development cycle. Regulatory Compliance for Timely Approvals and Adaptability for Faster Life Cycle Management Well defined QbD attributes aligns with regulatory expectations, ensuring that the development process is well-documented and compliant. This adherence expedites regulatory approvals, reducing the time and resources required for navigating the approval process. Furthermore, Quality by Design's emphasis on continuous improvement allows for swift adaptation to changes throughout the product's life cycle. This adaptability reduces the time and costs associated with implementing updates or modifications post-launch. For Biodextris, Quality by Design is not only a quality assurance framework but also a strategic ally for reducing costs and accelerating timelines in the development of complex biologics as well as decrease regulatory compliance risks by building product knowledge and understanding. Its systematic approach, from attribute optimization to risk mitigation and formulation efficiency, positions QbD as an indispensable tool for achieving cost-effective and timely success in the competitive landscape of all biologic products development, especially for Complex Biologics. Contact us to see how Biodextris and Quality by Design can help you bring your innovation to life and follow our next newsletters for more details the QbD tools we use to improve your projects.

In the landscape of the biopharmaceutical industry, the partnership between a biopharma sponsor and its biologics Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (biologics CDMO) has become more than a simple business arrangement and has transformed into a strategic collaboration characterized by flexibility and adaptability. Historically, biopharma companies have had to contract very large projects out to biologics CDMO meaning they would commit large financial and organisational resources, which did not always match investment cycles. Today, the industry and its biopharma CDMOs are recognizing the benefits of segmenting projects and costs, aligning them with funding phases and thus optimizing resources while fostering innovation. Biodextris: at the heart of a multi-expertise CDMO organization With extensive development and manufacturing capacities, biologics CDMO Biodextris has accompanied this change with strong, project-based partnerships with the biopharma industry. As part of the Clean Biologics group , Biodextris is also at the heart of a multi-expertise organization, thus enhancing the capacity to coordinate overall biopharma CDMO capacities while keeping a segmented approach. Aligning organisational resources with funding cycles to mitigate risk and foster innovation Biopharma projects typically go through several funding cycles, covering discovery and R&D, clinical trials and commercialization, and which require support from biopharma CDMOs and CROs. This includes sometimes long analytical, development and biomanufacturing phases requiring a sizable financial commitment. A flexible approach to biologics CDMO collaboration aligns costs with these funding phases ensuring that financial resources are used efficiently. Additionally, this strategy contributes to overall risk mitigation: the development cycle of a biopharma substance is rife with uncertainties, including regulatory changes, market dynamics, and technical advancements. Flexibility in biologics CDMO partnerships allows biopharma companies to adapt to these pitfalls and hurdles more efficiently. With a keen understanding of the biopharma dynamics and its privileged position within a biologics CDMO group, Biodextris optimizes resources for sponsors by reducing organisational burdens: this leaves our partners with more time and resources for their core and strategic activities including discovery, R&D and business development.

Boston, MA, June 5, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Calder Biosciences Inc., a molecular engineering and clinical manufacturing-stage biotechnology company pioneering its 3D-Vaxlockä platform technology to engineer and develop novel protein subunit vaccines, today announced a clinical supply agreement with Biodextris Inc.
