Overview of Mikart's CDMO services, such as controlled substance formulations, oral solids & non-sterile liquid dosage forms on PharmaCompass.Q. What is a pharmaceutical CDMO?A pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) is a company that provides drug development and manufacturing services on contractual basis. A contract development and manufacturing organization not only manages the outsourced production of drug substances and products, but also manages all of the research and development activities that occur before drug product manufacturing.The demand for contract development and manufacturing organizations has gone up due to the complexities and considerations brought on by the increasingly unique finished formulations in the market. Because of this reason, many pharmaceutical companies are outsourcing their drug product development and manufacturing requirements to CDMOs.The CDMO industry offers opportunities such as technological advancements, new operational techniques, higher company values and high profitability. Pharma companies hire CDMOs so that they can focus more on the primary attributes of their projects.The pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) sector is promptly addressing the challenges within the industry. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly relying on CDMOs to gain access to specialized expertise, control costs and considerably speed up the successful formulation development through clinical trials and commercial production.The CDMO industry offers opportunities such as technological advancements, new operational techniques, higher company values and high profitability. Pharma companies hire CDMOs so that they can focus more on the primary attributes of their projects.Q. What are the different services offered by pharmaceutical CDMOs?With the global pharma industry growing at a fast pace, big pharmaceutical companies are continuing to focus on their core business. With their promise of decreasing time to market and reducing costs, contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) have positioned themselves as alternatives to in-house development and manufacturing operations.The pharma companies are also seizing at this opportunity to outsource drug development to the CDMOs. The majority of formulations that pharma companies continue to outsource to CDMOs are solid dosage forms.Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) offer their clients comprehensive services from drug development to manufacturing. The CDMOs offer integral services that include projects from external third parties and make use of their knowledge, development and manufacturing capabilities.With preformulation, formulation development services, clinical trials and commercial manufacturing, CDMO such as Mikart can start with a concept or a ready-to-use formula.CDMO companies offer services such as formulation, analytical services, blending, coating, converting, packaging, serialization and shipment. Full-service pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (full-service CDMO) such as Mikart can manage every aspect of formulation development and manufacturing.CDMOs will have several opportunities to grow in the near future. Big pharmaceutical companies are embracing outsourcing services as a strategic method to speed up their drug development timelines.Q. What are the benefits that contract development and manufacturing organizations offer to pharmaceutical companies?Formulation development and manufacturing is a complex process, and partnering with the right pharmaceutical CDMO (contract development and manufacturing organization) will help pharma companies through all stages of drug development and formulation.Pharmaceutical companies are relying more and more on contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) for different complex and novel formulation development and manufacturing. Outsourcing has become a market trend across the pharmaceutical manufacturing landscape. By choosing the right CDMO partner, pharma companies can avert delays and pitfalls.Contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) provide several benefits to pharmaceutical companies, such as:Technical Expertise : Pharma CDMOs have the technical expertise and technological and operational know-how to meet the needs of formulation development projects. Finding a CDMO with the right experience in different formulation technologies can also help a company to develop and manufacture a number of drug products. Many CDMOs can even provide nanotechnology, which is needed to solve some difficult formulation challenges.Experience : Experience is the most important factor in determining whether a manufacturing partner is capable of delivering the quality and scale required to ensure the success of a project. Full-service CDMOs and CMOs have a remarkable depth of experience and specialization in drug product development and manufacturing. CDMOs assess a compound's physical and chemical properties, evaluate the drug and its intended target site and recognize the drug's uptake.Quality : Quality should always be the most important factor one should consider while selecting a pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization. CDMO such as Mikart are relatively economical and provide better quality products in higher quantities, at a faster rate and at lower costs. The focus of a pharmaceutical CDMO is always on pricing and factors that contribute to high quality, such as drug product manufacturing capacity, experience, reputation, technical competency, etc.Manufacturing Facilities : Outsourcing services to a contract development and manufacturing organization gives companies access to a larger number of equipment and facilities. There are various pharmaceutical companies that rely on outsourced facilities. This has provided the CDMO market the chance to grow and pharma companies the opportunity to avoid expenses associated with purchasing specialized equipment.For instance, If you are looking for the production of complex injectables, you should choose a CDMO that has equipment scale and material handling expertise with the preferred product batch size. Facilities should be assessed for class 100 clean room suites, laminar flow hoods, biosafety cabinets, etc. In addition, the CDMO must follow current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), which is necessary for compliance with regulatory guidelines.Speed : CDMOs generally offer better quality products in higher quantities, faster and at lower costs. A CDMO's value proposition to customers includes speed as a major aspect, and the key to optimized scalability is to maintain the correct pace for the exact product and quantity.Scalability : CDMOs are well known for their ability to provide scale-up for pharmaceutical companies. Due to their ability to scale up production without adding expenses of labor, facility space, etc, CDMOs and CMOs help pharma companies in meeting production deadlines.Cost-Effectiveness : Pharmaceutical CDMOs not only help companies to meet deadlines and scale up faster, but they also reduce infrastructure costs by lowering or removing the need for additional production. To control expenses, CDMOs should be used to influence procedure methodical testing counting in-machine inspections, verifications and non-destructive testing.The knowledge of an experienced CMO / CDMO partner and their advanced technologies often helps pharma companies in controlling costs during early stage drug development, while working on a very aggressive but realistic timeline.Q.
