“We’ve quadrupled our production and added new customers during the pandemic”
This week, Ilan Avni, Vice President, Business Development, Wavelength Pharmaceuticals is back on SpeakPharma. He talks about Wavelength’s imminent merger with SEQENS (slated to close later this year), the company’s performance during the pandemic and its various interesting technological capabilities, such as those in enzymatic chemistry, spray drying and particle engineering solutions. In particular, Avni talks about how the merger with SEQENS will make Wavelength a global leader in the API and CDMO space with 22 production sites and 10 R&D centers across the world. — A year back, we had discussed how Wavelength’s investments in its supply chain has helped the company during the pandemic. Where do things stand today? How has the market changed? Reflecting on the past year and the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, I can say with confidence that our many years of investment in supply chain assurance has paid off. Not only have we been able to reliably supply critical drugs to our customers during the global crisis, we were also able to quadruple our production and supply to many additional new customers and territories, where other players did not have the capability to deliver. Times are changing — more and more pharmaceutical manufacturers and governments are coming to the conclusion that reliable supply is a critical investment for long-term sustainable growth. — How is Wavelength’s merger with SEQENS (slated to close later this year) likely to benefit the company? Do you expect Wavelength’s global standing and market share in the API CDMO space to improve considerably? We are extremely excited about the upcoming merger with SEQENS. We share the same values, focus on quality, regulatory compliance, and exceptional customer service. The merger will create a global leader in the API and CDMO space with 22 production sites and 10 R&D centers across the world, and a backward-integrated leader offering a broader portfolio of generic APIs and intermediates as well as custom development and manufacturing services across a wide range of added complementary pharmaceutical technologies.    — Wavelength has some interesting technologies. What capabilities have you developed in enzymatic chemistry? And what is Wavelength’s strength in this field? Enzymatic chemistry is an incredibly powerful tool for organic synthesis. It increases conversion efficiency for significantly higher yields with fewer by-products, equating to faster and more cost-effective production. This is largely due to its superior enantio-, regio-, and stereoselectivity under milder conditions, compared to using conventional metal catalysts. We have recently completed validation of a new commercial scale enzymatic process for a leading high-volume type 2 diabetes product with results by far superior to any other process in the market. Our customers are getting ready for commercial launch, and we are confident our product is going to provide them with a game changing advantage in this highly competitive market.   We already have several additional products in our pipeline developed using enzymatic chemistry and I believe that with SEQENS’ expertise in developing new tailor-made enzymes and with Wavelength’s expertise in scaling up such processes, we are going to see many more of these products in the market in the very near future. — Tell us about Wavelength’s strength in spray drying. How have customers benefitted from your capabilities? Low aqueous solubility of APIs often translates into poor bioavailability that can be a cause of failure during drug development. As such, improved aqueous solubility is a primary objective of formulation development, especially for oral, inhaled, and topical drugs. The number of poorly soluble small molecule drugs has significantly increased over the years and the demand for spray drying capacity is on the rise. Production slots are booked well in advance, creating bottlenecks that threaten to prolong time-to-market. Wavelength has more than 30 years of proven track record in spray drying and we continue to invest in particle engineering technologies, including current and next-generation spray drying technologies to address solubility and bioavailability challenges for a broad range of therapeutics. We believe this is one of the advanced skills an experienced API CDMO should be able to offer to its customers, especially those looking to develop BCS Class 2 (low solubility and high permeability) and BCS Class 4 (low solubility and low permeability) drugs. — What additional particle engineering solutions have you developed and how is Wavelength using these technologies to solve drug design challenges? We have in-house expertise in various micronization techniques, both for high volume APIs as well as corticosteroids and other highly potent APIs up to OEB5 (OEL<1 μg/m3). Our unique micronization equipment can reduce particle size from 5mm to <5μm in a single pass using ultra-low energy technology with minimum mechanical or heat impact. Therefore, there is no impact on crystalline properties or increase in amorphous content, which is a huge advantage.  Wavelength has been supplying various inhalation grade APIs for dry powder inhalers and metered dose nasals for more than 20 years now and many of our customers have selected Wavelength for particle design expertise, although they have the same API produced in-house.   — Are there any new technologies you are looking to implement in the near future? Our CDMO business is expanding very rapidly. We continue to focus on complex chemistry and are moving into GMP production of oligonucleotides. We see more and more therapeutic oligonucleotides reaching the market, offering effective treatment to many unmet needs.  These are quite large and extremely complex molecules, though still considered “small molecules” from a regulatory perspective. Processes include multiple synthesis steps, protection, cleavage and de-protection, purification, ultrafiltration and lyophilization, which are very much aligned with our manufacturing track record and also a perfect match with our complex analytics expertise. We already have six novel oligonucleotides being tech transferred to commercial scale GMP production, so we are extremely excited about this new field and are looking forward to further expand production capacity to support our customers’ demand. .

CDMO Activity Tracker: Novo’s parent buys Catalent for US$ 16.5 bn; Fujifilm, Merck KGaA, Axplora expand capabilities
During the first half (H1) of 2024, the global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) landscape was driven by the escalating demand for complex drug development and manufacturing.With the industry grappling with constantly evolving therapeutic modalities, CDMOs are racing to invest in cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure to meet the growing needs of pharmaceutical and biotech companies.Some of the key players in the CDMO space are Catalent, EUROAPI, Lonza, Axplora, Thermo Fisher, SEQENS, Samsung Biologics, Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, Quotient Sciences, Famar, LGM Pharma, Veranova, and Evonik.View CDMO Activity Tracker for H1 2024 (Free Excel Available) Novo’s parent buys Catalent for US$ 16.5 bn; Bora, Lonza, Siegfried expand US footprintDuring H1 2024, several European and Asian drugmakers expanded their footprints in the US. In February, Novo Nordisk’s parent company, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, announced the acquisition of Catalent through its investment arm Novo Holdings for US$ 16.5 billion. Novo Holdings plans to sell three of Catalent’s “fill-finish” sites to Novo Nordisk for US$ 11 billion. The deal is expected to allow the Danish drugmaker “to serve significantly more people living with diabetes and obesity,” a company statement said.Taiwan-headquartered Bora Pharmaceuticals forged ahead with its expansion plans in the US market by acquiring Minnesota-based generics manufacturer Upsher-Smith Laboratories. Emergent BioSolutions said it is selling its Maryland facility to an affiliate of Bora. This site in Camden is part of its CDMO, Emergent Bioservices, and offers clinical and commercial non-viral aseptic fill/finish services on four fill lines, including lyophilization, formulation development, and support services.Swiss drugmaker Lonza has agreed to acquire Genentech’s manufacturing facility in California, US, from Roche for US$ 1.2 billion in cash. The site, located in the city of Vacaville, is one of the largest biologics manufacturing facilities in the world by volume.Lonza also launched an artificial intelligence-driven route design technology for choosing the optimal synthetic pathway to manufacture novel APIs.Switzerland’s Siegfried is acquiring a Wisconsin (US)-based CDMO that specializes in early-phase development and manufacturing services from Curia Global to strengthen its capabilities in North America. Siegfried will further develop the site into its North American Siegfried Acceleration Hub for early-phase CDMO services.View CDMO Activity Tracker for H1 2024 (Free Excel Available)  Merck Millipore, SK Bioscience lead CGT boom; Fujifilm, Axplora, expand CDMO capabilitiesThe burgeoning field of cell and gene therapies (CGTs) is driving significant investments in CDMOs. CGTs saw considerable deal-making too. Merck KGaA agreed to buy Wisconsin-based Mirus Bio for US$ 600 million. Mirus Bio is a specialist in the development and commercialization of transfection reagents that are used to help introduce genetic material into cells. These reagents play a key role in the production of viral vectors for CGTs.Similarly, South Korea’s SK Bioscience acquired a 60 percent stake in IDT Biologika GmbH for KRW 339 billion (US$ 244 million). IDT Biologika is a 104-year-old German company that ranks among the top 10 vaccine producers in the world.CDMOs are also expanding their capabilities in order to lead innovation for their pharmaceutical partners. Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies is investing US$ 1.2 billion in its large-scale cell culture CDMO business to further expand its end-to-end bio-manufacturing facility in North Carolina, bringing the total investment in the facility to over US$ 3.2 billion. Similarly, Merck KGaA owned MilliporeSigma made its biggest investment in the Asia-Pacific region in March when it invested € 300 million (US$ 327 million) in a new bioprocessing production center in Daejeon, South Korea.German CDMO giant Axplora is investing € 8 million (US$ 8.73 million) to expand capacity for antibody drug conjugate (ADC) payload manufacturing at its Le Mans site in France. Catalent completed upgrades to its capsule filling capabilities of dry powders for inhalation to handle potent drugs at its Boston facility. This now positions Catalent as the CDMO with the largest GMP capacity for capsule spray-dried and carrier-based inhaled powders.LGM Pharma increased its Analytical Testing Services (ATS) by 50 percent with a US$ 2 million investment and introduced new suppository manufacturing capabilities to its CDMO portfolio. Minakem has invested in a new production unit in Montreal, Canada, for steroid APIs.View CDMO Activity Tracker for H1 2024 (Free Excel Available)  EUROAPI kicks off four-year sweeping plan; LegoChem partners Samsung Biologics for ADC programSanofi’s spinoff EUROAPI marked 2024 as a “transition year”, setting in motion its Focus-27 plan for profitable growth in the future. The sweeping four-year plan includes a streamlined value-added portfolio focused on highly differentiated and profitable APIs, and a CDMO focused on late-stage and high-value complex small molecules and tides supported by unique technological platforms. The leading French small molecules player signed a five-year collaboration with Ireland’s Priothera wherein EUROAPI will develop and industrialize the manufacturing process of an innovative, complex molecule for blood cancers – mocravimod. The project will be carried out at EUROAPI’s site in Budapest, which is its center of excellence for complex chemistry.South Korea’s CDMO powerhouse Samsung Biologics has partnered LegoChem Biosciences and will provide antibody development and drug substance manufacturing services as a part of LegoChem’s ADC program designed to treat solid tumors. LegoChem aims to submit an investigational new drug application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first half of 2025. Aurigene and Vipergen have joined forces to offer DNA-encoded library (DEL) screening for drug discovery. By combining Aurigene’s drug discovery capabilities with Vipergen’s DEL screening technologies, they seek to create a powerful tool that can quickly test over a billion small-molecule compounds against different disease targets. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories’ company Aurigene also inaugurated its biologics facility spread across 70,000 square feet.Chinese biotech startup Pleryon is collaborating with France’s SEQENS, a leader in specialty ingredients, to develop and manufacture the former’s lead candidate, an innovative polymer to treat osteoarthritis. Famar is collaborating with Lavipharm and will serve as the contract manufacturer for the latter’s recently added analgesic pharmaceutical products — Lonarid N and Lonalgal.View CDMO Activity Tracker for H1 2024 (Free Excel Available)  Our view Key trends observed in H1 2024 include a surge in investments for fill-finish facilities, a growing emphasis on cell and gene therapies, and advancements in ADC manufacturing. With the proliferation of these new classes of drugs, the CDMO space has been rapidly changing in recent years. In the future, the integration of digital technologies, such as AI and automation, will be a key differentiator for CDMOs looking to optimize their operations and accelerate drug development timelines.
