MIT Survey Aims to Correlate Product Lifecycle and Manufacturing Site Characteristics with Product Deviations

In the September PharmTech issue, researchers from MIT’s Center for Biomedical Innovation (CBI) describe the interim results from recent research into 34 commercial-scale biopharmaceutical products at 11 international sites. The comprehensive survey on topics related to site characteristics, quality approaches, quality activities, perception of relative consistency of regulators, product-level process details, and product-level compliance performance was deployed over the past 18 months as a secure web-based questionnaire directly to biopharmaceutical manufacturing sites through several different channels. The individuals targeted for inclusion as survey respondents have been manufacturing plant managers or their representatives.

Read the interim results and if you haven’t yet, the survey can be taken on behalf of a biomanufacturing site usin this link.
