Biologics manufacturers have been successful boosting yields and increasing throughput in upstream mAbs production. Those increased volumes create a new challenge: scaling downstream process chromatography to be as productive. This Avantor white paper details how technologies such as a novel protein A chromatography resin and the use of additives can improve efficiencies in this complex process step. The white paper also explores the benefits of expanding single-use and continuous processing systems to further streamline downstream production and improve cost profiles.
The FDA opened an expedited IND pilot, tightened scrutiny of foreign trial data, and finalized a rule recognizing non-animal testing methods. In Europe, the EMA advanced pharmaceutical legislation reform, restricted 2 legacy products, and opened an injectable-iron safety review.
