Recro to Expand its Clinical Trial Services Offerings

Recro Pharma, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), announced on June 2, 2021 that it has expanded the clinical capabilities of its clinical trial services (CTS) offerings.

The added capabilities include clinical-scale sachet and blister packaging for clinical trial pharmaceuticals and a relationship with a European Union Qualified Person (QP) for its CTS offerings, the company said in a press release. Based on an audit completed by the QP, Recro meets the relevant GMP manufacturing standards and requirements for clinical trial materials to be used in the European Union.

“While our addition of CTS offerings is not yet a year old, it has already provided opportunities for our existing clients to expand their scope of work with Recro, as well as serving as a gateway for attracting new customers. This is highlighted by the fact that our recent expansion of packaging services has played an important role in increased client interest and attracting new business,” said Scott Rizzo, senior vice-president and general manager of Recro, in the press release. “In addition to the growing traction of the CTS offerings in the US, we are now positioned to carry momentum into the European market based on the successful QP audit. Taken together, these expanded capabilities will allow us to continue the positive trajectory for our CTS offerings, which typically have the benefit of a shorter sales and earnings cycle, as they become a more meaningful contributor to the overall growth of Recro.”
