If you’re in the business of pharmaceutical product development or manufacturing for the US market, this brief talk by Dr. Richard Sidwell is for you. The need for pharmaceutical products is higher than ever. At the same time, the ability to develop and supply new products is being constrained by demographics, geopolitics, energy, and inflation. This is why it’s more important than ever to strategically invest in CMC development and engineering, onshoring, and thoughtful supply chain design. Dr. Sidwell discusses recent trends in drug product development and manufacturing given the current demographic, geopolitical, and macroeconomic trends.
The Role of On-Demand Manufacturing and Derisking in Accelerating Early Clinical Trial Success
June 4th 2025Small pharmaceutical companies are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline early clinical trials. Adaptive clinical trials offer important benefits to sponsors and patients, both from a commercial and ethical standpoint. These trials offer flexibility and efficiency, especially in the early stages, where trial protocols can be adjusted based on interim data, such as introducing new doses or modifying participant sample size. However, adjusting manufacturing demand during an adaptive trial can be complicated, and strict regulatory requirements present significant challenges. On-demand manufacturing provides a robust solution, allowing for real-time supply and demand adjustments and improved trial flexibility. This paper explores how on-demand manufacturing meets the operational needs of adaptive trials and aligns with regulatory expectations.
