Dr Rudolf Hausmann, VP Technical Development & Operations, Santhera Pharmaceuticals
ABSTRACT
During development, launch and commercialization, there are a number of time-critical and cost-driving technical development & manufacturing steps which impact the progress and costs of the overall development program throughout all clinical phases and regulatory processes up to commercialization of a pharmaceutical product. This presentation is illustrating where critical technical development & manufacturing activities impact the overall timelines and ultimately "speed to market" and provides some examples with the focus on collaboration of small to medium size Pharma companies with contract development & manufacturing organisations (CDMO).
