Demand for Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs) is growing strongly, driven by a strong clinical pipeline in the oncology field.
Due to their high pharmacological activity, the development and manufacturing of HPAPIs requires specialized high containment facilities operated by experienced personnel, a strong HSE culture and regulatory expertise, to ensure the safety of both patients and employees.
By nature, HPAPIs are often complex molecules needing special care and specialized technologies for multi-step synthesis and purification. The recent development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has created new challenges for HPAPI manufacturers.
In this webinar, we will speak about the factors to consider for safe Highly Potent API handling, from development to scale-up and manufacturing, through some case studies based on our extensive experience in the ADC field (payloads and bioconjugation).
Why should you attend this webinar?
In this webinar, you will learn more about risk-based approach throughout HPAPIs manufacturing to ensure occupational safety and to deliver safe product for the patients.
