Today, the pharmaceutical industry emits more greenhouse gases globally than the automotive sector, equating to about 48.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide for every $1m generated. Every single stage of the pharmaceutical supply chain has a carbon footprint, from the moment raw materials are sourced, to the energy-intensive processes in building molecules, and all the way to shipping packaged products to hospitals and pharmacy shelves.

EU GMP Annex 1 requirements for Manufacture of Sterile Medicinal Products were revised in August 2022, starting the clock for compliance by August 2023. Anna Cluet of Rephine offers some practical steps to address the requirements relating to Contamination Control Strategy (CCS), reducing the possibility of human contamination, and ensuring quality throughput the product lifecycle.
In August 2022, revised EU GMP Annex 1 requirements related to the Manufacture of Sterile Medicinal Products were issued, starting the clock for compliance. All but one of the new provisions must be fulfilled by August 2023. The updated requirements, designed to protect and increase confidence in the sterility of these products, are significant and wide-ranging, spanning the Quality system and the manufacturing p…

Since 2020, market disruption created by COVID-19 has primed every aspect of the pharma industry for change: something that they have been reluctant to do in the decades previous. Today, with more crises potentially awaiting around the corner, there is an openness across the pharmaceutical world to embrace new technologies with a sense of urgency. Here are five important ways technology and automation can support pharma companies with mitigating increased complexity and seizing opportunities.

As the life science industry continues to embrace more flexible ways of working, you may find yourself managing a team of hybrid or remote workers. As hybrid and remote working come with their own set of both challenges and opportunities, these ways of working also require a very different managerial approach.

Bachem, the Swiss pharmaceutical company, invested in a capacity expansion for large-scale production of oligonucleotide active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Each step within the company’s oligonucleotide manufacturing process uses unique, innovative equipment to deliver the highest-quality products and to increase sustainability. Tailor-made oligonucleotide synthesisers To ensure only the highest-quality oligonucleotide is supplied to customers, Bachem designed a large-scale oligonucleotide synthesiser. This synthesiser optimises the process of oligonucleotide synthesis and has been qualified for GMP batches from a 0.2 mol to 2 mol scale. One of the engineering solutions used for the innovative synthesiser is in-line mixing of dichloroacetic acid (DCA) and toluene. This solution is u…

Health actors can draw on the contributions of interdisciplinarity, big data and modelling to improve their foresight capacities alongside the public authorities.
The pharmaceutical industries are naturally at the forefront of scientific innovation and emergency treatments, rather than of long-term intelligence and monitoring activities. This is further evidenced by the very short period of time – less than a year – that elapsed between discovery of the first cases of an unknown disease in Wuhan and the roll-out of the large-scale vaccine campaign. The scope and complexity of prospective phenomena – over and above their scientific and logistical components – requires the pooling of intelligence and anticipation by combining a range of expertise and talent, and this cannot be left to…

In recent years, governments worldwide have emphasised the need to shift towards a circular economy for packaging, with a particular focus on phasing out single-use, virgin, and unrecyclable plastics and exploring options for reusable products and refillable packaging. Many brands have also established ambitious commitments to make their packaging more sustainable by 2025. More than 500 organisations have signed up to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment.

Product-level serialisation has historically been associated with compliance mandates within highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and tobacco. Its central premise was to prevent counterfeit goods from entering these markets. However, as organisations within these sectors have realised, having full traceability within the supply chain offers benefits beyond compliance alone, providing opportunities for greater visibility, data exchange, and more.

Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives (Reps) are employed by pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or healthcare companies to sell their pharmaceutical products to external stakeholders, e.g., physicians. Rather than making direct sales, they are tasked with influencing and educating these stakeholders on the company’s products, acting as a reliable information source and the key bridge between the companies and healthcare professionals (HCPs).

EMA’s latest shift in its IDMP implementation guidance has been well documented. At the coal face, it’s causing all kinds of confusion as pharma companies try to figure out what they should do now. At Amplexor Life Sciences’ BE THE EXPERT 2022, K2 Consulting’s Kelly Hnat drew on her ‘insider’ knowledge as an active participant in the EMA SPOR Task Force and member of the EMA PMS Process Focus Group, to provide some welcome clarity.
As most Regulatory teams know well, EMA has made some last-minute adjustments to its EU IDMP implementation plan, meaning that the Digital Application Dataset Integration Project (DADI) interface rather than FHIR will serve as the means for making data submissions - at least initially - once these become mandatory just under a year from now. To many, the move may…

At Amplexor Life Sciences’ BE THE EXPERT 2022 conference, Dr. Thierry Dietrich of pharm@dviser, discussed the different levels of cloud use and the best approaches to ensuring compliance in each case, as regulators pay closer attention to cloud-based data management.
As pharmaceutical companies become more confident and ambitious in their use of the cloud to host, run and source applications, more recently extending the model to regulated applications, important considerations arise - particularly around associated systems validation and data governance.

Whenever a foreign substance is introduced into the body, there will be a chance of rejection or having an adverse reaction. This reaction is the risk taken when trusting the pharmaceuticals that we have come to rely on for our wellness. We need these drugs, but sometimes other circumstances tell us otherwise.

Centred Solutions Sales and Marketing Director, Louise Laban, gives her view on the current consultation into hub and spoke dispensing and questions some of the information included in the associated impact assessment.
“The second long awaited consultation on proposed changes to UK legislation to allow all community pharmacies to access hub and spoke dispensing is finally underway. Six years on from the original consultation, there remains speculation within the pharmacy market that the proposals may allow larger chains with automated hubs to charge smaller chains and independent pharmacies for “prescription assembly services” leading to an erosion of profits that cannot be recouped by any amount of patient facing services. Unfortunately the impact assessment into hub and spoke published by…
