All the biopharmaceutical companies must follow respective nation’s laws or regulations in order to develop, manufacture and sale their pharmaceutical products. Before any biopharmaceutical product goes in to market, it has to get marketing authorization from the relevant health authorities. Market authorization is issued on the basis of an assessment of submitted information that describes the quality, safety and efficacy of the product for a specified indication. Applicants and manufacturers often implement changes in the product, production process, quality controls, equipment, facilities, responsible personnel, or labeling estab…

Whatever the industry, digital transformation creates an opportunity for teams to connect to the fuller insights they need, on demand – which in turn can help to drive substantial improvements to productivity, accuracy and efficiency. One of the main potential beneficiaries of improved information management in life sciences is Regulatory Affairs – a department which must prepare and manage data ad infinitum, to keep products on the market. Here, ProductLife Group’s Erick Gaussens sets out three persuasive reasons why RA teams should champion the digital trans…

Learning the microbead lesson
A UK-wide prohibition on the use of plastic microbeads came into effect in 2018, but what fundamental lessons can we learn from this high profile case? Dr Rachael Benstead, senior aquatic ecotoxicologist at translational science and research organisation, Fera Science Ltd. explains all.   Figures from The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) suggest that an estimated 680 tonnes of microbeads are used in cosmetic products every year. These tiny pieces of plastic, used for exfoliation in rinse-off products such as toothpastes, face scrubs and shower gels, inevitably end up contaminating the environment.   With particle sizes varying from 10 micrometers up to 1 millimetre, microbeads are the same size as much of the organic…
Preclinical IPOs: Is the window starting to close?
A record-breaking year is on the cards, as biotechnology companies continue the trend of pre-clinical initial public offerings (IPOs). As of July, six young firms had raised almost $800million through their IPOs, despite none having permission from regulators to start clinical trials in humans.[1] These companies are now generating significant returns. For example, the most recent preclinical IPO by Gritstone Oncology Inc was initially valued at $100 million, and as of 12 December 2018 has a market value of $731 million.1 Pre-clinical valuations Traditionally, there are two good times for biotech companies to go public: right after proof or concept in humans or upon the publication of promising, pivotal data.  But these pre-clinical…
~ Unpacking the potential of smart packaging ~ One of the biggest challenges for manufacturers of consumable goods is how to extend product shelf life while ensuring safety. Over the past hundred years, the food and beverage industry has invested billions of pounds in researching suitable packaging, but what can the pharmaceutical industry learn from this?
Here, Dale Pittock, sales director of pharmacy consumables provider Valley Northern, explores the latest developments in the smart packaging market. Imagine if a packet of antibiotics could tell a patient whether it had been opened and which pill had been taken and at what time. Then, imagine if things could be taken a step further and the medication could alert patients when it was time to take the next one, then feed this informati…
~ Pharmacy and healthcare supplier releases advisory whitepaper ~
Leading pharmacy and healthcare consumables supplier, Valley Northern, has released its latest whitepaper, exploring the increasing issue of patient non-adherence. The whitepaper, which can be downloaded directly from the Valley Northern website, looks at why non-adherence is an issue and how those across the healthcare industry can help to tackle it. Download the whitepaper here: Valley Northern Downloads.Across the United Kingdom, one billion items are prescribed and dispensed by pharmacists every year. However, one in five patients surveyed as part of a recent industry report admitted to not taking their medication as prescribed. The issue of patient non-adherence is a big issue, particularly when patients try to take thei…
How technology at an operational level is the driving force behind innovative pharmaceutical businesses
The global pharmaceutical industry is often held up as an example of a sector that exists on the cutting edge of what is possible. But that doesn’t mean that it can avoid its own tech disruption.Digitalisation - the process of moving to digital business processes and away from legacy and paper-based ones -  is changing the pharmaceutical industry just as it is changing many others. One seemingly simple, yet business-critical change will be in how companies collect, share and analyse data, with the result that digitalisation will have a radical effect on how products and processes are audited.When a consumer buys aspirin, paracetamol or any of the thousands of over-the-counter medic…
Neo4j’s Emil Eifrem takes a look at how life science researchers can use graph databases to get granular insight from big data and make real advances in research
Neo4j’s Emil Eifrem takes a look at how life science researchers can use graph databases to get granular insight from big data and make real advances in researchBig data, defined as large complex data sets, has the potential to throw light onto every link in the life sciences value chain, which is why data mining has become so important to researchers – but having the right technology is key to its success.Traditional database tools, namely SQL and relational database technology, find the volume as well as the unstructured nature of these complex datasets extremely difficult to work with. Why? Because they model the world as a set…
How Finance 4.0 can deliver cutting-edge technology to the pharmaceutical industry
The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly making use of modern digitalised technology to automate specific processes in drug development, testing and manufacturing, one UK based company predicts they will be able to commercialise printed tablets (using 3D printing) within the next 5 to 10 years.[1] New techniques such as personalised medicine, where the care and treatment of patients moves away from a ‘one size fits all’ approach and instead uses diagnostics, genomics and data analytics to identify the underlying cause of disease, have encouraged a wave of activity in the biotech sector, with several companies now offering a range of complex gene editing services.[2]Similarly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) i…
Managing translations for submissions in regulatory affairs – what is best practice?
Managing translations for submissions in regulatory affairs – what is best practice? Few heads of regulatory affairs would dispute the complexity of compliance and regulation in the life sciences industry. Changing regulations puts greater pressure on regulatory professionals and makes the job of translating content for submissions ever more difficult, while the pressure to decrease time-to-market for life-saving new drug therapies grows all the time. Regulations change so frequently in countries all the time, that there is an almost constant re-evaluation as to what is needed to be included in dossiers and what parts of the dossier require translation. Given such challenges, whether handling translations f…

Clinical Research – Quo Vadis?
Clinical Research – Quo Vadis?In recent times we began observing a significant acceleration of technology development which aims at improving the quality and speed of clinical trials as well as lowering the costs of it.It would seem that moving from simple paper digitalization to IoE (Internet of Everything) and Big Data will reduce the demand for qualified on-site CRA workforce. But will it? And would it completely wipe out the needs? There are ones who prophesies this is inevitable, but personally, I doubt that. Why, you may ask? GCP regulation is very clear about it - ICH GCP 5.18.1 (a) states: “The purpose of clinical trial monitoring is to verify that the rights and well-being of human subjects are protected.” Although today's CRA skillset is far…
