As a Single Entry Point, PHOENIX SEP offers a top-tier and consolidated
network of facilities, technologies, services and expertise to bridge and facilitate the path of nanopharmaceuticals from bench to bedside.  

THE CHALLENGES OF NANO-PHARMACEUTICAL DEVELOPMENT

What makes nanopharmaceuticals different to other medicines? The nano size alters physical, chemical and/or biological characteristics that differentiate the in vivo behaviour as compared to conventional counterparts, often improving their efficacy.

The journey nanopharmaceuticals need to take to reach the market and eventually the patient’s bedside is long and includes two main stages that the production process and the product need to target:

1

FIRST STAGE


The scale-up from the small amount of the nanopharmaceutical produced in the R&D laboratories that are used for research purposes to a pilot plant of mid-to-large amounts, needed to perform pre-clinical evaluation and testing of the nano-medicine, as well as to enter into clinics.

At this stage, it is vital that the quality of the production process and the product itself are very high and that adequate quantities are produced to enter each stage.

2

SECOND STAGE

The smooth and seamless transfer of production methods to GMP environment to ensure quality, efficacy, and safety of the nanopharmaceuticals that are to be clinically approved.

Despite the efforts during the last years in the field of nanopharmaceuticals, there are still difficulties moving from one stage to the next, mainly due to problems in repeatability to obtain a high-quality and -quantity product for entering GMP environment and due to difficulties of achieving industrial-scale production.

Consequently, there are still barriers to be overcome that hinder nanopharmaceuticals to reach the market.

That's where PHOENIX comes in

 

PHOENIX supports its customers to overcome these difficulties, enabling transfer of nanopharmaceuticals from lab bench to clinical trials. PHOENIX provides a Single Entry Point (SEP) for a network of facilities, technologies, services and expertise for all the R&D/I and technology transfer aspects from characterization, testing, verification up to scale-up, GMP manufacturing and regulatory guidance in a timely and cost-friendly manner.
