LUGANO, Switzerland • The Proveo offer of a “one-stop-shop” for Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) development, manufacturing and delivery is now restructured as a fully integrated business division of Cerbios-Pharma SA. The restructuring ensures that the service can meet the complex supply chain and program management requirements for successful ADC Drug Product manufacturing, allowing it to provide a full ‘end-to-end’ services encompassing development and manufacturing of all ADC components, from payload and mAb to conjugation and Fill & Finish under one single organization.
Distinct capabilities
Development and manufacturing of ADCs require numerous distinct CDMOs handling activities related to Highly Potent cytotoxic payloads, cell line development, protein production, bio-conjugation, and Fill & Finish. Handling of these activities require enormous efforts by the project sponsor in handling logistics, project management and quality aspects at different sites. The newly created Cerbios Proveo division will continue to provide an integrated Alliance solution for ADC manufacturing that combines three world class players in HPAPI and conjugation (Cerbios-Pharma), monoclonal antibody (AGC Biologics) and Fill & Finish (Oncotec Pharma Produktion) under the same structure.
