FEATURED EDITORIAL

FDA Not A Good FRAME for CDMO Inspections?

Is the Framework for Regulatory Advanced Manufacturing Evaluation (FRAME) a good idea? It dates to 2019, but as of this July the FDA has proposed a regulatory pathway allowing a distributed manufacturing establishment (DME) to operate as a single registrant covering multiple locations. Let's look at a real-life example to weigh the merits.

 

The Unspoken Truth About Cell Therapy Product Understanding

Developers often discover important attributes after it's too late to act on them. A well-designed program asks what's needed for commercialization and works backward.

Velocity The Key Metric For External Manufacturing

What separates high-performing sponsor-CDMO partnerships from struggling ones? Velocity. With 30+ years of experience, Ratna Shekhar is focused on how real speed drives results. Chief Editor Louis Garguilo investigates.
