Redundancy As Fail-Safe: Is It Feasible To Hire Backup CDMO Support?

In this segment of the Outsourced Pharma Live virtual event A New Age For Small Molecule Development, Bethany Dudek, Chief Technology Officer, Arcutis, Sesha Neervannan, PhD, COO, Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, and Conrad Wüllerm MSc, Director of Strategy & Operations, ARTBIO, offer thoughts about when it makes sense to hire multiple CDMO providers to prevent disruptions due to shortages or other unforeseen events. For commercial products, having more than one source is almost always necessary, but companies in the development stages need to weigh the risks of disruption against the costs of partnering with multiple CDMOs or suppliers.
