Effective Extractables and Leachables: Evaluation Programs for Single-Use Systems

The collaboration will combine Cytiva’s CGT manufacturing technologies with Cellular Origins' robotic manufacturing platform.

In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.

The manufacturing agreement is expected to run through December 2030, subject to change, with production to take place at Samsung Biologics’ Songdo, South Korea, site.

Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) is a powerful technique used to characterize metabolic phenotype driving to improved productivity in biomanufacturing. MFA is most powerful when absolute concentrations of the metabolic intermediates are measured, but doing so in practice is often impractical due to inherent limitations of conventional absolute quantitation by mass spectral analysis. Recently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been applied to solving the problem of broad, untargeted, absolute quantitation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). These new approaches extend readily to the determination of absolute concentrations of stable isotopically-labeled metabolic intermediates, offering a new tool for MFA. Dr Sam Yenne from Metalytics Inc., a company that specializes in the science of metabolic flux, has recently assessed and adopted Pyxis, a new tool for absolute quantitation of raw LC-MS data. Dr Yenne describes MFA, its utility in biopharmaceutical development, associated challenges and how Pyxis impacts those challenges.

Although specifics about the milestone were not immediately provided, Scribe is eligible to receive more than $1.2 billion for certain research, development, regulatory, and commercial benchmarks.

The transaction adds a pipeline of early-stage drug candidates against high-value targets to Telix’s portfolio, along with other novel targets currently in the discovery stage.
