Pfizer Appoints New COO

With FDA's clearance, Kedrion can manufacture Ryplazim (plasminogen, human-tvmh), the first and only FDA-approved therapy for treating PLGD-1, at its Bolognana, Italy, site.

The company officially launched new production suites, a revamp of its development labs, and more at its Thousand Oaks, Calif., cell therapy manufacturing facility.

With this $3.6 million investment, the CDMO will strengthen its advanced labeling, automated visual inspection, and fill/finish technology.

The company will now include GMP cell-based potency assays at its Cambridge, UK, and San Diego, Calif., sites expanding its early and late phase analytical capabilities.

The investment will allow Sanofi to strengthen antibody bioproduction at its Lyon Gerland site in France.

Under the collaboration, the companies will create and test circVec DNA–LNP formulations with an eye toward potential therapeutic applications.
