A journey through the clinical trial supply chain in Korea
Many Korean pharmaceutical companies have internal facilities to manufacture their drugs. However these facilities for manufacture cater to the full pipeline of drug development. From a business perspective, commercial drugs are produced on a larger scale and have significant value to the company, and as a result are often prioritized on the production line within the manufacturing facility. Clinical drugs (IPs) are generally produced in much smaller amounts, and despite the consequence of prolonged manufacturing time to clinical teams, the importance of speedy IP manufacture is not always appreciated on the manufacturing line.

Given the exponentially rising costs of late-stage development through commercialization, this is not an unreasonable expectation on the part of your investors, particularly venture capitalists. And it’s certainly justifiable, if your plan to get to your next clinical development milestone is based on getting it done in the US or Europe.
