Managing aggressive timelines for clinical trials on a global scale
Sourcing clinical trial products and distributing them in accordance with strict timelines and country-specific regulations can make or break a trial’s success. And with more clinical trials taking place across several countries and within hard-to-reach regions, managing these requirements presents a range of complications for trial sponsors. In this article, Tanner Pharma Group provides insights on clinical trial sourcing and supply and shares their approach to meeting aggressive timelines.
Overcoming challenges with scalability in biopharma manufacturing
Production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) therapies has traditionally been expensive and complicated. Scaling up from discovery to lab scale and then to commercial manufacturing can be streamlined by using a consistent approach. We speak to Dr Hani El-Sabbahy, Advanced Application Engineering Specialist from 3M, to understand more about overcoming problems with scalability and reliability of clarification solutions.
The rise of generics: market growth and global access
The global generic drugs market is projected to be worth $384.4bn within the next five years, according to GlobalData. We take a look at some factors driving this growth, and what it means for both patients and drug manufacturers.
Managing drug shortages: Getting medicines to patients in need
Patients around the world are experiencing drug shortages, with production still recovering from the disruption caused by Covid-19, the war in Ukraine, and rising energy costs. Tanner Pharma is tackling these issues head-on, managing disruptions and ensuring that a range of treatments reach patients wherever they are.
A guide to managing hazardous waterborne bacteria outbreaks
It is impossible to completely eradicate biofilm from any water system, meaning that an outbreak of hazardous bacteria can happen at any time. In a healthcare facility, it is essential to keep water running and protect the safety of patients and staff. We learn how a good water management plan and expert advice can help healthcare facilities overcome the roadblocks to promptly restoring a safe water supply.

Enabling access continuity of medical treatments for patients
There are different instances where patients may experience interruptions in treatment access, entirely lose access they once had, or completely lack access to a commercialized medicine that just isn’t available where they live. The common denominator being that all factors are almost always beyond the patient’s control. Finding ways to mitigate and overcome these challenges in access is vital for patients’ long-term health and can make a life-saving difference. We speak to experts at Tanner Pharma to learn more about the issues with access and how to overcome them.
