Accelerating IND timelines for next-generation biologics: strategic CMC approaches and the power of DoE
The biopharmaceutical landscape is rapidly evolving, with an increasing number of novel protein formats advancing toward clinical trials. These newer modalities present unique CMC challenges that demand tailored, agile and data-driven approaches. Strategic partnerships with experienced CDMOs are key maintaining speed and quality in this dynamic environment.
This presentation showcases Lonza's integrated DNA-to-IND and DNA-to-tox programs, designed to streamline and de-risk biologics development. Through real-world case studies, we will explore how leveraging Design of Experiments (DoE) across the development cycle enables faster data-driven decisions, robust process design, and deeper product understanding.
By leveraging decades of expertise and cutting-edge technologies, Lonza can unlock new opportunities for innovators to confidently advance their next-generation biologics to the clinic and, ultimately, to patients.
