EUROGENTEC
Eurogentec, a custom service and contract manufacturing organization (CMO), announced today that its GMP Drug Substance manufacturing facility has completed the production of 150 grams of plasmid DNA (pDNA). The GMP plasmid was manufactured and released as a single GMP batch and is the largest batch of pDNA ever manufactured. The plasmid DNA was manufactured in a facility that has been inspected by the US FDA and the material is intended for use in human clinical trials to take place in the USA and Europe.
Ingrid Dheur, Business Unit Director at Eurogentec, stated “This successful production confirms that Eurogentec’s platform GMP plasmid production process is scalable to at least 150 g per batch; we are now evaluating steps required to reach the kilogram scale to prepare for our current clients projected needs.”
About Plasmid DNA
Plasmid DNA offers significant
opportunities in the treatment of genetic, acquired or infectious
diseases such as cystic fibrosis, cancer or influenza. The technology
has a long history of safety and is characterized by high stability and
being non-infectious. Aside from the therapeutic advantages, plasmid DNA
holds a number of advantages from a manufacturing point of view. The
product can be more rapidly and more cost-effectively produced compared
to other biopharmaceuticals due to the platform nature of plasmid DNA
manufacturing; this also makes plasmid DNA interesting for use in
pandemic situations.
