CASE STUDY – Late-Stage Development Report

Situation

A start-up company with an asset ready to enter Phase 3 enlisted the support of NGT’s consultants to prepare an end of Phase 2 product development report, which was to include an assessment of the company’s CMC strategy and an articulation of the steps necessary to achieve the commercial cost of goods target. The start-up company executives indicated that the report was also to be presented to a potential commercial partner.

Solution

NGT’s consultants created a regulatory and technology development report that included levers to reduce the cost of goods and a framework for finalizing the API and DP commercial processes. NGT’s consultants also performed an eCTD submission gap assessment (e.g., evaluation of critical process parameters, critical quality attributes, and material attributes) and provided a regulatory starting material strategy. In addition, a digital validation lifecycle management solution was introduced to fulfill validation requirements, including customized risk and knowledge management processes.

Impact

The commercial partner endorsed the cost of goods reduction proposal and other CMC recommendations enabling the start-up company to secure the finances necessary to proceed into Phase 3.
