Integrated End-to-End CMC Services

Stainless steel reactors in a GMP facility supporting chemistry manufacturing controls for small molecule API and drug product development.

Integrated End-to-End CMC Services

Getting new molecules to the clinic is difficult and complex, with many technical hurdles to overcome.

Pathfinder™ is our end-to-end CMC service, integrating API and drug product development. Our API and product teams are co-located and bridged by our broad material science and pre-formulation capabilities.

Starting with API process design and scale-up, our early developability assessments help drive candidate selection and inform formulation routes for IND enabling and human clinical trials. Formulation development runs parallel to API process scale-up and manufacture, while GMP API moves seamlessly into GMP product manufacture to supply clinical trials.

Our joined-up teams consolidate all technical data into coherent scientific reports, leading to better decision-making. API and product manufacturing under a single QMS result in the more effective delivery of clinical material, accelerating your path to the clinic.
