Pharmaceutical Development
Nutraceuticals Development

The process of pharmaceutical development includes multiple steps required to bring a pharmaceutical drug product to the market after the molecule has been synthesized.  Product development programs at All Pharma, LLC. are established in facilities and with equipment assuring the highest level of production quality. All systems are cGMP compliant. Projects are scaled according to capacity requirements from low-volume to high-volume production.

Excipient Compatibility tests evaluate interactions between the drug and components in the pharmaceutical formulation. For solutions and suspensions, results help determine buffer selection and measure the optimum pH level.

Process Development and Optimization
Process development and optimization services are designed to maximize efficiencies in the manufacturing process resulting in reduced cost and increased productivity.

Well-designed tests conducted from the beginning of the formulation stage may help contain costs and increase efficiency during the manufacturing phase.  Testing is established to evaluate equipment optimization, operating procedures and control mechanisms. The All Pharma, LLC. team critically examines whether equipment utility is maximized, how output varies between people or operating shifts and if procedures and practices function as designed.

Cleaning Validation procedures are designed to assure that residues are removed from equipment and that cleaning supplies are suitable and appropriate for their purpose.

Analytical Method Development and Validation
Analytical method development services and validation are required by regulatory authorities to demonstrate that testing during the development process is appropriate for the intended use of the drug product. Pharmaceutical analytical services establish the identity, purity, physical characteristics and potency of the drug formulation. The range of pharmaceutical laboratory testing and subsequent results analysis involves collaboration between the All Pharma, LLC.  Quality Control department and the Research and Development Analytical team.

Results of analytical method development tests assess prototype formulations, determine product stability, discover batch-to-batch variability, verify USP methods and enable transfer of analytical procedures.

Validation
The correctness of the scientific method used to conduct studies and tests is known as validation.  The development of any pharmaceutical drug product relies on precise scientific methods to confirm the correct substance appears in the correct amount and in the appropriate range for the intended purpose. All Pharma, LLC. follows written standard operating procedures (SOP) describing each process for conducting method validation. Instruments are carefully calibrated and test methods are conducted according to an approved protocol plan.

Scale-Up
Scale-up determines best practices to increase production for sales and distribution requirements.
Increasing manufacturing output to achieve production quantities requires a skillful combination of experience, science and engineering. The process involves three important considerations: pre-production issues, concerns during production and post-production circumstances. Acquiring an adequate supply of the API and all raw materials must be assured in advance for successful scale-up. Each step in the production process must be evaluated to avoid issues when changing from small-batch to full production quantities.  Data is collected from small-scale production runs that may yield important information that streamlines full-scale production methods. As each successive batch is manufactured, process ranges are identified that are documented according to an approved protocol written in advance of full-scale production.  Scale-up procedures must adhere to strict regulatory requirements. The Scale-Up And Post-Approval Changes (SUPAC) guidelines are set by the FDA to determine whether changes are needed to the established manufacturing process. Prescription New Drug Application (NDA) and Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) filings must also be submitted for government approval.

Technology Transfer
The efficient transition of technical and manufacturing capabilities between separate entities is known as technology transfer.
Whenever technology or production is shifted from one entity to All Pharma, LLC. , a transition team with specialized experience evaluates all capabilities from raw materials through production to assure a successful outcome. A comprehensive check-list is completed to help ensure client satisfaction.

The team examines original formulations, production methods and equipment that may require modification to machinery and procedures within the All Pharma’s facility. Additional training may be required. Documentation must be complete including up-to-date production records and SOP protocols concerning processing, packaging and cleaning. At times, assistance from the previous manufacturer is sought if available to reduce cost and acquire insights helpful in the production process. All Pharma, LLC. submits regulatory filings confirming the required expertise and capabilities to complete the transfer. Packaging line trials and a health and safety review are conducted.

Technology transfer involves a dedicated All Pharma’s team committed to eliminating potential problems that may arise at the point of origin with the goal of establishing a timely, safe and effective program for starting or continuing production of pharmaceutical drug products at All Pharma, LLC.
