IDrug
assignment
»  The client wanted to screen various manufacturers in order to provide a risk assessment of each potential supply source and benchmark current available suppliers.
»  The API has a peculiar varied milieu which is difficult to reproduce.
»  IDrug compared 4 different API manufacturers, incl. one originator, establishing impurity profiles and polymer profiles by MALDI.

Result

»  IDrug’s analysis showed that only the originator has the required quality and correct composition of milieu which other suppliers could not manage to copy.
»  The risk assessment showed that the “generic” final dosage form potentially has an inferior safety profile than the one shown by the originator molecule in clinical studies.
