Viral Vector Manufacturing CDMO Services

Viral Vector Manufacturing CDMO Services

The Center for Breakthrough Medicines (CBM) offers a purpose-built manufacturing facility, with suites focused on scalable production of viral vectors, including Adeno-associated virus (AAV), Lentivirus (LV), HSV, Adenovirus, other vectors, as well as non-viral modalities.

We provide custom development and viral vector manufacturing services as well as off-the-shelf products. Our viral vector manufacturing capabilities consistently deliver high yields and higher throughput without compromising quality.

Gene Therapy Viral Vector CDMO Services

Plasmid & Starting Material

  • • Plasmids are a critical starting material for vector production. As a common bottleneck, ensuring a steady supply is critical to uninterrupted manufacturing. CBM’s Precision PlasmidsTM guarantees quantity and quality to support later vector yields.
  • • Cell line, cell banks, viral stocks and banks, and reference standards to simplify and streamline our clients’ supply chains

Vector Starting Material

  • • Process development efforts including characterization and stability studies are critical for successful manufacturing at later clinical and commercial scale
  • • CBM’s first-time right process development is underpinned by a Pilot Plant that utilizes the same scales and equipment as in GMP with flexibility in scale and scheduling.
  • • Available cell line reduces COGS and contributes to a robust and scalable process.
  • • Tech transfers are facilitated by having GMP teams train, develop documentation, and begin the bill of material for GMP manufacturing.
  • • Digitally enabled systems enables quick transfer of data for more robust development and training opportunities within the PD space.

GMP Manufacturing

  • • Flexible and digitally-enabled suite design supports wide variety of vectors including Adeno-associated virus (AAV), Lentivirus (LV), HSV, Adenovirus, other vectors, as well as non-viral modalities.
  • • Commercial ready suites with maximum segregation and engineer controls to reduce contamination risk.
  • • End-to-end manufacturing including Cell Banks, Viral Banks, Bulk Drug Substance, and Drug Product to simplify supply chains and the path of clinic.

Integrated Testing & Analytical

  • • CBM’s Analytical Accelerator™ for Vector Testing speeds time to GMP batch release more than three-fold (from 22 to 6 weeks) with no wait times and a complete package of platform assays across the full spectrum of FDA quality domains.
  • • Consolidating tests allows shipment to a single laboratory, reducing sample volumes needed by up to 50 percent.
  • • Custom assay development can be performed in half the time (6 months vs. 12) of de novo development using Analytical Accelerator™ methods.
