Biopharmaceutical manufacturing will continue to be increasingly challenging as medical knowledge and understanding rapidly advance. Many new therapies and products will utilize cellular, viral, genetic, and epigenetic approaches along with a repertoire of increasingly complex proteins targeting a rapidly increasing inventory of newly discovered biomarkers. Manufacturing these products efficiently, consistently, and reliably will require sophisticated manufacturing approaches, methods, and controls. In addition, growing patient, societal, and even regulatory pressures demand that new therapeutics be developed and manufactured quickly, reliably, and efficiently.

Manufacturing these products efficiently, consistently, and reliably will require sophisticated manufacturing approaches, methods, and controls.

Historically, manufacturing has been viewed and managed in terms of minimizing patient safety risks.

Safety is typically viewed, perhaps unconsciously, as the result of a collection of factors, conditions, or behaviors. For example, consider “safety” in the context of personal, financial, or travel. With each, safety is defined as a set of component risks that have been managed to satisfactory levels for a particular situation. The same is true for product safety and risk, whether it be for raw materials or finished goods. The “safe” use of fetal bovine serum (FBS) is achieved by the management of controllable risks to a level that is acceptable for each particular application. For example, risk reduction requirements for research applications are not as stringent as for diagnostic, therapeutic, or manufacturing applications. Each end-user must decide on the level of risk reduction that is appropriate for their application…

An interesting situation occurred ten years ago in an industry where quality had been the critical factor in management decision-making. Quality was abruptly bumped to second place behind pricing, which started a global rush to find lower-cost suppliers and eventually resulted in massive outsourcing. During this evolution, the importance of quality systems for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical community was recognized by regulatory agencies that began establishing risk management standards.
