Servier CDMO expands Preparative Chromatography platform at Normandy Site to support market need


The benefit is the speeding up of clinical supply and subsequent manufacture of complex molecules for medicines at commercial scale

PARIS, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Servier CDMO, the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) division of Servier, today announced that the company has invested $7.5 million USD in intensified technology including continuous chromatography with simulated moving beds (SMB) and super critical fluid chromatography (SFC) with solvent recycling of up to 90% to lower environmental impact.

Servier CDMO provides fully integrated manufacturing and supply chain services for small molecules and drug product, from development and clinical supply up to commercial launch. Servier CDMO includes a worldwide footprint with 11 state-of-the-art facilities, a proven track record in chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical formulation, development and manufacturing, and a complete range of services offering full flexibility.

Servier CDMO expects at least a 50% increase in productivity in addition to the existing configuration of the high-volume batch columns that are used to manufacture drug substances. The investment will allow the chemical purification of 50kg (kilograms) per day, and the chiral separation of 10kg per day to support clinical trials and market supply upon drug approvals.

The highly qualified team at the Bolbec site, in Normandy, is composed of experts in chemical processes and is certified to handle highly potent compounds to occupational exposure band five (OEB 5). Bolbec is a fully United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) site for human pharmaceuticals.

Servier CDMO believes that this exceptional expertise and technology give pharmaceutical companies access to the means to accelerate the development and commercialization of novel therapies that will meet significant unmet patient needs for highly potent compounds.
