What is Technology Transfer
❖In the pharmaceutical industry, “Technology Transfer” refers
to the processes that are needed for successful progress from
drug discovery to product development to clinical trials to full-
scale commercialization.
• Vertical Technology transfer (from R&D to full scale commercialization)
• Horizontal Technology transfer (From one commercial site to another commercial site)
❖ It enable to upgrade drug quality planned during research
development and to final product during manufacturing as well
as to guarantee that stable quality is transferred.
❖ According to WHO, Transfer of technology is defined as “a
logical procedure that controls the transfer of any process
together with its documentation and professional expertise
between development and manufacture or between manufacture
sites”.

Importance of Technology Transfer
As ‘TT’ has numerous importance in pharma sector for which
elaborate purpose are as follows:
❖ To elucidate necessary information to transfer technology
from R&D to actual manufacturing
❖ It provides an opportunity to reduce cost on drug discovery
and development
❖ For smooth manufacturing of commercialized product.
❖ Maintain quality of product and to achieve standardized
process.
❖ Documented evidence of the manufacturing process for drug
substance and drug products
❖ It provides an opportunity to reduce cost on drug discovery
and development

Facets for ‘TT’
❖ Premises involved in TT:
• Government lab to private sector firm
• Between private sector firm of same country
• Between private sector firm of different country
• From academia to private sector firm
• Academia, government and industry collaboration
❖ facets for TT:
• Lack of manufacturing capacity
• Lack of resources to launch product commercially
• Lack of marketing and distribution capability
• Exploitation in a different field of application

Policies involved in ‘TT’
❖ Policies:
• Experience in the business sector. It has to
demonstrate a reputable experience
• Cultural compatibility:It should belong to the same
geographic region
• Confidentiality: It should be guaranteed by signing a
secret agreement.
• Relations: with other institutions subcontracted in turn.
Application of the same rules as in the main contract.
• Financial solvency. Accreditation by a company
specialized in this kind of audits.
• The compliance with the regulatory requirements is
assured.

Goals:
❖To take all the gathered knowledge and use it as the basis for
the manufacturing control strategy, the approach to process
qualification and on-going continuous improvement.
❖
❖The transition of the product/process/analytical method
knowledge between development and manufacturing sites.
❖To ensure variability of process and parameters are controlled
and sufficient in the face of the rigors of a commercial production
environment.
❖To verify parameters established during development are still
within the determined design space and adjusted at scale-up.
