Technology Transfer and Scale-up in Pharmaceutical IndustryPranjalWagh1
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”.
In 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.
It is basically divided into three phases - Research Phase, Development Phase and Production Phase. The presentation elaborates on the technology transfer taking place in production phase. Production phase mainly concerns with validation studies and scale-up.
Validation studies such as performance qualification, cleaning validation and process validation is carried out by R&D department.
Scale-up involves the use of results obtained from lab studies for designing prototype of a product and pilot plant process, constructing pilot plant and further using pilot plant data for full-scale commercialization.
One of the fundamental purposes of the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is to ensure the quality and integrity of test data related to non-clinical safety studies. The way in which study data, supporting human, animal and environmental safety assessment, is generated, handled, reported, retained and archived has continued to evolve in line with the introduction and ongoing development of supporting technologies.
