Cambrex is here to support you in early-phase development. Our development experts apply their ingenuity and skill to address your unique challenges.
Our teams of creative problem-solvers work closely with you to accelerate drug development timelines, optimize processes, and meet regulatory requirements.
We understand that the commercial phase of drug development can be challenging, especially when it comes to manufacturing at scale and meeting changing market demands.
Cambrex is a leading global supplier of more than 70 generic APIs, as well as intermediates and derivatives.
Detecting elemental impurities — typically trace, heavy metal impurities — has challenged the pharmaceutical industry for decades. Regulatory changes in 2018 to harmonize requirements outlined in USP <232> and <233> with ICH Q3D guidelines further complicated control strategies. Determining how to evaluate the risks associated with aqueous solutions, chemical excipients, and container-closure systems can tax an analytical testing operation without deep expertise in elemental impurities testing.
When you partner with Cambrex, your analytical testing challenges become our priority. Our scientists have a proven track record of elemental impurities testing. With extensive experience in heavy metals testing and advanced analytical and sample preparation techniques, we are highly qualified to help you develop a risk-assessment strategy for elemental impurities. From documentation, analytical screening and development/validation of a material-specific method, we work with you to achieve compliance. Our ICP-MS instrumentation housed in our material characterization labs is available to analyze challenging sample matrices, such as plastics, lubricants and complex APIs.
We love challenges, and we would like to learn more about yours. Contact us to discuss your elemental impurity needs.
In general, we have two approaches to generating elemental impurity data to support risk assessment activities:
Validation activities, including a method developed by Cambrex to analyze all listed ICH Q3D elements using the parenteral limits, would be performed on each novel material to support the elemental impurity risk assessment as part of the filing.
Methods may be developed utilizing specific elements and limits when requested. Validation studies will be evaluated per USP <233> using either a Quantitative Method or Limits Method.
Cambrex and Q1 Scientific’s stability storage and sample management capabilities serve the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Life Sciences industries, with locations across North America and Europe. We offer long-term storage and analysis of reference standards to ensure a consistent, high-quality supply for your needs.
Extractables and leachables (“E&L”) studies are an essential component of regulatory filing to demonstrate product safety. Depending on the container-closure system or medical device being evaluated, E&L studies can be very complex. Choosing a CDMO with expertise is critical to successful delivery of robust E&L data that you can trust.
Rigorous, effective analytical testing is key in the drug development lifecycle. Because this testing is used to verify control of drug chemistry, it can help identify barriers that prevent movement to the next phase in the development process. That’s why it’s critical to have efficient, accurate and high-quality analytical support for your testing requirements.
