Moving a molecule from discovery through early clinical development is rarely a straight path. Development teams must navigate technical and operational hurdles, including scale-up challenges, evolving impurity profiles, formulation issues, unexpected toxicology findings and the constant pressure to meet critical development milestones and clinical timelines. As programs progress, even small setbacks can create significant delays and strain limited budgets, making it essential to have the experience and tools to troubleshoot issues quickly and practically.

Watch our Cambrex experts, Cy Credille and T.J. Harper, discuss the most common – and some uncommon – challenges encountered during early pharmaceutical development and share creative yet practical strategies for overcoming them. They highlight real-world examples of how our team in Longmont, Colorado has accelerated development for clients through collaboration to solve manufacturing, analytical and formulation challenges.

In this video, you’ll learn about:
  • Common technical and operational problems that emerge during early pharmaceutical development
  • The shift from primarily chemistry-based problems to physical property and manufacturing challenges
  • How scale effects, impurity control, particle morphology, crystallization behavior, and elemental impurities can affect development timelines
  • Why phase-appropriate development, communication, and planning matter when working with CDMO and CMO partners
  • Practical lessons from case studies involving nitrosamine analysis, scale-up, API solid form behavior, and late-stage process troubleshooting
