Lipum's biological drug candidate SOL-116 has successfully been manufactured under the regulations that apply to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). The manufacturing work was done by the company’s partner Abzena Inc. in San Diego. For the next development step, Apotek Produktion & Laboratorier AB (APL) has been engaged for aseptic fill and finish which is the final, critical step in the GMP manufacturing of biopharmaceutical products. This is a specialized process, involving highly developed techniques, that will ensure that the product is sterile and ready for use in clinical trials.
APL that has five facilities in Sweden and about 500 employees is a leading company for contract manufacturing of pharmaceuticals on behalf of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.
"A significant milestone has been reached in the development of our drug candidate. We are pleased to have APL as our partner for the next step. It is also great that this work is in good hands locally at their site here in Umeå.” - says Einar Pontén, CEO.
