  • The field of targeted protein degradation (TPD) research is advancing rapidly, driven by ongoing innovations in medicinal chemistry, structural biology, and computational modeling. Over the next five to ten years, we expect a substantial increase in new therapeutic protein drug (TPD) candidates, focusing on enhancing oral bioavailability and expanding druggable proteins. Early engagement with regulatory agencies will be crucial to ensure alignment and avoid delays. Proactive communication can clarify requirements and streamline approvals. Throughout this process, CDMOs will be essential partners, offering regulatory expertise and scalable manufacturing support for stable, high-quality TPD-based therapies. In this expert-led article, Dr. Anshul Gupte Ph.D. RAC Drugs Gupte, VP of Pharmaceutical Development at PCI Pharma Services, dives deep into how a phase-appropriate, science-led development strategy is critical to advancing TPDs from discovery to commercialization and how PCI’s integrated pharmaceutical development model is helping unlock the true potential of TPDs. https://lnkd.in/e9jSM5wK #Biologics #AdvancedTherapies #CDMO #LetsTalkFuture

  • As scientific and technological advancements continue to accelerate, the future of Targeted Protein Degraders (TPD) looks exceptionally promising; they’re paving the way for groundbreaking treatments that could redefine the landscape of modern medicine. As scientific and technological advancements continue to accelerate, the future of Targeted Protein Degraders (TPD) looks exceptionally promising; they’re paving the way for groundbreaking treatments that could redefine the landscape of modern medicine. Offering a highly selective and irreversible approach to protein elimination, targeted protein degraders represent a paradigm shift in drug development. Although their optimization presents unique challenges, the expertise of Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) is helping to overcome these barriers and enable the successful transition from research to clinical application. In this article, Rebecca Coutts, Senior Director of Pharmaceutical Development, discusses the potential and challenges of Target Product Profiles (TPPs). She addresses issues such as bioavailability, manufacturing hurdles, and the critical role that CDMOs play in enhancing clinical outcomes, as well as how PCI Pharma Services is influencing the future of TPDs through advanced formulation development, high-containment manufacturing, and strategic innovation. https://lnkd.in/eJUttvdj #TargetedProteinDegraders #DrugDevelopment #CDMO #LetsTalkFuture
