Joined up thinking is the key to converting AI-driven advances into real benefits for healthcare systems, say NHSX. Healthcare systems the world over have been facing the same challenges for some time – and the pandemic has only served to compound them. Aging populations, a growing number of people living with long-term conditions, and dwindling resources meant the NHS was already being asked to do more with less before COVID-19 hit.

Flagship Pioneering, the VC fund run by Moderna’s co-founder Noubar Afeyan has launched a new biotech Laronde , with an ambitious plan to create a new class of drugs based on Endless RNA. Called eRNA for short, this class of medicines is programmable and can continuously express therapeutic proteins inside the body. This makes the body into a “drug factory”, allowing for long-lasting medicines that allow for repeat redosing and can be administered easily by several routes.

When selecting a clinical supply provider, consideration often focuses upon the manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution capabilities available that will, at face-value, be sufficient to meet the needs of the sponsor and their trial. However, there are human-based and knowledge-driven factors that are often overlooked that go beyond these basic physical capabilities and are integral to the development and delivery of high performing clinical supply chains.

As the development pipeline for new drugs continues to grow, biopharmaceutical companies are re-evaluating how to best manage and balance resources across an increasing number of development projects and complex clinical trials. There are two approaches that can be used to speed a drug from development to clinic faster: timeline compression and parallel processing, but only one that considers the benefits of integrating clinical supply into the overall drug development process.
