As the founder and president of ADRES - Advanced Regulatory Services Ltd., Rivka Zaibel brings over 36 years of industry experience and practical strategies to help navigate the intricacies of CMC development and regulatory compliance.

Here are three key takeaways:

• Risk Assessment is Paramount: Start risk assessments in parallel with facility design to prevent cross contamination. Remember, areas for both mammalian and microbial cells should be segregated to ensure safety.
• Early Engagement with Regulatory Agencies: Don’t wait until everything is finalized before consulting with regulatory bodies. Engaging them early can ensure your plans align with their requirements and might even spark valuable advice you hadn’t considered.
• Understand and Plan Your Product Journey: Have a clear vision of your final product from the start, and plan backwards. This approach ensures all supporting processes are adequately addressed, saving time and preventing costly mistakes down the line.

Ultimately, successful biologics development hinges on thorough understanding and strategic planning. This includes comprehensive risk assessments, early regulatory engagement, and a commitment to continuous training and facility validation.

Rivka's insights offer a roadmap for navigating this complex landscape, aiming to deliver groundbreaking therapies with precision and compliance. By following these expert strategies, biotech professionals can streamline their processes, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure the successful introduction of their products to the market.
