Lonza Extends Collaboration with Major Pharmaceutical Partner for Integrated Commercial Supply of Antibody-Drug Conjugates
Source: EQS
The new Visp bioconjugation suite will occupy approximately 800m2 of manufacturing space and will support the manufacture, handling, and containment of highly-potent modalities. The new suite is expected to be operational in 2027 and will generate approximately 100 new jobs. The customer-dedicated suite further extends Lonza’s relationship with the customer, which already consists of an integrated supply of the highly potent payload, drug-linker, commercial mAb manufacturing, conjugation services, and DP filling for the ADC molecule targeting hard-to-treat cancers. Based on an established relationship grounded in quality and delivery, the collaboration has also been extended to include long-term manufacturing services for a new ADC targeting solid tumors. Under the terms of the new agreement, Lonza will manufacture the mAb at Lonza’s biologics facility in Porriño (ES), occupying a majority of the site’s manufacturing capacity. The ADC will then be conjugated in the new dedicated large-scale bioconjugation suites in Visp (CH). ADCs are bioconjugates that usually combine a targeting antibody with a highly-potent payload using a linker molecule. By using targeted delivery to cancer cells while limiting toxicity to healthy tissues, they are fulfilling their therapeutic and commercial potential by transforming treatment options and bringing hope to cancer patients. Lonza has unique experience in supporting ADC manufacturing, from early development stages to commercial launch, including drug substance manufacturing and drug product filling. As a leading CDMO for bioconjugates, Lonza has produced more than 1,000 cGMP batches for more than 70 programs since 2006.
