Clinical Trial Material (CTM) Manufacturing
For early phase clinical trial materials, choose a product development team focused on scalability and performance
Frontage brings a team of leading development scientists with hands-on experience in designing formulation, finished products and manufacturing processes. We have the equipment needed to model processes on the bench and pilot scales for technology transfer to large-scale manufacturing. We complement these capabilities with our good manufacturing practices (GMP), clinical trial materials (CTM), and manufacturing areas for preclinical, Phase I and II clinical supplies.
Formulations
Frontage’s formulation development and CTM manufacturing team designs formulations for targeted delivery of a therapeutic and then develops GMP manufacturing processes to ensure a high-quality product is produced for clinical trials. We develop finished products supporting IND, NDA filings and generic ANDA filings. Our facilities have been designed for flexibility, as we offer a variety of dosage forms and the ability to handle highly potent compounds and DEA-controlled substances.
Manufacturing Services – Novel Drug, Generic Equivalent, and Consumer Health Products
- Stability evaluation of prototype formulations in select container closure systems for lead formulation and commercial stability program management
- Formulation development followed by process optimization studies for scale-up batch manufacturing incorporating Quality by Design principles
- Prototype manufacturing
- Regulatory-ready documentation (eCTD format)
For early phase clinical trial materials, choose a product development team focused on scalability and performance. Ensure comprehensive product analysis with Frontage’s team of experienced analytical scientists.
Specialized Capabilities
- Potent compound handling for occupational exposure levels down to 1μg/m3 (or Safebridge Category III)
