Societal CDMO, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) dedicated to solving complex formulation and manufacturing challenges primarily in small molecule therapeutic development, announced that it has been selected to provide CDMO services to support the ongoing clinical development of a novel drug candidate in Europe. The compound is an oral solid dose anti-viral therapy product approved for the prevention and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in select countries in Europe and Societal’s work is focused on supporting the expansion of the product’s indications.
Under terms of the new agreement, Societal CDMO will execute appropriate technology transfer activities, followed by cGMP manufacture of clinical trial material to support the initiation and execution of Phase 2 studies of the drug candidate. This work will include production, packaging and labeling of both the active compound and matching placebo for the study.
