Time to Get $mart: Read on to learn more about the Smarter Path to Phase 1, and Avoiding Costly Mistakes with Singota Solutions.
Mistakes in early-phase drug development are kind of like potholes – you don’t always see them coming, but they can seriously mess up your journey if you’re not prepared. That’s exactly why Singota Solutions (Bloomington, Indiana CDMO) put together Get $mart: 1 Year Out from Phase 1 Injectable Trials, Avoid 3 Expensive Mistakes: a no-nonsense, science-packed webinar designed to help early-stage drug developers sidestep those costly missteps before they turn into full-blown roadblocks.
This event was an engaging, insight-rich conversation where Singota’s expert speakers Ryan Memmer, Manager of Product & Process Development and Quality Control, and Dr. Robert Sleiman, Business Development Manager, walked attendees through the most common (and expensive) mistakes they’ve seen in injectable drug development. More importantly, they shared actionable strategies for avoiding them! Because nobody wants to be the cautionary tale that ends up in a regulatory nightmare.
From underestimating the complexity of scaling up from benchtop to GMP manufacturing, to skimping on robust analytical method development, to choosing the wrong CDMO partner based solely on cost (big mistake!), this webinar was packed with wisdom that could mean the difference between a seamless transition to Phase 1 or a painfully expensive setback. And let’s be honest – nobody has time (or money) for the latter.
One of the biggest takeaways from the event? Cutting corners early on can lead to major headaches down the road. Whether it’s failing to plan for cold chain logistics, overlooking critical stability testing, or assuming that a small-scale formulation will behave the same way at clinical scale, these missteps can derail timelines and budgets faster than you can say “unexpected regulatory delay.” The speakers emphasized that early-phase development isn’t just about getting a product into vials – it’s about laying a rock-solid foundation for long-term success. And that means anticipating challenges before they turn into costly problems.
Missed the event? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading for a full recap of the top three costly mistakes and how you can get smart, not burned, on your journey to Phase 1 success.
