Sharing the news on Thursday (15th April), the company said the investment has enabled part of the facility to be dedicated to the safe handling of cell and gene therapy samples, including the installation of cryogenic storage, allowing biological materials to be preserved in liquid nitrogen vapor at temperatures of around -180C.

The facility also has the ability to package, label and distribute cryogenic materials, ensuring the integrity of the therapies being prepared for clinical trials, and has been designed so that capacity can be rapidly expanded further to meet growing clinical supply needs, as well as future commercial demand.

Establishing robust clinical supply chain services for cell and gene therapies is complex and challenging, and Catalent has undertaken an in-depth strategic review to evaluate how it can establish a safe, efficient and flexible approach to support this fast-growing area of the industry, said Ricci Whitlow, President, Catalent Clinical Supply Services.

The solution we have implemented at Philadelphia not only meets current needs, but also provides a template for us to easily replicate at other facilities in our global network, allowing incremental capacity expansion within the new infrastructure as demand grows.

With sites in the US, UK, Germany, Singapore, Japan and China, and an extended network of over 50 depots, Catalents clinical supply services can handle a broad range of international compliance and distribution requirements to support global clinical trials.
