New State-of-the-Art Facilities for Clinical Development to Commercial Launch
Avid Bioservices recently commissioned its new state-of-the-art commercial biomanufacturing facility in Tustin, California. Its designed to be one of the first late phase 3 and commercial production facilities designed for exclusive operation of single-use equipment to produce biologics in the United States. The 40,000-ft² facility has completed its initial process validation runs and is ramping up to conduct multiple new process validation runs for a number of clients. The facility is outfitted with cutting-edge, single-use equipment to accommodate a fully disposable biomanufacturing process for late phase 3 clinical and commercial production of biologics. A range of innovative features are incorporated into the new facility, including monolithic modular cleanroom walls, dedicated support utilities for each key processing area, and the industry’s most advanced single-use bioproduction technology, which can accommodate multiple single-use bioreactors up to the 2,000-L scale. Unidirectional process flows separating personnel and materials provide assurance that the design meets the most stringent regulatory requirements for commercial biologic active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing. The facility is located adjacent to the company’s current campus in Orange County, California.

Based on significant client demand, Avid is also in the process of designing a third manufacturing facility focused on clinical manufacturing. This additional suite will significantly increase Avid’s manufacturing capacity and is expected to be completed and ready for clinical manufacturing activities by the first half of 2017.
