Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) is offering several advantages over existing therapeutic strategies. The highly sought-after therapeutics require a sophisticated supply chain, as radioisotopes have short half-lives and must be delivered to patients with extreme speed and efficiency. ITM rises to this challenge as one of the largest global providers and developers of medical radioisotopes for this novel therapy.

In addition to classic aseptic manufacturing topics, the international GMP PharmaCongress and GMP Pharmatechnica Expo 2024 in Wiesbaden will also address global challenges with modern vaccines and novel drugs based on cell and gene therapies. The event thus offers a comprehensive programme for experts from pharmaceutical manufacturing, technology and quality assurance from industry, labs and authorities, as well as a platform for the direct exchange of knowledge and experience.

Despite individual regulatory bodies having their own unique set of requirements, for most organisations, the challenges associated with annual product quality reviews (APQR) are largely the same. Issues with fragmented systems and paper-based processes prove increasingly burdensome.
