Overview

Peptides represent one of the fastest-growing segments in the biopharmaceutical market. Being able to manufacture peptides with consistent high quality is an important priority for manufacturers of this drug class. In 2013, USP established an Expert Panel on Therapeutic Peptides, tasked with tackling important issues related to peptide quality standards. As the global manufacturing landscape continues to transform, public standards for the quality of peptides will play a growing role in the supply chain integrity of these drugs.

After a successful program in 2016 focused on manufacturing considerations, impurities, specifications, novel peptide therapeutics and regulatory considerations, USP is bringing its Therapeutic Peptides Workshop back again in 2017 for a more in-depth program which will examine GMP manufacturing considerations, analytical characterizations, CMC and formulation for diverse delivery systems, and USP updates.
