Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why the Small Details Reveal Everything About Your CDMO Partner with Frank Sorce
Q: How do risk-sharing or dynamic pricing models fit into CDMO deals, and are they effective?
When well designed, dynamic pricing can align incentives between sponsor and CDMO, offering rewards for on-time, on-spec results, but they must be balanced with protections if programs are halted due to safety or efficacy issues.
Why the Small Details Reveal Everything About Your CDMO Partner with Frank Sorce
Q: What should buyers look for beyond audits to confirm a site can actually execute a project?
Beyond audits, look for concrete, specific past performance, awarded development and manufacturing cases, visible leadership and project management experiences, and clear responsiveness and alignment with your program timelines.
Why the Small Details Reveal Everything About Your CDMO Partner with Frank Sorce
Q: When pharma companies start the CDMO selection process, what are the biggest misconceptions about how the decision should be made?
The main misconception is that remote vetting and online materials can fully substitute for in-person site visits; you must walk the facilities, observe operations, and meet the actual team to really assess capabilities and culture.
Martin McLaughlin’s Four-Pillar Playbook to Launching Better, Faster, and Smarter
Q: Are you starting to create these playbooks when drug development is still early, or when do you begin?
The playbooks are living documents that can be brought forward from previous launches, updated continuously, and designed to survive turnover, while the overall launch process remains consistent across projects.
Martin McLaughlin’s Four-Pillar Playbook to Launching Better, Faster, and Smarter
Q: So if you could just summarize, and then we'll dig into each point, what is your framework four-step playbook here that you're talking about?
He describes three foundational pillars—people, process, and performance—and adds technology as the evolving fourth pillar, with a focus on how AI and digital tools can support quicker, more effective launches.
