Clinical Manufacturing & Packaging
Clinical Supplies Manufactured with Compliance and Quality
Upperton offers a flexible and dynamic approach to GMP manufacturing. From first in human (FIH) through to phase III clinical supplies manufacturing. No project is too small or too challenging.
Upperton has been granted licences from both the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the Home Office (controlled drugs I-IV)
Upperton MHRA Licence: Scope of Activities
In our MHRA approved facility, we offer manufacturing and packaging of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) in dosage forms including oral solid dosage forms, bulk dry powders, dry powder inhalers, nasal suspensions and solutions; for both biological molecules and traditional small molecules. Placebo development and manufacture are also offered.
GMP Clean Room Facilities
We currently have 3 x Grade D/ISO 8 manufacturing rooms with 2 x Grade C/ISO 7 downflow booths for manufacturing of a wide range of dosage forms including
- Bulk spray dried powders
- Capsules
- Tablets
- Dry Powder Delivery Devices (nasal and pulmonary)
- Liquid Delivery Devices (nasal and pulmonary)
Where necessary, localised isolator technology can be utilised for operator protection (eg when handling more potent molecules) or for reducing bioburden when manufacturing liquid formulations.
