The specific distinctions of TTD-IL services include:
- Commitment to open communication and the establishment of strategic partnerships that capitalize on the strengths of both parties involved.
- Employing full-time PhD level scientists dedicated to supporting research and development, ensuring continuity in their efforts.
- Meticulous experimental design and the implementation of validated standard operating procedures to guarantee reproducibility.
- Maintaining confidentiality in creating data packages tailored to their partners, while safeguarding intellectual property assets.
- Efficient timelines and measurable milestones, which facilitate informed go/no-go decisions and contribute to the de-risking of investments.
The TTD-IL model is designed to offer specialized expertise in early-stage formulation development, providing the flexibility necessary to experiment with various conditions and fine-tune parameters. This approach is distinct from traditional CRO or CMO models, which may not offer the same level of adaptability in the early phases of development. By collaborating with Northeastern University, TTD-IL taps into a broad spectrum of research and technological capabilities across various colleges, benefiting from a robust research infrastructure equipped with cutting-edge facilities and equipment essential for drug discovery and development processes.
Furthermore, TTD-IL’s partnerships with established CROs like Charles River Labs and Ascendia Pharmaceuticals enhance its ability to push forward technological advancements into critical stages such as large animal studies, GLP-compliant toxicology and safety assessments, as well as GMP-compliant manufacturing and scaling operations. The integration with a comprehensive network of clinical research facilities and academic medical centers positions TTD-IL favorably to transition into first-in-human clinical trials.
