Lonza Plans Output of Conjugate Drugs

May 14, 2007 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 85, Issue 20

Custom manufacturer Lonza plans to start large-scale production of antibody-drug conjugates, a targeted therapy in which an antibody is coupled to a highly active chemical substance. Lonza says it will open a plant in Visp, Switzerland, by 2008 with capacity for more than 100 kg of the conjugates annually. Uwe Böhlke, Lonza's head of exclusive synthesis, says the investment "is a perfect match with Lonza's capabilities and technologies in both chemical and mammalian antibody manufacture."
