Bringing new pharmaceutical products to market is a time consuming and costly process and identifying reliable and effective contract development and manufacturing organizations to work with new drug developers helps significantly streamline that procedure. The Life Science Leader CMO Leadership Awards, based on collected data from the Industry Standard Research (ISR) Contract Manufacturing Quality Benchmarking annual survey, is designed to better serve biopharmaceutical executives in their CMO selection process.

ISR evaluates more than 80 CMOs and limits respondents to evaluating only those companies with which they have worked within the previous 18 months. This level of qualification ensures that quality ratings are based on actual, recent involvement with an organization that is backed by experiential data and provides executives an efficient means of vetting potential CMO partners who are considered most reputable in the industry. The five award core categories include:

Capabilities--the CMO facilities has most up-to-date manufacturing technologies; Full range of manufacturing for required dosage forms; Proven ability to manufacture API; Provides regulatory support for filing; Stability testing and storage capabilities.
