Basel, Switzerland and San Francisco, CA, USA, 17 July 2019 – Lonza and Vineti announced today their partnership in the cell and gene therapy field and across Lonza's 'vein-to-vein' delivery network. As a part of this commitment, both Lonza and Vineti become preferred partners, respectively for patient tissue tracking and for contract development and manufacturing services in cell and gene therapy.
The unique partnership comprises a fully integrated offering including logistics, scheduling, distribution, Chain of Condition, Chain of Custody, Chain of Identity, and Lonza’s proprietary solutions such as MODA-ES™. With the goal of seamless service for Lonza's customers and their patients, Lonza and its partners will work to remove the supply chain hurdles faced by developers of personalized therapeutics - including autologous therapies, matched-allogeneic therapies, and personalized cancer vaccines - as they prepare for the commercial launch of their therapies.
The Vineti supply chain orchestration (SCO) platform, the only independent solution known today to serve commercial cell & gene therapy products, will help Lonza’s customers to keep a real-time end-to-end connection between Lonza and the points of care that prescribe their therapies. Together, the Lonza-Vineti solution will seek to provide biopharmaceutical developers with a pre-integrated SCO and manufacturing system that will offer digital, optimized end-to-end traceability and control. The partnership aims to establish faster, simpler operations and scale for cell and gene therapies, and to reduce the time that biopharmaceutical developers need to spend evaluating, implementing, and validating different systems. The partnership will also be working to provide this integrated system worldwide, using Lonza’s global manufacturing presence and Vineti’s ever-expanding network of leading medical centers. The Lonza-Vineti integrated solution will include Lonza’s proprietary solutions such as MODA-ES™, a next-generation electronic batch record execution solution that offers specific functionalities for cell and gene therapies manufacturing.
