Dedicated to solving complex problems and managing increasingly demanding products—we’re committed to high potency API excellence
As the pharmaceutical industry improves highly potent therapeutic targeting using small and large molecule approaches, the demand for high-potency API (HPAPI) continues to increase. With extensive HPAPI process development and production experience for small and large molecule APIs, BIOVECTRA is here to advance your project. Complex products that require specific handling, conjugation, or other specialized processing are areas where BIOVECTRA shines.
We offer pilot-to-commercial-scale HPAPI capabilities, providing full support throughout the product life cycle
Fortified Supply Assurance
Deeply Committed to Proper HPAPI Handling
Knowing just how high the stakes are and the liability our clients face, we take HPAPI very seriously. Ongoing and thorough team training, the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), advanced containment expertise, and other critical elements of successful HPAPI production are available for your HPAPI program’s deployment.
Extensive HPAPI Experience
Our first commercial-scale HPAPI process was validated nearly twenty years ago. Since then, we have continually strengthened our capabilities managing increasingly challenging products. BIOVECTRA exceeds Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) compliance standards through comprehensive, highly potent material handling training and extensive environmental monitoring using industrial hygiene methods.
Improved Process Economics
Application of Process Automation Technologies Aid Containment
Process automation technologies (PAT) are used across BIOVECTRA’s operation but are especially critical for high potency API production. Continuous monitoring reduces manual sampling protecting both products and workers, as well as creating greater efficiencies.
Processing Scales for the Full Product Life Cycle
We offer production scales for a product’s entire life cycle—clinical, pilot, small-batch, and commercial production—within one organization, facilitating seamless product progression from clinical development to commercialization and efficient handoffs.
Accelerated Speed-to-Market
Strong Relationships with Regulators
BIOVECTRA has strong relationships with North American regulatory bodies (FDA, Health Canada) enabling expedited New Substance Notifications, ensuring timely scale-up and commercial production. Additionally, BIOVECTRA’s clients benefit from Health Canada’s mutual recognition agreements with the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, European Medicines Agency, and Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration.

Specialized HPAPI Formulation Capabilities
Our team is highly experienced with a diverse range of HPAPI drugs, including nanoparticle and depot formulations.
Development of New Safety Protocols
Many HPAPI manufacturing processes involve new chemical entities (NCE) or new biologic entities (NBE). BIOVECTRA has experience developing safety protocols for both NCEs and NBEs. Combining our EHS and technical process development expertise, we establish paths to handle new products with limited information. Doing so generates missing data for our clients, allowing clinical development to progress.
