Turnkey cleanroom modules

Valicare supports you in bringing your ATMPs to production on time.

The number of clinical trials and approvals for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) is increasing rapidly on a global scale. In the future, their enormous potential will enable therapies for a wide range of diseases which were previously uncurable.

Bottlenecks at contract manufacturers and production facilities

Since ATMPs must be manufactured aseptically and in accordance with the requirements of good manufacturing practice (part 4 of EU GMP guideline), the investment in facilities and know-how is high.

The challenge of personnel and premises capacities can often not be solved internally. Accessing external contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) that specialize in ATMPs is difficult and time-consuming, as demand far exceeds supply. This results in long waiting times and the required market supply for an approval procedure can often not be guaranteed.

GMP cleanroom modules for ATMP production

Valicare offers you a unique opportunity: In cooperation with the engineering and project management department of our parent company Syntegon, a globally active manufacturer of processing and packaging equipment, Valicare designs flexible cleanroom modules for the GMP-compliant development and production of starting materials through to investigational clinical trial ATMP products (iATMPs). These turnkey GMP-compliant cleanroom modules are specifically tailored to your individual requirements.

Valicare's cult.tainer concept primarily relates to the manufacture of ATMPs, while the overall valicare.tainer concept includes aspects such as the manufacture of starting materials, quality control, storage, automation, and filling. All modules can be combined to meet specific customer and process requirements.

cult.tainer - investigational ATMPs from development to application

We start with a concept workshop to gain a detailed overview of the planned project.

Based on the results, SIS fulfills the following tasks:

  • Creation of a construction concept, layout, and functional specification for the cult.tainer
  • Planning of design, approval, and execution
  • Delivery, engineering, and installation of the cult.tainer
  • Project management, installation supervision, and object support

Valicare takes over the following tasks:

  • Project management for the GMP process to be established in the cult.tainer and the associated tasks for the overall process ("from bench to bedside")
  • Research and qualification of suppliers
  • Pharmaceutical procurement of equipment for the manufacturing, control, and storage of ATMPs

cult.tainer® – house your manufacturing process of cell and tissue products

The cult.tainer® developed by Valicare is a module measuring up to 470 square meters (5059 square feet) in which individual ATMPs (somatic cell or gene therapeutics, stem cells, or biotechnologically processed tissue products) can be manufactured in parallel in two rooms. The module contains all the rooms required for process and quality control. If required, storage, airlocks, office, and sanitary facilities can also be integrated. The cult.tainer can be extended with a cleanroom class C connection module for automated processes and closed systems.

Planning of premises and achieving GMP-compliance

Valicare can plan your premises including the calculation of the investment costs (TIC) and the system in cooperation with the design department System Integrated Solutions (SIS) of our parent company Syntegon. Accompanying the system services with the required GMP services is a great advantage for our customers.

Your advantages:

  • Fully equipped and qualified GMP-compliant cleanroom according to your specifications
  • Support in the development and establishment of the GMP process and system

Once set up correctly, Valicare ensures translation into a GMP-compliant manufacturing process.

Valicare offers special services such as

  • Accompanying consulting
  • Risk and quality management to ensure GMP compliance
  • Application for manufacturing authorization

We support you with

  • Analysis, development, and description of all relevant processes
  • Creation of flow diagrams
  • Planning, execution, and documentation of all upcoming risk-based qualification and validation tasks
  • Specification and risk-based categorization of goods, intermediate and end products
  • Supplier research and qualification
  • Document generation for the higher-level quality assurance processes
  • Verification of cleaning procedures
  • Data storage/IT concept and validation of computerized systems
  • Organizational chart of responsibilities and function holders
  • Master documents such as site master file (SMF), validation (VMP), and hygiene master plan (HMP)
  • Vendor assignment of responsibility agreements (VAAs)
  • Pharmacovigilance system (for clinical investigational medicinal products)
  • Application, discussion, and support of a scientific advice procedure at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute (PEI)
  • Generation of applications for manufacturing authorization
  • Execution support for the application and ethics vote of the clinical trial
  • Management of investigational medicinal product logistics

In cooperation with Syntegon's SIS design department, Valicare manages the rapid construction of the cult.tainer®. The qualified and experienced Valicare engineers then carry out the qualification and commissioning of the equipment and supply systems.

Backed by all necessary competencies and by providing the regulatory functions, Valicare can - if necessary - start up manufacturing under interim management and hand over keys and manufacturing to you after the first investigational medicinal products (iATMPs) have been prepared.

Valicare will be happy to take on the recruitment, training, and induction of operational personnel in accordance with the pharmaceutical operating concept and can provide temporary personnel for key positions.

For decades, experts from Valicare and Syntegon have been taking care of topics related to cleanrooms and processes that are carried out in compliance with GMP and ISO standards. All modules designed for the production of ATMPs comply with the requirements of the EU GMP guidelines including Annex 1. Our experts will be pleased to inform you about the standards and guidelines applicable to these modules and can explain in detail how the design, technical requirements, and requirements for raw and starting materials, intermediate and end products are taken into account. Benefit from the great flexibility of the valicare.tainer® system!
