JHP Pharmaceuticals has entered into an agreement with an undisclosed pharmaceutical company to produce supplies of a lyophilized biologic for international, late-phase clinical trials.

Stuart Hinchen, JHP's president and chief executive officer, commented, "We know that customers want to seamlessly progress from clinical batch production to product launch and then commercialization. JHP's established infrastructure and expertise transitioning products from clinical to commercial supply are recognized by customers looking for long-term reliability and continuity when selecting a contract manufacturing organization. Additionally, our cGMP compliance record and experienced staff allows customers to focus on their pressing business needs with confidence."

JHP has successfully supported launches of several products in the U.S. and international markets and manufactures products for sale in 86 countries. The company's Rochester, MI manufacturing site has a 25-year history in contract manufacturing.
