   In seeking an appropriate manufacturing partner for this early stage clinical programme, LSTM approached several potential suppliers with a request for proposal. An unusual aspect of the programme is the small volume required which the majority of the suppliers could not accommodate within their GMP facility. Of the suppliers approached, only Genibet were able to match the requirements, reducing the risk, but also allowing the proposal to be provided within the budget available. There is also time pressure to select a partner for the rest of the programme to be able to progress to schedule.
