Bend Successfully Rescues Powder-Filled Capsule Program

When a pharmaceutical company encountered a critical setback during the tech transfer of a powder formulation—specifically, poor content uniformity in transfer batches at their chosen CDMO—they turned to Bend Bioscience’s Gainesville, Georgia, facility for a solution.

The challenge posed a significant risk to product consistency and downstream development timelines. Bend’s objective was clear: take over the tech transfer, identify and resolve the source of process variability, and ensure successful scale-up and validation. To meet these goals, Bend rapidly mobilized a multidisciplinary team, drawing on deep expertise in project management, process and equipment engineering, quality control, and quality assurance, all under the guidance of executive leadership.

Backed by more than 40 years of commercial encapsulation experience and a proven track record of delivering billions of unit doses globally, the Georgia team brought the specialized capabilities needed to turn this high-stakes challenge into a success.
