CDMO (contract development and manufacturing organisation)
A company that makes drugs for other companies. Most ADCs, biologics, and cell therapies are made by a handful of them.
Capacity, containment (for ADC payloads), and regulatory track record at CDMOs such as Lonza, WuXi, Samsung Biologics, and Catalent determine timelines for the whole field; geopolitical measures (US BIOSECURE Act, 2024-25) are reshaping sourcing away from China-based sites.
