GMP Manufacturing

Reliable Clinical Supply Built for Speed, Quality, and Scale

Corealis Pharma provides GMP clinical manufacturing services for oral solid dosage forms designed to support Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. Our integrated facilities and experienced teams enable the seamless transition from formulation development to clinical production, ensuring that processes are robust, scalable, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

From early clinical batches to more advanced programs, we manufacture high-quality drug products with the speed and flexibility required by biotech innovators.

From Development to Clinical Manufacturing with Confidence

GMP clinical manufacturing is where development is translated into a reproducible, high-quality drug product. At Corealis, we produce oral solid drug products using processes that are designed during formulation development and optimized for clinical supply.

Our integrated environment ensures continuity between development and manufacturing, minimizing risk and enabling efficient progression into clinical trials. Whether producing small early-phase batches or preparing for more advanced studies, we deliver reliable, high-quality clinical materials.

Our GMP Manufacturing Workflow

  1. Process Transfer & Preparation

    Formulation and process knowledge is transferred into GMP manufacturing with defined batch records and documentation.


  2. Process Optimization & Scale-Up

    Manufacturing processes are refined to ensure consistency, robustness, and scalability.


  3. GMP Batch Manufacturing

    Clinical batches are produced under GMP conditions using validated equipment and controlled environments. Environmental controls maintain 20°C ± 3°C and 40% RH ± 5%, supporting low-humidity API/formulation requirements.  


  4. Release & Documentation

    Finished products undergo analytical testing, quality review, and release to support clinical trial use.
