Relief Therapeutics Announces Swissmedic Approval and Operation of New Good Manufacturing Practice-Compliant Laboratory

The state-of-the-art quality control and research and development laboratory in Balerna, Switzerland is run by APR Applied Pharma Research SA, a Relief Therapeutics subsidiary

GENEVA (May 15, 2023) – RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA (SIX: RLF, OTCQB: RLFFD, RLFTD) (Relief Therapeutics, or the Company), a biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering innovative treatment options with the potential for transformative outcomes to benefit those suffering from select specialty and rare diseases, today announced its new state-of-the-art laboratory has been audited and approved by the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products (Swissmedic) and meets Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. Swissmedic is the national authorization and supervisory authority for drugs and medical products and devices.

The next-generation laboratory in Balerna, Switzerland is run by Relief Therapeutics’ subsidiary APR Applied Pharma Research SA (APR) and offers a comprehensive suite of analytical and development services for internal projects and provides external clients with data and full documentation to meet current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP), International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and international regulatory authority requirements.

“GMP compliance is a critical achievement for our laboratory, enabling us to create, safeguard and supply high-quality products to patients and healthcare providers as well as enable the future submissions of product files to regulatory authorities,” said Paolo Galfetti, chief operating officer of Relief Therapeutics and chief executive officer of APR. “Our new GMP lab is designed to meet forthcoming pharmaceutical challenges and is fully integrated with the current technical and analytical R&D capabilities, with more than 800 m2 equipped for analytical and formulation development of solid and non-solid dosage forms.”

The modern analytical laboratory is part of APR’s overall upgrade of the research and development facilities and equipment in Balerna, which now includes four new state-of-the-art high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems equipped for method scouting, new analytical scales, viscometers, physical testing instruments as well as a new packaging area equipped with filling and blistering machines to pack research and development prototypes for stability studies.

“We are excited that our new GMP-compliant lab in Balerna, where innovation is driven by our experienced and highly talented employees, is now Swissmedic-approved and operational,” said Jack Weinstein, chief executive officer of Relief Therapeutics. “APR is a trusted and experienced formulator and developer, which has been validated by the breadth and quality of its contract service partners and products that have been developed over more than 30 years.”

GMP requires manufacturers to ensure their products are safe and effective and cGMP requires manufactures to employ technologies and systems that are up to date and comply with GMP regulations with systems that assure proper design, monitoring and control of manufacturing processes and facilities.
