TMC Pharma

Your complete end-to-end partner for pharmaceutical development

TMC is a unique drug development organisation, offering a full range of support services to the Pharma and Biotech industries. We know that no two drug development programs are the same, and we therefore believe that, to maximise success, each client should receive a bespoke approach to their particular drug development requirements and challenges.

TMC Pharma is proud to partner with Genetic Alliance UK and ITN Productions to help raise awareness around the challenges faced by individuals suffering from Orphan Disease, but also the complexities in bringing effective therapeutics to market. Watch to find out more about how TMC helps overcome these challenges.
Orphan Drug specialisation
Orphan disease is defined as a condition that affects fewer than 5 in 10,000 people. This exceptionally low incidence creates significant challenge in the design and execution of clinical trials for new therapeutics.

Here at TMC, we understand those challenges intimately, and our dedicated team of specialists and global Associates are ready to offer that expertise. Our team passionately believe that those affected by Orphan Disease should not feel marginalised in society by their conditions and our team is dedicated in bringing therapies to market that will allow those affected to live as normally as possible.

What our clients say
What We Do
Our development support activities span early pre-clinical phase right through to post-marketing. TMC provides all the functions of a fully-resourced pharmaceutical company and we often provide ‘bolt-on’ services complementing a client’s in-house resource to enable them to have all the development capability appropriate to the stage of their project.

We cover all therapeutic areas but have particular expertise in:

  • Rare and orphan diseases
  • Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Products
    including stem cells and other cell-based therapies
  • Oncology including biologics and immuno-oncology

We have pioneered the early development pathway for novel advanced therapy agents; right from the manufacturing stage.

How We Do It
The TMC network of over 900 personnel (Employees and Associates) includes some of the very best subject-matter experts in medicinal product development.

Each project team is hand-picked to match the needs of a client. The team evolve smoothly along with the progress of the project, responding intelligently to the specific needs at each stage of development, driving the project to a successful conclusion.

This approach makes us nimble, light on our feet, flexible and cost-effective.

Where We Do It

TMC is working all over the Globe. We have offices and hubs in key countries – particularly in the EU, USA, UK and Japan.

Our core team of highly-experienced Senior Executives in TMC’s Head Office collaborate with our loyal and established network of Associates located around the world.

We are continuously engaging with new Associates as required in order to provide expert current, local knowledge.

The TMC Way Of Working
