On December 10, Tongrui Biopharmaceuticals (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Tongrui Bio”) successfully obtained the Class A Radiation Safety License once again. This achievement marks another breakthrough following its initial acquisition of the license in September 2023, further demonstrating the professionalism and efficiency of the Tongrui team.


This marks Tongrui Bio’s further expansion in the field of radionuclide production and handling. This significant milestone also demonstrates recognition by relevant authorities of Tongrui Bio’s expertise in multiple specialized areas, including nuclear physics, radiochemistry, and radiation safety.


The adjustment and upgrade of the radiation safety license are mainly reflected in three aspects:


01


R&D Laboratory Upgrade | Class A Workplace

The R&D Laboratory Has Been Upgraded from a Class B Workplace toGrade A, markingLaboratory in Radionuclide Activity, Facilities and Equipment, and Personnel Qualificationsranks first in China in these aspects. The number of operable radionuclide types has increased by 16, on top of the original 10.Total of 26 types, including177Lu、 223Ra、225Ac、212Pb、18F、68Ga、64Cu、89Zr, etc.;

Addition to the Pilot Production Area Based on the Existing Production Line225Ac and227ThProduction Lines. Currently, there are three workshops and five production lines, of which four are automated production lines and one is a manual production line. Notably,This is also China’s first fully automated production line for radiolabeling, sterile filling, labeling, and packaging with independent intellectual property rights.This production line adheres to world-class design concepts and leverages intelligent technologies to address the pain points associated with manual preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. By employing specialized technologies such as fully automated robotics, automatic visual inspection, and online labeling, it achieves end-to-end automated production. The facility fully complies with China’s GMP as well as the cGMP standards of the United States and the European Union, minimizing occupational exposure hazards for production technical staff and operators throughout the entire manufacturing process. Furthermore, the production line resolves issues related to the limited capacity of existing equipment and the lack of digital traceability, thereby supporting supply demands for R&D, clinical samples, and commercial batches.Currently, this GMP-grade automated production line has produced multiple batches.177Lu-Class First-in-Class Drug: Facilitating Successful IND Filing

The facility is equipped with a positron cyclotron, which canIn-House Production18F、68Ga、64Cu、89Zr radionuclides. Independently prepared by the company64Cu currently has a per-batch yield of >1 Ci, with quality meeting IAEA standards.64Cu-labeled IIT has been validated in over 100 human imaging cases, demonstrating significant clinical value for patient screening, preoperative staging, and recurrence monitoring.



Conclusion


Tongrui Biopharma handles more than 30 diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides. Leveraging state-of-the-art radiopharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing facilities, as well as a high-caliber multidisciplinary team with core competencies in radiochemistry, molecular imaging, dosimetry, and translational medicine, Tongrui Biopharma’s R&D platform covers the entire drug development process, including radiopharmaceutical process development, quality research, quality control, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and safety evaluation. On one hand, Tongrui Biopharma provides one-stop CRDMO services to radiopharmaceutical companies, ranging from CRO services for early-stage discovery and PCC validation to IND filing, clinical supply, and commercial manufacturing, including downstream logistics and distribution. Tongrui Biopharma has established stable channels for radionuclide supply and product logistics, ensuring efficient, stable, and comprehensive operation of its supply chain system, with coverage across the Asia-Pacific region. On the other hand, Tongrui Biopharma offers molecular imaging CRO and companion diagnostic development services to conventional pharmaceutical companies, as well as validation services to assess the druggability of new drugs targeting innovative indications. Since launching its CRDMO services,Tongrui Biotech has cumulatively served 4 CDMO projects, 20+ theranostics and molecular imaging CRO projects, as well as multiple ongoing177Lu、225Ac-labeled radiopharmaceuticals and RDC drug development projects.


Looking ahead, Tongrui Biopharma will leverage its radiopharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing base compliant with global cGMP standards, along with state-of-the-art radioactive R&D and production facilities, to build an open “industry-academia-research-application” CRDMO service platform, continuously empowering and accelerating the new drug development process.
