CRANBURY, N.J. and SUZHOU, China, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Porton Advanced Solutions Ltd. ("Porton Advanced") has officially been granted a Drug Manufacturing License (Class C) by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This milestone qualifies Porton Advanced to undertake commercial contract manufacturing for Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) products, extending its CDMO services from process development and clinical production through to the commercialization stage.

Under China's drug manufacturing license administration regulations, a Class C license permits a company to engage in contract manufacturing on behalf of a Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH). This license is a mandatory legal requirement for entities operating in the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) model.

Following successful regulatory inspection of its GMP‑compliant commercial production facilities in China, Porton Advanced is now formally authorized to take on commercial‑scale manufacturing projects at these sites.

Porton Advanced has served more than 200 clients globally. Its quality system is built to align with NMPA, FDA and EMA requirements to ensure compliant, high‑quality project delivery, boasting a 100% success rate for IND submissions. As of now, we have successfully supported our clients to secure 26 global IND approvals from NMPA, FDA, and Medsafe, including the first in vivo CAR-T therapy to receive IND clearance in China. Additionally, Porton Advanced has accumulated extensive experience managing 12 programs in Phase I/II or commercial-stage process modification.

Porton Advanced provides CDMO services for CGT products, including plasmids, lentivirus, cell therapies, in vivo CAR-T, mRNA, and exosomes. Currently, we are supporting a cell therapy project that is nearing a BLA submission. The acquisition of the Drug Manufacturing License demonstrates that Porton Advanced now holds the essential license to offer commercial manufacturing as a CDMO partner.
