And finally, you will be able to learn more on what Saint-Gobain Life Sciences is willing to offer to supply single-use technologies...

Human Factors Engineering (HFE) process participates in the product development for a safe and effective use by the end-user population. HFE data are under agencies' scrutiny as part of the design control of a drug - device combination product. Timely planning can be challenging during combination product ...

The presentation will look in some detail how aging / stability studies are established and address the following • What is aging / stability? • What is purpose of aging / stability testing? • What about relative humidity? • What risks are involved? • How long is the shelf life of your prod...

Implementing sustainability in pharmaceutical packaging needs a two-way methodology: on the one hand, a scientific, data-driven approach to support today’s industrial solutions; on the other hand, a ground-breaking , never-stopping innovation research to anticipate future evolutions. With this Learning...

• Market needs for a device to deliver high drug loads to lungs. • Introduction to the Orbital device – features and benefits. • Comparative performance of Orbital to other DPI devices. • Different types of molecules and formulations made using different particle engineering technologies, inc...

Packaging is an integral part of the design for pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Not only does one need to take into account the look, feel, and protective qualities of the packaging but design must be considered when determining the sterilization technology. Determining the sterilization techn...

In 2022, the final recommendations of the Product Quality Research Institute were published for Parenteral Drug Products. Apart from the wealth of information and considerations on design of extractable & leachable studies for parenteral drug products in general, it also contains valuable information on sp...

As the number of patients managing chronic diseases continues to increase, self-injection solutions play an important role in enabling the shift towards home care. Identification of potential use errors is a critical task during device development to support patient acceptance and usability. The design of ...

Ability to achieve successful injection of drug or biologic depends on many factors including but not limited to needle diameter, drug viscosity, spring force, lubrication, plunger geometry and material properties. One additional challenge to be considered during verification of the drug delivery system i...

Transitioning drugs from IV to subcutaneous (SC) delivery brings new requirements and impacts program considerations for combination product development. In this session, we identify trade-offs that pharma weighs to de-risk combination product development programs involving large volume subcutaneous (LVSC...

New therapeutic treatments or prophylactic vaccines rely on more complicated drug formulations, often based on biologics. These drugs are highly sensitive and might require low temperature storage to keep them stable over shelf life. These extreme cold supply chain processes, something up to -80°C, provide...

In recent years there are several market trends which are influencing the design of drug delivery devices. The shift to patient care outside the traditional healthcare setting, accelerated by the pandemic, has led to an increase in patient self- treatment. This has also resulted in the need for connected d...

Lyophilization (freeze drying) is a proven process for increasing the shelf life of vaccines, biologics and other injectables. But delivering these products requires several use steps that make them challenging to administer, particularly by patients and caregivers in non-clinical settings. To address thes...
