PLAJEXâ„¢ ready-to-fill polymer syringes with a focus on biotherapeutics
The new era of biotherapeutics has prompted the parenteral drug development business into a changing injectable landscape due to the physical and chemical sensitivity of these drug products. In particular, Pre-Fillable Syringes are more likely to induce interactions that could affect immunogenicity and product safety.
The pharma industry has a responsibility to ensure the safety and efficacy of its drugs; therefore, it is necessary to assess each step of development, from raw materials to the final product. It is of utmost importance to confirm that the drug product remains stable when stored in drug containers. The heightened regulatory scrutiny is also reflected in the guidelines that have been produced by various regulatory bodies and organizations, such as the FDA, PQRI and Pharmacopoeia. Appropriate selection of primary packaging is critical and the pharma industry is increasingly choosing a polymer prefilled syringe.
This webinar will afford the audience a complete overview of the benefits of selecting a polymer system, with a focus on the features of TERUMO’s PLAJEXâ„¢ ready-to-fill polymer syringe system, which minimizes interactions with therapeutic proteins. More specifically the results of a formal extractable study on the components of this PFS system and the overview of the analytical study matrix and study set-up will be presented and discussed.
