INJECTABLE DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES

Delivered _by _DeGrazio_Logo_Color_2 Unpacking The FDA Draft Guidance On Container Closure Systems

In this article, Fran DeGrazio reflects on the significance of the FDA Draft Guidance on Container Closure Systems, the first update since 1999. DeGrazio places the CCS draft guidance in the current context of science-based and risk-based product development for combination products and other injectable drug product delivery systems. She also addresses the integration of CCS guidance into the development organization’s QMS (Quality Management System).

INJECTABLE DRUG DELIVERY RESOURCES

INJECTABLE DRUG DELIVERY SOLUTIONS

  • Sterile fill-finish and device assembly capabilities span global sites, offering scalable solutions, analytical testing, and regulatory compliance for combination products and small-batch technical programs.

  • Ascendia’s team of scientists have decades of combined experience in sterile supplies for clinical trials, making them expert at solving the most difficult formulation challenges.

  • Societal specializes in modified-release formulations, including those for high potent and DEA controlled substances.

  • By partnering with Battelle, your organization can reduce risks and save on investment costs, leading to more successful and sustainable outcomes.

  • Integrated formulation, analytical, and bioanalytical capabilities plus advanced facilities tackle complex chemistry, delivering accurate data, regulatory confidence, and smooth study progression.

  • Battelle provides end-to-end medical device development services, combining engineering, regulatory, and human-centric design to accelerate innovation from concept through commercialization across diverse therapeutic areas.

  • As part of Stevanato Group’s commitment to R&D, our analytical testing facilities focus on investigating physico-chemical properties of primary packaging materials and components and studying the interactions between container closure system and drugs. Stevanato Group relies on a multi-disciplinary team of highly skilled professionals, including, scientists, engineers, pharmaceutical chemists and biotechnologists. Their knowledge and experience covers a range of specialized areas including container closure systems and drug-delivery devices.

  • More than a service provider, we act as an extension of your team, accelerating your drug’s journey from late-stage clinical development to commercial supply.

  • Experienced CDMOs will implement a cGMP aseptic manufacturing and sterile fill-finish policy to improve drug bioavailability. Aseptic fill-finish is a process in which the drug product, container, and container closure are sterilized separately and then integrated. Combining the drug, container, and closure in a clean room using special equipment that is self-contained in a sterile environment meets FDA guidelines related to cGMP.

  • Ascendia specializes in the development of market suitable formulations for poorly water soluble drug substances. Based on the pre-formulation data package and the delivery requirements for the product, we recommend a comprehensive formulation development strategy. We understand that each formulation is unique and must address the specific challenges associated with poor solubility, inadequate bioavailability, and/or unacceptable physical/chemical stability. We also understand the urgency companies have for progressing their pipeline, and our approach maximizes the probability of success by exploring multiple formulation options in parallel if necessary.
