INJECTABLE DRUG DELIVERY RESOURCES

INJECTABLE DRUG DELIVERY SOLUTIONS

  • 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.

  • West’s DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform was developed to help customers mitigate issues during the early phase of their component selection.

  • A next‑generation injectable system uses shorter, thinner needles to reduce injection risk, lower force and time requirements, and improve comfort and usability for administering viscous formulations.

  • Why take the risk of selecting individual components that may not work well together? The West Ready Pack™ containment system, with proven container closure integrity, provides risk mitigation, convenience, and small quantities.

  • 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. In short, we consistently make the insoluble soluble.

  • Emergency‑readiness programs strengthen response with dependable countermeasures, rapid‑action tools, and decades of expertise supporting teams facing chemical, biological, and other high‑risk threats.

  • 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.

  • Capabilities that improve efficiency and accelerate development.

    B. Braun's OEM Division offers a variety of in-house molding capabilities including injection molding, insert molding and over molding. They own a primary 400,000-square-foot U.S. plant that includes a 16,500-square-foot ISO Class 8 molding facility housing some of B. Braun’s 80 injection molding presses, which range from 55-330 tons.

  • Advanced nanotechnology improves biologics with higher drug loads, better stability, new delivery routes, and enhanced performance in injectables, inhalation, and long‑acting therapies.

  • AST aseptic filling products address the unique processing requirements of biologics manufacturing to gently care for biologic products during the fill-finish process. Their highly accurate peristaltic dosing system uses single-use pharmaceutical grade tubing that has been optimized to keep shear stress to an absolute minimum. When exiting the fluid path through the filling needle, the motion control system maintains the fill needle within the container and slowly rises as the product is being dispensed to minimize splashing and foaming that could introduce stress to the product. Temperature controlled filling is also possible with the ASEPTiCell® and GENiSYS® systems. AST has experience dosing products at temperatures as low as 3°C.
