The Exton West without Borders campaign came to a close with the annual picnic on Friday, June 3. This year the campaign benefitted the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), one of the most respected organizations dedicated to finding a cure for blood cancers and providing important support services for those in our community affected by this disease.
According to their website, “the mission of the LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.” The organization is the voice for patients and works to ensure access to treatment.
Even though the picnic took place inside, due to inclement weather, no one’s spirit was dampened. In addition to a picnic lunch and raffle drawing, representatives from LLS were on hand to celebrate along with West employees. Mark Rodgers, who shared his inspiring survivor story at the campaign kickoff, attended the picnic and was honored for the battle he overcame as a young child. West presented Mark with a backpack accompanied by gifts as he goes on to start his freshman year at West Chester University.
In October, West will send team “Walking on the West Side” to both the Chester County and Philadelphia Light the Night Walks. Light The Night Walks are an important part of LLS’ total fundraising efforts and funds raised are directed to blood cancer research.
LLS hopes you will walk with them at Light the Night in any location! To register for a Light the Night Walk, please click here.
At West, we have adopted the philosophy that there are no IT projects, only business projects. Even business projects with a high dependence on IT are still business projects that require a business case with a measurable return on the investment. During the past year, West has been working to develop a unified project and portfolio management process. The initiative’s main goal is to ensure that we derive the full value from all business investments, including those that require IT enablement.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are faced with numerous challenges to produce, package, and ship products successfully to the patient or care giver. Common concerns for all pharmaceutical manufactures include meeting targeted timelines, guarding against drug shortages, increasing speed to market, and generating revenue. Maximizing operating speeds and minimizing operating down time are critical factors for all stakeholders.
In the pharmaceutical industry, safety and quality are paramount. One critical aspect of ensuring the safety of pharmaceutical products is extractables and leachables (E&L) testing. This testing process examines the potential migration of substances from containers, packaging materials, and drug delivery systems into the drug products themselves. By understanding the reasoning behind E&L testing, we can appreciate its role in protecting public health and enhancing customer trust. West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. is a leader in developing comprehensive studies to evaluate container closure systems in real world simulations, providing customers with a better understanding of their leachable profile and how that could affect drug stability.
Particles in parenteral drug products have been a major source of product recalls in recent years (>100 from 2010-16). They are especially problematic for biologic drug products, where they can induce formation of protein particulates that may have immunogenic effects.
The International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) has issued <em>Guidelines for Elemental Impurities</em> to limit patient exposure to potentially toxic elements above a specified limit during their course of treatment.
