Biologic drug formulations are becoming the focus of many treatments -- from immunotherapeutics to cell and gene therapies. This segment’s dynamics continue to evolve at a pace where new formulations are being discovered rapidly, and in some instances, traditional packaging solutions are becoming increasingly incompatible. For example, a cure for a rare disease may lack the right containment solution. Certainly, this demands a new solution be brought to the market in order to treat patients in need.
These new drugs differ from their traditional small-molecule counterparts in that unfavorable interactions with primary packaging components are much more of a concern. For example, a glass vial can delaminate, leading to unwanted glass flakes in a drug formulation. Furthermore, contamination of syringes with heavy metals, i.e., tungsten, can result in complexation with drug formulation and subsequent deactivation.
At West, we offer a solution that can accommodate these concerns: Daikyo Crystal Zenith® cyclic olefin polymer containment and delivery systems – a high-performance alternative to glass. It is an integrated life-cycle solution that is designed to protect drug safety, purity and efficacy – from development through delivery. Keeping up with the market trend of biologics, West can provide the biopharmaceutical industry with a solution to administer lifesaving medications safely and effectively.
