Ensuring Expedited Speed to Market
Speed to market can determine the success of your product. Emerging companies take, on average, two years longer than established companies to get drugs to market. Understanding the importance and implications of packaging decisions early in your process can reduce risk to your program and prevent delays to market.
Staying Updated with Regulatory Changes
Constantly changing regulations and increasing scrutiny around quality requirements adds complexity. Do you have the expertise to interpret these regulations and guidances to avoid compliance challenges?
Managing Limited Resources
Are you having trouble determining where you need to focus your team? With a leaner organization it’s important to make efficient use of your limited resources.
Start Packaging Development Early
By obtaining information and proactively mapping out your approach early on to better understand the decisions you need to make around your fill/finish strategy, you can avoid the risk of making an investment in equipment or processes that may not meet your long-term needs.
Establishing a Container Closure System
Container closure systems should maintain the sterility and quality of final drug products throughout their shelf life. Therefore, it is critical to find components that will work as a system, fitting dimensionally together, to ensure container closure integrity.
Protecting Your Drug Product
Interactions between drug product and components can impact the safety, efficacy and shelf life of your product. It is important to select components that will protect, store and deliver your product to the patient. This is often done with the use of barrier coatings, such as FluroTec™ film, a globally used coating in at least 130 approved products that can prevent chemical migration from the elastomer to the drug product.
Minimizing Particulate Risk
Subvisible particulate continues to be a significant patient safety concern and is the subject of growing regulatory scrutiny. Careful evaluation and selection of components can ensure you are addressing the risk of particulate contamination. Watch our webinar Understanding & Applying the updated FDA Guidance: Inspection of Injectable Products for Visible Particulate (link) for an overview of the draft FDA guidance on the inspection of injectable products for visible particulates and discussion on how to apply the recommendations.
Planning for Scale Up
Ensuring that you are using components what will allow for scale up to commercial manufacturing quantities is important. However, this often requires the unnecessary purchase of commercial quantities early in the development process leading to additional cost and waste of unused quantities.
The following resources can help you understand how component selection can impact your budget and speed to market.
