WHITEPAPER - Container Selection for a Highly Sensitive Drug Product: A Success Story


Our client, a leading pharmaceutical company, came to us for a solution to a very specific problem. They needed a staked needle prefilled syringe (PFS) in a disposable auto-injector for their high-concentration monoclonal antibody product. These products are among the most sensitive drugs on the market, and thus require advanced containment solutions and delivery systems. They are particularly sensitive to drug-container interactions and silicone particles, so maintaining drug stability and integrity is especially difficult.

The client had specifically encountered out-of-specification injection times during stability testing. Injection time is a particular concern for pharmaceutical companies, as it is a major factor in the patient experience to receive the correct dose and therefore critical to the success of a drug delivery system. If left unremedied, these out-of specification results could additionally lead to serious consequences for the client, including project delays, last minute firefighting and ultimately the need to change the primary container.

As a leading global provider of drug containment and delivery solutions to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries, Stevanato Group was able to work closely with the client to find an appropriate solution.
