Webinar

Simplify your move from a vial to a prefilled syringe

16 October 2024

2:00pm

This webinar explores the key considerations in component selection when moving from a vial to a prefilled syringe during biologic drug development.

Biologics are transforming the healthcare landscape, broadening treatment options, and improving patient outcomes. This webinar will discuss the three key trends that are shaping the lifecycle planning for containment and delivery of these biologics drug products:

  1. Shift in route of administration
  2. Regulations including Annex 1 and Medical Device Regulation (MDR)
  3. Increasing competition and price pressure

Transitioning from a vial to a prefilled syringe (PFS) is a complex process, and it is important to understand the impact that your drug packaging selection can have on the success of the lifecycle of the drug, in all packaging formats that you plan to bring to market.

Join us for this insightful webinar with experts from West Pharmaceutical Services to discuss how collaboration with your packaging supplier early in the drug development process can help the navigation of increased complex regulatory requirements and help reduce time in your packaging development work.

Key learning points:

  • Understand key regulations impacting the transition from vial to PFS
  • How selection of container closure materials can reduce time in your packaging development work
  • Explore how syringe plungers can help enhance performance in syringes and self-administration devices.
