BD to showcase prefillable syringes portfolio at Pharmapack

BD, a global medical technology company, will showcase numerous drug delivery innovations at Pharmapack 2024, which will take place 24-25 January in Paris.

BD will participate in several educational sessions during the conference sharing insights that build on decades of expertise in partnering with the biopharmaceutical industry.

At the event, BD will host two, in-person learning labs:

• “Oxygen Permeability Considerations and Performance for Prefillable Syringes” on 24th January, from 15:10 – 15:40 presented by Guillaume LeHee, R&D staff engineer.
• “Challenges of E&L Experience” on 25th January, from 12:10 – 12:40 presented by Cecile Perret, DCP Analytical Expert.

BD will also conduct an interactive workshop on “Transforming Pharma Fill/Finish with RFID-Enabled PFS: Use Cases and Live Demo” on 24th January, from 14:30-15:10. Speakers are Yacine Haddadi, global marketing manager at BD and Jenni Krohn, market development manager at Avery Dennison Smartrac.

BD is also sponsoring a conference on Large Volume Drug Delivery on 24th January, from 14:15 – 17:10. Yitian Xiao, scientific business development leader from BD will present "De-risking combination product development with a robust ISO-10993-1 (2018) testing strategy to support biocompatibility and minimise development timelines" from 15:10 – 15:35.  Then, a panel discussion will bring together industry experts to discuss the future of large volume drug delivery from 16:10 – 17:10. Beth DiLauri, director of portfolio marketing from BD, will participate in the panel discussion.

At the booth, BD will share its portfolio of products, services and integrated solutions to help meet the needs of pharma and biotech companies developing combination products. BD experts will be on site to discuss a variety of topics related to the next generation of drug delivery.

• For vaccination needs, BD offers a portfolio of prefillable syringes (PFS) including BD Effivax Glass Prefillable Syringe – a next-generation glass prefillable syringe that has been designed in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies to meet the complex and evolving needs of vaccine manufacturing. BD Effivax Glass Prefillable Syringe sets a new standard in performance for vaccine PFS with new and tightened specifications for processability, cosmetics, and integrity.
• BD is working to support the delivery of medications that address chronic disease outcomes in areas such as diabetes, obesity, oncology and autoimmune disorders, and also to meet the need for technologies that enable care to be delivered in new settings. BD’s advanced drug delivery systems portfolio offers self-injection systems that support the subcutaneous delivery of drugs across a range of volume and viscosity needs. This includes the BD Libertas Wearable injector – designed for the subcutaneous delivery of large volume, high-viscosity biologics in a single-use, disposable “ready-to-use” system for patient administration with no assembly required; and BD Evolve On-body Injector – a programmable, variable dose on-body injector. The BD Evolve On-body Injector offers pharmaceutical companies a wearable solution that enables new delivery formats in alternate settings and is designed to enable subcutaneous administration of up to 3 mL of medication, with up to three days of wear.
• BD also helps customers who want to co-pack or co-deliver administration devices with their drugs. Typically, they do so to support proper administration, or as a service to the end user, or to control the drug administration material (e.g., in clinical trials). BD provides reconstitution, injection and infusion devices. These devices may be used for complex administration routes (such as ophthalmic drug reconstitution), as well as for cell and gene therapies (C&GT), home use of chronic drugs or vaccination campaigns.
• A complete range of services will be showcased across BD Pharmaceutical Services and Solutions and ZebraSci Inc. combination product services to help pharma companies achieve their goals from development to launch.
• Lastly, BD will be convening attendees at an Innovation station featuring new product innovations and concepts that focus on providing product traceability to support quality and operations excellence, digital connectivity of injection data and a flexible large-volume solution platform designed to support patients’ medication delivery needs.

BD is committed to driving innovation for combination products across the design space, and the company looks forward to the on-site collaboration with biopharmaceutical partners.
