Complex and sensitive drugs composed of a monoclonal antibody (mAb), a cytotoxic payload, and a chemical linker. They require well-suited containers to prevent degradation due to linker instability, mAb sensitivity, cytotoxicity, and light sensitivity.

ADCs: Supporting Innovation in Targeted Therapies

The innovative structure of ADCs enables precise delivery to tumor cells while reducing off-target effects.

Most ADCs are lyophilized to preserve linker and payload stability. While IV infusion is common for oncology, alternative routes like subcutaneous delivery are being actively explored.

ADCs Features

The development and commercialization of ADCs come with unique challenges, such as ensuring drug stability, managing lyophilization complexity, and maintaining formulation efficacy. Choosing the right primary packaging is key to overcoming these risks and supporting successful product delivery.

Key Challenges
91 Filled Vial

Extending shelf-life and maintaining drug product stability, mainly for liquid formulations, and particularly those light sensitive

24 Compatibility Drug Container

Minimizing physical (e.g., fogging effect with lyophilized drugs) and chemical (e.g., corrosion and delamination risk with liquid drugs or diluents) interaction with primary packaging components

26A Minimizing Risk False Reject Vials

Reducing scrap and breakage risks during processing (e.g., lyophilization stress) and use by the healthcare operators due to drug toxicity

198 Reduced Glass Flaws (Vials)

Managing small-size batches with minimal waste, ensuring flexible manufacturing and cost-efficiency
