As the complexity of mAbs continues to grow, developers explore the potential of new techniques and expression systems. The development of mAbs (monoclonal antibodies) has come a long way since 1986, when the first mAb, Orthoclone OKT3, received approval for clinical use. Over the past 30 years, mAb production has become streamlined, efficient, and highly [...]
Challenges of adapting vaccines for oral administration remain significant, but emerging techniques promise greater flexibility and efficiency. Pressures to streamline development and production continue to ramp up in many areas of the pharmaceutical industry. This is particularly true in the field of solid oral dosage forms for vaccines, which now account for more than 60 [...]
New packaging materials, disposable devices and automated systems offer enhanced performance. The core goals of an aseptic fill and finish process have remained essentially the same for more than two decades. Manufacturers of sterile drugs seek to maintain uncontaminated conditions throughout the packaging process, performing the filling and finishing stages in a cleanroom, using only [...]
