Dates/Location
PART I, May 1: Co-located with Excipient World Conference & Expo, National Harbor, MD
PART II, July 24: Co-located with CRS Annual Meeting & Expo, Las Vegas, NV
Subcutaneous (SC) delivery of biologic therapeutics as an alternative to IV infusion is of increasing interest to expand the patient-centric opportunities for self-or caregiver-assisted administration at home or in an office setting. The normally high dose and volumes associated with IV administration of therapeutic proteins present significant challenges to achieving SC delivery, such as, high concentration viscosities, stability/protein aggregation, unpredictable bioavailability, potential immunogenicity, manufacturability and injection device compatibility.
This Biologics Summit, jointly hosted by the Controlled Release Society and IPEC-Americas, will address the current state and prospects for future advancements related to formulation and characterization technologies, functional excipients, predictive bioavailability and device technologies to enable the SC delivery of high dose/volume biologics.
