Anjali Joshi, Recipharm’s Director – Formulation Development discusses the importance of excipient selection when considering lyophilisation in BioPharm International.
Bio Pharm International, Jan 01, 2017
Lyophilisation, or freeze drying, is a well-recognised method for delivering stable biologic drug products that have short shelf-lives in solution form. However, in order to ensure the lyophilisation process is successful and thermal degradation is minimised it is vital to select the right excipients during the development stage.
Excipient selection strongly influences lyophilisation performance for biologic drugs.
