Overview

Dear Colleagues,

Time-to-market is gaining in importance, especially since the industry wants to support patients with new drugs as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the costs associated with new injectable drug products continue to increase over time. Minimizing development time also presents challenges. In fact, every day added to the development plan actually diminishes the value for licensing or selling of the drug product due to reductions in potential revenue and market exclusivity.

The goal of this meeting is to discuss these challenges with a primary focus on:

  • Approaches and trends in drug development with the potential to rapidly support
    patients with new drugs.
  • Time-to-market packaging platforms, new technologies, regulation strategies, clinical and commercial fill & finish, secondary packaging, etc.
  • Case studies from a pharma/biotech supplier using tools, platforms or methods,
    supplier solutions, process and technology infrastructure, and development strategies that demonstrate a reduction in time-to-market.

Take advantage of the open forum design approach offered by this focused Interest Group meeting. Hear presentations from leading experts and interact and discuss your experiences with colleagues in an open atmosphere.

Share your opinion and enlarge your knowledge in an interactive format discussion. Receive the latest information about activities of the Interest Group/Pre-filled Syringes.

    Moderator: Frank Bamberg, Roche

    After parting in 3 groups the participants will enter a structured conversational process regarding Risks and Challenges, Technical Solutions and Partnerships and Cooperation in three rounds. Facilitated by a table moderator each group is introduced to the topic and will have a set amount of time to discuss and gather key points on each topic. As each group will build on the knowledge already gathered each round will be shorter than the prior. Inspired by the method developed by Juanita Brown und David Isaacs this session will result in conclusive take-home-messages on each topic discussed.
