  • Patent number: 12116188
    Abstract: A sealing cap for a container for holding a medical liquid comprises a cap body and a connection device having a sealing element arranged on the cap body. The sealing element is arranged at the opening and is retained in the cap body in a clamped manner by a, preferably annular, flanged rim. The connection device has a break-off piece, which is firmly connected to the cap body and covers an outer face of the sealing element in the outward direction. The break-off piece is integral with the cap body, is connected to the cap body by a predetermined breaking point where the break-off piece can be detached from the cap body. The sealing element outer face is substantially flat and is accessible for wiping to provide a sealing cap having a sealing element arranged that can be simply and reliably disinfected.

  • Patent number: 12109267
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel liquid pharmaceutical compositions of adalimumab, which include adalimumab or a biosimilar thereof, an histidine buffering agent such as histidine (or histidine buffer system such as histidine/imidazolium-histidine), and a sugar stabiliser such as trehalose. Such a combination of components furnishes formulations having a stability (e.g. on storage and when exposed to stress) which is comparable to or an improvement upon those known in the art, and with fewer ingredients. Such advances will help adalimumab treatments to become more widely available at lower cost, and prolong the viability of pre-loaded delivery devices (e.g. pre-filled syringes) to reduce unnecessary waste of the drug.

  • Patent number: 12102791
    Abstract: A drug delivery device has a housing with an adhesive pad associated with the lower surface of the housing and configured to removably attach to a human body surface. A drug reservoir is positioned within the housing and includes an outlet with a valve, with a needle fluidically connected to the reservoir and configured to define at least a portion of a fluid flow path between the reservoir and the human body surface. A controller is configured to control the components of the drug delivery device to execute a drug delivery routine. The drug delivery device also includes pressurized fluid positioned to apply a force to the reservoir. The controller moves the valve from a closed condition to an open condition during a drug delivery routine to allow the pressurized fluid to deform the reservoir or move a plunger to convey the drug out of the reservoir via the outlet.
