  • Publication number: 20230310681
    Abstract: A method of preparing a prefilled syringe (1), comprises (i) obtaining a syringe barrel (11) having an open end (111) and a tip (112) with an orifice (113) essentially opposite to the open end (111), and a needle adaptor cap (12) assembled on the tip (112) of the syringe barrel, wherein the needle adaptor cap (12) has a rubber element (121) tightly sealing the orifice (113) of the tip (112) of the syringe barrel (11) and the syringe barrel (11) together with the needle adaptor cap (12) assembled on the tip (112) of the syringe barrel (11) is sterilized by a first sterilizing comprising a main step of exposing the syringe barrel (11) together with the needle adaptor cap (12) assembled on the tip (112) of the syringe barrel (11) to ethylene oxide for about 5 hours to about 60 hours at a relative humidity of about 40% to about 100% and at a temperature of about 30° C. to about 60° C.

  • Publication number: 20210353753
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly concentrated, stable pharmaceutical formulation of a pharmaceutically active anti-HER2 antibody, such as e.g. Trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN™), Pertuzumab or T-DM1, or a mixture of such antibody molecules for subcutaneous injection. In particular, the present invention relates to formulations comprising, in addition to a suitable amount of the anti-HER2 antibody, an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme as a combined formulation or for use in form of a co-formulation. The formulations comprise additionally at least one buffering agent, such as e.g. a histidine buffer, a stabilizer or a mixture of two or more stabilizers (e.g. a saccharide, such as e.g. ?,?-trehalose dihydrate or sucrose, and optionally methionine as a second stabilizer), a nonionic surfactant and an effective amount of at least one hyaluronidase enzyme. Methods for preparing such formulations and their uses thereof are also provided.
