EUA of Remdesivir Lyophilized Powder for COVID-19 Treatment in India
The ever-evolving nature of coronavirus has become a major threat to the public health, owing to its severe respiratory symptoms. Ongoing studies are surfacing about the safety and efficacy of novel lyophilized therapeutic agents in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Amid all this, healthcare giant Cipla - a global pharmaceutical company is gaining recognition for introducing its CIPREMI, a remdesivir lyophilized powder for injection (100mg). Manufacturers in the lyophilized injectable market are taking cues from such innovations to increase the availability of the U.S. FDA-approved emergency use authorization (EUA) treatment for patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms.
Since India is suffering from a third wave of the pandemic, companies in the India lyophilized injectable market are increasing efforts to gain regulatory approval by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) for restricted emergency use in the country.
Alternative Vial Designs Help Reduce Lyo-breakage Risk, Side-load Force
The lyophilized injectable market is expected to surpass US$ 5 Bn by 2031. Packaging plays a crucial role in the lyophilization of injectable drugs. Though lyo-breakage is generally not a routine occurrence, however, even at a low frequency, it can lead to high cost and operational impacts. Hence, companies are adopting alternative vial designs to reduce lyo-breakage risk and reduce significant side-load force during vial transfer in/out of the lyophilizer.
Since lyophilization is a demanding process performed with costly equipment, manufacturers are reducing significant vertical-load forces during stopper closure to avoid lyo-breakage.
Freeze-drying Preserve Liquid Formulations for Longer Periods
The lyophilized injectable market is estimated to clock a CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period. However, many biotechnologically manufactured substances are not sufficiently stable in aqueous solutions. This becomes challenging to preserve liquid formulations for longer periods. In order to overcome this, companies are adopting freeze-drying by which water is extracted from the substance under vacuum and low temperatures. There is a growing awareness to reconstitute drugs before administering them to patients.
Companies in the lyophilized injectable market are bolstering their production capabilities in freeze-dried substances, which are being packaged in vials, dual-chamber syringes, and dual-chamber cartridges. Vials have set the gold standard for freeze-dried products.
Embedded Electronic Features to Transform Market Landscape
Universal, customizable, and upgradable drug devices are anticipated to help companies in the lyophilized injectable market gain a competitive edge over other market players during the forecast period. Manufacturers are boosting their R&D to develop devices and injectors that are universal in nature and capable of operating with the help of any primary container, sans the need for a drug transfer step.
Embedded electronic features in devices and injectors are predicted to emerge as a game changer for stakeholders in the global lyophilized injectable market. These features will allow customization depending on the intended user type. Other connectivity capabilities will enable devices to be remotely upgraded, whilst making the task of lifecycle management easier.
Improving Durability of Molded Vials Yields Better Performance in Lyophilization Applications
As companies in the lyophilized injectable market are gaining awareness about the exact causes of lyo-breakage, they are increasing their production capabilities in stronger vials that may lead to a reduced likelihood of occurrence. SGD Pharma - a specialist in the production of pharmaceutical glass primary packaging has introduced its EasyLyo vial range, which combines the strength and chemical durability of molded vials with characteristics of thin-walled vials.
Manufacturers in the lyophilized injectable market are increasing efforts to reduce breakage rates and heat-transfer capability in vials. They are conducting several lyo-breakage tests using worst-case injectable formulations and cycle designed to break vials. Companies are producing flat base vials with squared-off shoulder and heel vials to yield better performance in lyophilization applications.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Companies in the lyophilized injectable market are anticipated to enter into partnerships to increase accessibility to remdesivir for patients suffering from COVID-19 in India. Injectable devices are expected to align with the increased requirement of greener technologies. However, lyo-breakage is emerging as a major issue in packaging applications. Hence, companies should develop vials with improved uniformity and cosmetic nature to offer better inspectability & performance as compared to standard molded vials. They are developing injectors that will allow patients to take control of their disease by monitoring their drug performance. Dual-chamber syringes are one of the most innovative packaging forms for freeze-dried products.
Lyophilized Injectable Market: Overview
Lyophilization is the most commonly used method for the manufacturing of parenteral pharmaceutical products, when the product is unstable in aqueous solution. It is central to the protection of materials, which require low moisture content (less than 1%) in order to ensure stability and require a sterile and gentle preservation process.
Improved quality and shelf life of lyophilized drugs has attracted industry experts to implement lyophilization in their manufacturing processes. Contract research and manufacturing organizations have increased the use of lyophilized injectable drugs to provide quality products to customers. Therefore, rapidly growing contract research manufacturing services (CRAMS) is projected to drive the global lyophilized injectable market.
Lyophilized injectable drugs are stable at ambient temperatures and only require simple rehydration to be ready to use. This removes many sources of pipetting errors, while streamlining and simplifying workflows.
Elimination of the cold chain minimizes costs and carbon footprint, and provides a positive environmental impact by minimizing the need of expanded polystyrene (EPS or ‘Styrofoam’) containers often utilized to ship temperature-controlled products
Lyophilized products are considered safe for use, while delivering the desired functionality compared to non-lyophilized products. Moreover, lyophilization helps retain the biological and chemical activity of the chemical compound in the final product. This drives the demand for lyophilized injectable drugs in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
