Our scientific poster presents a case study on the development of a high concentration protein suspension (400-500 mg/mL) suitable for subcutaneous delivery of therapeutic proteins. Using Bevacizumab as a model system, we explore key considerations for successful product development and design.

 

Key Learnings:

  • Formulation and process design to produce stable spray dried protein particles
  • Particle engineering and vehicle selection to maximize the deliverable dose
  • Considerations of both protein stability and suspension viscosity in the design of syringable high concentration protein suspensions
