12:30 E&L Considerations for Adoption of new Single-Use components: A Case Study with Millipak® Final Fill
A successful adoption of single use technology in a Biopharmaceutical process largely relies on the confidence in selection of such materials for the process. Changes to an existing process can be difficult even when there are potential benefits to the change. Considerations include compatibility, functionality and E&L evaluation.
This presentation will evaluate the change control process using an example of the implementation of Millipak® final fill into existing processes. Evaluation of the functional testing and extractables data will be presented. The case study will continue with the risk assessment and patient safety evaluation.

15:50 E&L Studies tailored for Transdermal Delivery Systems
Transdermal patches and related pharmaceutical products have a huge potential for leaching substances from different assembly parts and secondary packaging due to the variety of materials involved. Extractables and leachables (E&L) are unwanted, potentially harmful, substances which could be applied to the patient during medication. The impact of E&L is often underestimated which leads to increased attention of the authorities to this specific topic.
With a focus on complex drug-delivery-products, such as transdermal patches, we look at how E&L studies can be effectively applied to understand how the formulation or sweat of the patient interact with the different materials to ensure a safe medication. Illustrative examples from E&L studies are provided with special attention to an efficient study design which will fulfil the regulatory requirements but not unnecessarily exceed the worst case conditions.

17:55 Influencing factors on Extractables and Leachables at different glass materials.
As the complexity of modern drug products grows from a chemical and physical point of view, the evaluation of possible drug/container interactions are an increasing focus area in primary packaging material development. These interactions mainly depend on several factors: the chemical composition of the glass packaging material, the conversion process (namely the transformation of glass tubing into containers), possible additional surface treatments and, finally, the drug product itself. Regarding the first aspect, the composition of glass varies among different glass types as well as among different manufacturers. In consequence, the composition of a glass gives first indications for potential sources of extractables. A case study will be presented revealing differences in the extractables levels among different glass types, such as borosilicate glass and aluminosilicate glass. Furthermore, also the influence of the conversion process and possible surface treatments on the chemical stability of both glass types will be illustrated.
