Biologics for chronic & autoimmune diseases

Everyday, our immune system protects us from infections and cancer cells. However, if misdirected, the activation of immune cells can result in damage to organs which can lead to autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities and chronic inflammation.

Immunotherapy is most commonly used to treat autoimmune disorders such as e. g. Crohn's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. With the rise of biotechnologically produced drug products such as monoclonal antibodies, interferons and interleukins treatment options for patients improved.

Biologics are genetically engineered drugs that target highly specific components involved in the inflammatory process, e.g. cytokines, receptors or immune cells. They intervene in the mechanisms of disease development by specifically intercepting and switching off certain substances of the immune system or occupying their binding sites and thus blocking them.

Cell & Gene Therapies

Within the recent years new technologies of treating rare and genetic diseases arose - cell and gene therapies. Those therapies aim to treat, prevent or potentially cure diseases with the potential to alleviate the underlying cause.

While cell therapy restores or alters certain sets of cells to carry a therapy through the body, gene therapies target the replacement, inactivation or introduction of genes into cells.

Perfect choice for AAV-based gene therapies. Highly inert vials made of polymers (COP) with low risk of protein adsorption are a shatterproof option to eliminate the risk of delamination, Data for deep cold and cryo storage available.

Reliable injection of viscous biologics

Biologic drugs such as mAbs are effective at treating or managing diseases in a broad range of therapeutic areas. However delivering these biologic drugs subcutaneously in a home-care setting can be challenging. Sensitive biomolecules and viscous formulations place specific demands on a device. We‘ve consulted with pharmaceutical partners and purpose-designed our Gx SensAir® large volume on-body injector and our Gx Inbeneo® single-use autoinjector platforms to respond to these challenges.
