Burgdorf – Ypsomed enters a partnership with ten23 health, a global Swiss contract development and manufacturing organization. The aim of this collaboration is to advance the commercialization of the YpsoDose wearable injector for the subcutaneous self-injection of large-volume doses. ten23’s drug development, filling and device assembly expertise will significantly contribute to the product offering.
Ypsomed has entered a strategic collaboration with ten23 health, where both parties proactively invest in technology and infrastructure to offer the YpsoDose patch injector platform as a fully integrated solution for the subcutaneous self-administration of large volume injectables. This comprehensive solution includes a ready-to-use cartriQ glass cartridge from Schott Pharma as the primary packaging for the drug, the YpsoDose patch injector platform from Ypsomed, and formulation and process development, filling, assembly, and testing (QC) of the final product by ten23 health. Pharmaceutical customers will have the option to receive a rigorously tested and documented overall solution, significantly accelerate time to clinic and subsequently time to market, and allowing them to concentrate on their core initiatives.
This collaboration will harness ten23 health's expertise in the development, manufacturing and testing of complex formulations for subcutaneous administration while leveraging their comprehensive experience in the clinical and commercial fill & finish of complex dosage forms, including large volume cartridges for devices. ten23 health is well positioned to meet specific and unique requirements.
This exciting partnership with Ypsomed aligns seamlessly with our vision of a successful drug product by which the drug-device integration is taken into account from the very beginning of its design – where formulation, primary packaging, and medical devices are an equally important part, providing stable, safe, usable and effective medicines to patients,
says Prof. Dr. Hanns-Christian Mahler, Chief Enablement Officer at ten23 health.
Ypsomed's platform enables its customers to have considerable freedom in the choice of components and partners to implement their own processes as needed. The integrated solution provided by the collaborating partners allows them to leverage knowledge and to collaborate throughout all necessary steps and components for an overall shortened time-to-market and reduced development risks of the biopharmaceutical drug/device combination product.
Together with ten23 as strong partner, we offer a comprehensive solution, for our customers to bring their medicines to market as a commercially viable and competitive product in a short time, at a lower cost and with low risks,
