PDA/FujiFilm Kyowa Kirin Biologics, Co., Ltd

The Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) announced the following awards at its 2019 Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes and Injection Devices Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden in late October:

FujiFilm Kyowa Kirin Biologics, Co., Ltd. won PDA’s new Drug Delivery Innovation Award.
Congruence Medical Solutions and Santen Pharmaceuticals have won PDA’s Partnership in Drug Delivery Innovation Award.

The Drug Delivery Awards were introduced in 2019 to recognize technical innovation advancing the field of bio/pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Hulio

PDA reports that FujiFilm Kyowa Kirin Biologics Co., Ltd. was selected for the Drug Delivery Innovation Award for its Hulio™ non-citrate polymer syringe. Hulio is the biosimilar version of adalimumab and the new citrate-free formulation is housed in an innovative container (SOF polymer syringe) with a thinner needle to reduce injection pain. To avoid latex allergy complications, the needle cover is not made of natural rubber latex. This product also has higher breakage resistance and is lighter than glass syringes.
