Schreiner MediPharm's Innovative Label Enhances WuXi XDC's Clinical Trials
Schreiner MediPharm, a leading developer of functional labels for healthcare, has created a specialized Light-Protect-Label for CRDMO, WuXi XDC, to support the dual needs of light protection and drug blinding, to accelerate the process for a novel ADC in clinical trials.
An opaque label was developed that completely wraps around the drug container, offering both UV and light protection suitable for use with transparent vials. Additionally, a resealable inspection window enabling an unadulterated view of the vial content was included, to allow for the inspection of both the condition and color of the reconstituted lyophilizate before it is administered.
WuXi XDC is a leading contract research, development, and manufacturing organization (CRDMO) headquartered in China with a focus on the global ADC and bioconjugate market. To support a biotech company in a clinical trial for an ADC drug, WuXi XDC required a reliable label solution. The light-sensitive active ingredient is filled into vials as a lyophilized powder and must be effectively protected against external influences. WuXi XDC found the most suitable solution through the cooperation with Schreiner MediPharm by implementing a Light-Protect-Label that perfectly met the specific customer requirements.
Schreiner MediPharm developed a solution with integrated UV and light protection that is perfectly suited for transparent vials. The opaque label completely wraps around the container and offers optimal light protection. At the same time, it supports a dependable and safe conduct of the clinical trial by reliably blinding the investigational drugs. A resealable inspection window enables an unadulterated view of the vial content. That is crucial for inspecting the condition and color of the reconstituted lyophilizate before it is administered and to thus ensure the efficacy of the medication.
The innovative label-integrated light protection solution from Schreiner MediPharm was customized to suit the specific application and respective container. The pharmaceutical expert can draw on its extensive expertise in materials, adhesives, and printing techniques as well as comprehensive tests of light protection properties. Hence WuXi XDC benefits from an efficient, multifunctional solution combining protection of the light-sensitive active ingredient with reliable blinding as part of a clinical trial. This optimizes processes, accelerates clinical trial workflow, and supports product and patient safety.
The light protection solution from Schreiner MediPharm proves to be particularly forward-looking because it is perfectly suited for use in antibody drug conjugates like the one in this trial. ADCs are an important innovation in cancer therapy. Through targeted delivery of drugs into specific tumor cells they enable gentler and more effective treatment compared to conventional chemotherapies. This technology acts directly on the cancer cell, thus largely sparing healthy cells and minimizing side effects.
