Title: Innovative and Agile Approaches in the Aseptic Manufacturing of Lyophilised Vialed Drug Products

  • A RABS filling line will be presented that is connected to four path-through lyophilisers, which are automatically loaded and unloaded, and capped in a "Movable Crimping Unit". The setup allows simultanous loading and unlaoding of the lyophilisers and an optimisation of equipment utilisation.
  • The design of the next generation RABS line will be presented, which will adress the need for an increased flexibility in batch size during the product life cycle, and which can also fill liquid vials to further improve the line occupancy.
  • A case study will present the development and implementation of a lyophilisation cycle on an accelerated time line to support the manufacturing of a COVID 19 vaccine.
