Lonza is developing an aseptic spray drying process at its Bend (USA) site to enable high‑concentration formulations of biologics such as monoclonal antibodies, antibody‑drug conjugates (ADCs) and peptides. Initial tests showed various antibodies and ADCs can be reliably spray dried, with the aim of creating new solutions for high‑dose subcutaneous applications. The process is intended to improve stability and reduce viscosity but still faces technical hurdles such as protein stability, sterile processing, formulation optimization and scaling to industrial production. The Lonza share was at times 0.64% lower at 571.53 francs. » Mais em finanzen.net
