UDENYCA approved this time ® The in vivo injector (OBI) TM has set a new industry standard for the performance, quality, reliability, and patient convenience of wearable injection devices.



Andernach - Leading pharmaceutical technology company LTS LOHMANN Therapy System AG ("LTS") announced today that its client, Coherus BioSciences, Inc ("Coherus"), has launched UDENYCA using LTS Sorrel ® In vivo syringe (OBI) TM wearable drug delivery platform UDENYCA ® Pegfilgrastim cbqv is a non gliptin biosimilar drug that is administered on the second day after chemotherapy to reduce the incidence of infections represented by febrile neutropenia. UDENYCA ® OBI was officially approved by the FDA in December 2023. This device sets new standards for the performance, quality, reliability, and patient convenience of wearable injection devices.


Coherus and LTS have continuously collaborated in various stages of research and development, ultimately obtaining Udenyca ® Approval of OBI dosing system. The new drug delivery equipment platform will help Udenyca ® Patients receive medication treatment in a comfortable home with the aim of reducing their risk of infection after receiving chemotherapy.


Bas van Buyjtenen, CEO of LTS, commented, "This release completes the plan for LTS to enter the biopharmaceutical market, bringing the well-known easy to manage delivery method of LTS into new therapies. We are ready to expand our production capacity to quickly provide this advantageous formulation to all patients."


"The approval from the US FDA is a clear vote of confidence in the SorrelTM platform and an important milestone. Dr. Andrei Yosef, President and General Manager of LTS Device Technologies, stated, 'This release demonstrates our manufacturing and market supply based on market demand.' 'Approval and initiation will accelerate our other collaborative projects running on the same platform, as well as those with future market access partners."

Lindmik point of view

For a long time, transdermal delivery of active ingredients in biopharmaceuticals has been a peak that many pharmaceutical companies have looked up to and climbed. However, due to the widespread high molecular weight, low stability, and strict storage requirements of biopharmaceuticals, various transdermal delivery technology platforms (such as hot melt adhesives, solvent adhesives, microneedles, etc.) are currently unable to achieve the industrial production quality stability and scale limit required for evaluation.

Although UDENYCA ® The brand has previously launched non Gesting injection pens for patients to self administer at home, but the company has still invested huge resources in partnering with LTS to overcome the research and development application project for wearable injection devices. This indicates that the use of wearable transdermal injection delivery methods for high dose macromolecular biopharmaceuticals has feasibility and commercialization opportunities. But it is still early to deny that transdermal microneedles can achieve macromolecular transdermal drug delivery, after all, the production and research and development technology of microneedles are also rapidly developing.
