Popis: Recent years have seen continued growth in the area of biologics with a majority of pharmaceutical companies developing a pipeline in next-generation biologic products. Most biologics are administered via injectable routes of administration and often require frequent injections. Hence, delivery devices that can reduce discomfort associated with injectable delivery (both to the caregiver and the patient) are of interest as part of lifecycle management of biologic products. This chapter attempts to discuss some key features of these delivery devices for biologics (both conventional and novel) that are important for consideration in product development. Keywords: biologics delivery technologies; combination products; device delivery packaging
