摘要

Lyophilized drugs and biologics have an outsized role in protecting public health due to their ability to provide extended shelf life for stockpiling. Over 70% (14 out of 19) of antibiotics on the Essential Medicines list are supplied as lyophilized sterile powders for injection (FDA, 1). Additionally, many new drugs, including first-in-kind medicines, such as the first checkpoint inhibitor cancer immunotherapy Keytruda, were initially introduced to market in a lyophilized form, accelerating availability to patients by several years while a stable liquid formulation was being developed. The article describes methodologies, both short-term and long-term, to address the current manufacturing challenges for lyophilized injectables based on the findings of the workshop by National Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology and Education held in January 2024.
