Programme - Day one
Chairman's welcome and introduction
Dr Greg Berman, Independent Consultant, UK
Trends in Injection Devices
-- Needs - the evolving patient, market, industry and regulatory
expectations
-- Approaches: responding with appropriate solutions
-- Solutions: Some optimised, customised and novel technologies
-- Pathways: Navigating designations and the changing framework
-- Outcomes: Recent approvals, setbacks and regulator feedback
Mark Chipperfield, Company Director and Principal Consultant, Corvus Device, UK
Latest devices - connectivity with injectables

Markus Bauss, Managing Director, SHL Group, Germany
Ypsomed delivery systems for large volume self-injection and connectivity
-- Recent self-injection market trends with a focus on autoinjectors
-- SmartPilot reusable add-ons and their integration into the connected
ecosystem - YpsoDose patch injector: making life simpler for patients
and pharma companies
Ian Thompson, Vice President Business Development, Ypsomed
Connected health - getting to market with an electronic auto-injector, app and cloud services
-- Data
-- Analytics
-- Artificial intelligence
Neil Williams, Director, Front-End Innovation, Head of Connected Health, Medicom Innovation Partner, UK
Pre-filled syringes over time
-- Evolution of processes and equipment
-- Evolution of components
-- Evolution of applications and application systems
Andreas Rothmund, Qualified Person, Vetter Pharma-Fertigung GmbH & Co KG Germany
Using polymeric PDC technology to improve auto-injector design
-- Polymeric primary drug container (PDC) technology unlocks the design
freedom constraints of existing PDC systems, providing the ability to
fully address both the needs of the user and drug
-- Increased design freedoms allow PDC components to be configured freely
to resolve issues typically seen with glass-based systems
-- An integrated approach to device design reduces the impact on the user,
whilst ensuring all required user interface features are present without
compromiseto overall device size or usability
-- Oval's subcutaneous platform, Sumalen Ovali, embodies this integrated
philosophy to device design
-- Combining both user and drug requirements into its development, the
platform provides a patient-centric device for delivery of Sumatriptan
to migraine and cluster headache sufferers
-- The subcutaneous auto-injector platform actively decouples the drug
delivery requirements from those of the user interface providing both
user and drug delivery benefit
Jonathan Bradshaw, Device Development Engineer, Oval Medical Technologies, UK
Polymers for better injection devices
-- Functional Integration of parts with Engineering Polymers
-- Designing for low and consistent frictional performance
-- Predicting long term performance under load
Ian Wands, Market Development Specialist, DuPont Performance Materials, UK
Large volume injectors: one device - multiple solutions
-- Viscosity and volume challenges with biologics - Increase in promising
new biologics and biosimilars to treat multiple disease states
-- Subcutaneous injection of biologics: Overcoming the volume challenge
-- Wearable Large Volume Injectors (LVIs): An Elegant solution
-- Wider implications of wearable LVIs: A hand-in-glove fit with the new
healthcare paradigm
-- Considerations in choosing a wearable high volume subcutaneous delivery
device
-- Pharma-device partnerships: Early clinical collaboration
Mike Hooven, CEO, Enable Injections, USA
Networking drinks reception
Programme - Day two
Review of day one
Dr Greg Berman, Independent Consultant, UK
What do pharma companies want from devices?
-- Key considerations- improving the benefit risk profile, enhancing
patient compliance
-- Contribution to successful life cycle management
-- Implications from Brexit and the new implementation of the new
legislation
-- How to avoid disappointment
Dr David Jefferys, Senior Vice President Global Regulatory, Government Relations and European Product Safety, Eisai Europe Ltd, UK
The EU regulatory framework for injectable delivery systems
-- Classification - getting it right from the start
-- Implications of the new EU Medical Device Regulations for drug delivery
systems
-- Device essential requirements for Injectable Medicinal Products
Stephen Dew, Associate Director RA (CMC) Combination Products, Biogen, UK
US regulatory considerations for injectable delivery systems
-- Implementing 21 CFR 4: Integrated development and product maintenance
-- Integrating essential performance into control strategy
-- Approaches for bridging changes made during development
-- Regulatory submission strategies for initial registration, post-approval
changes, platform technologies and master files
Suzette Roan, Senior Director, Global Regulatory Affairs, Sanofi, USA
Advances in Needle Free Drug Delivery
-- Portal Instruments is developing a next generation needle-free drug
injection platform to transform the drug delivery experience for
patients suffering from chronic diseases such as ulcerative colitis,
multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis
-- Our approach, which is issued from MIT research, uses a
computer-controlled linear actuator that pressurizes the medication and
injects it in a very fine jet
-- It can administer up to 1 mL of medication, is relatively quiet, fast,
and automatically adapts to both the viscosity and temperature of the
medication
-- Clinical studies we've conducted have shown that patients perceive less
pain and prefer the Portal Needle-free injector versus needle and
syringe injections
Andrew Coats, Director of Engineering, Portal Instruments, USA
Enhance existing devices or move to brand new integrated solutions? Two approaches for smart pen injectors
-- Moving towards connected devices in the field of injection seems
inevitable: two approaches are possible to achieve this goal
-- Some benefits of connectivity: automatic collection of treatment
information (dose, time and date), reminders, alerts, treatment calendar
on the smartphone, advice, engagement
-- The advantages of Add-On approach: seamless for the patients (do not
change patient's habits, same device, same use), painless for the pharma
(regulatory and industrial processes remain unchanged)
-- The advantages of integrated solutions: enhance accuracy, comfort, and
security
-- Elements to consider in order to make a choice: time to market,
regulatory environment, specific needs (dosage, comfort), maturity of
the market
Arnaud Guillet, Business Development Associate, Bicorp, France
Human factors in injectable drug delivery
-- Current climate
-- Understanding anthropometrics and ergonomics to meet patient needs - Use
safety in performing injections and infusions
-- Human Factors testing injection and infusion systems
-- Case Study: An injection aid
Greg Thay, Human Factors Director, Medical Devices,Thay Medical, UK
Key training device considerations for injection based therapies
-- Market needs and trends
-- User needs and characteristics
-- Training device considerations (AI, PFS, Onbody, etc.) - Best practices
(Process, systems, innovation)
-- Case study/Research findings (TBD)
Joe Reynolds, Research Manager at Noble, UK
