Modulating Drug Release from Short Poly(ethylene glycol) Block Initiated Poly(L-lactide) Di-block Copolymers.

This paper investigates drug release from a novel series of mPEG-functionalised PLLA polymers whose individual components (PEG and PLLA) have regulatory FDA approval. Two processing methods were explored to understand their effect on the morphology and drug release profiles of the polymers, with and without mPEG functionalisation. In the first method the polymer and Propranolol.

Formulation Considerations for Autologous T Cell Drug Products.

Genetically modified autologous T cells have become an established immunotherapy in the fight against cancer. The manufacture of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and αβ-T cell receptor (TCR) transduced T cells poses unique challenges, including the formulation, cryopreservation and fill-finish steps, which are the focus of this review. With an increasing number of marketing approvals for CAR-T cell therapies, comparison of their formulation design and presentation for administration can be made.
