Formulation and Drug Product Development, Biologics, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Hyderabad, India. Electronic address:
Formulation robustness study was performed for a biosimilar monoclonal antibody (IgG1) manufactured at Dr. Reddy's Laboratory, where the pH and concentration level of excipients in the drug product formulation were systematically varied from the target formulation. It was observed that the IgG1 formulation having relatively low pH and high citrate (buffer salt) concentration were predisposed to the formation of low molecular weight impurities.

Background: The use of new biological medicines as standard treatment is expected to increase substantially and cover new therapeutic indications in the near future. Interchange of biological medicines in pharmacies increases the need for patient guidance.
Objectives: The study aims to gain a patient perspective on biological medicine users' needs and wishes regarding patient guidance by exploring what kind of information patients wish to receive and to further investigate the potential differences in needs between originator biological medicine users and biosimilar users.
