Roquette expert to deliver a presentation about extending shelf life of therapeutic proteins.
Dr. HONG Shiqi, senior biopharma scientist at Roquette’s Global Biopharma Center of Excellence in Singapore, will be hosting a presentation in the biologics stream:
- Extending shelf life of therapeutic proteins with Hydroxylpropyl ß-Cyclodextrins – mechanistic understanding of bevacizumab stabilization.
- Tuesday 10 March / 2:20 pm - 2:55 pm
Therapeutic proteins undergo various stresses during upstream, downstream, formulation fill-finish processes, transportation and storage. Dr. Hong´s presentation will helps us understand the stabilization mechanism of Hydroxylpropyl ß-Cyclodextrins (KLEPTOSE® HP or HPB) in reducing bevacizumab aggregation.
This study offers deeper understanding of the mechanistic role of KLEPTOSE® in bevacizumab formulations by weakening the bevacuzimab-bevacuzimab association, and demonstrates the thermal and oxidative stability of KLEPTOSE® itself. KLEPTOSE® is a viable option for reducing aggregation of bevacizumab and extending its shelf life.
