Biologics for Chronic & Autoimmune Diseases
Everyday, our immune system protects us from infections and cancer cells. However, if misdirected, the activation of immune cells can result in damage to organs which can lead to autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities and chronic inflammation.
Immunotherapy is most commonly used to treat autoimmune disorders such as e. g. Crohn's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. With the rise of biotechnologically produced drug products such as monoclonal antibodies, interferons and interleukins treatment options for patients improved.

Cell & Gene Therapies
Within the recent years new technologies of treating rare and genetic diseases arose - cell and gene therapies. Those therapies aim to treat, prevent or potentially cure diseases with the potential to alleviate the underlying cause.
While cell therapy restores or alters certain sets of cells to carry a therapy through the body, gene therapies target the replacement, inactivation or introduction of genes into cells.
Solutions for Cell & Gene therapies

Reliable injection of viscous biologics at home
Biologic drugs such as mAbs are effective at treating or managing diseases in a broad range of therapeutic areas. However, delivering these biologic drugs subcutaneously in a home-care setting can be challenging as sensitive biomolecules and viscous formulations place specific demands on a device. We‘ve consulted with pharmaceutical partners and purpose-designed our Gx Inbeneo® single-use autoinjector platforms to respond to these challenges.
