Description
Docket No.10260-WO01-SEC PACKAGING FOR DRUG ADMINISTRATION CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 580,822, filed September 6, 2023, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. FIELD OF DISCLOSURE
[0002] The present disclosure generally relates to drug administration, and, more particularly, to packaging assemblies, kits, and / or configurations for drug administration. This invention was made with government support under Contract No.75A50119C00061 awarded by Administration for Strategic Preparedness & Response’s (ASPR’s) Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). The government has certain rights in the invention. BACKGROUND
[0003] Drug delivery devices, such as pre-filled syringes (PFS) or injectors, are used to administer liquid drugs to a patient. Upon activation, a drug delivery device will expel a drug stored within an internal reservoir through a needle, cannula, or other delivery member into the patient. In some instances, such drug delivery devices are delivered or given to patients in an end-user packaging so that the patients can self-administer the drug in the comfort of their home.
[0004] Conventional end-user packaging for such drug delivery devices, such as drug administration kits, however, generally lacks features that facilitate handling and manipulation of components within the packaging. For example, to self-administer certain drugs in their home, patients may need to perform certain procedures upon opening the packaging, including preparing a dose by mixing a drug contained in a vial with a diluent contained in a PFS, withdrawing an amount of the prepared drug using an injection syringe, and injecting the drug into the patient. These procedures may involve handling multiple drug containers, coupling multiple components within the packaging or the kit, which may be cumbersome and confusing for many patients without explicit instructions or demonstrations. Therefore, there is a need for improved packaging assemblies, kits, and / or configurations for drug administration that facilitate handling and manipulation of components therein and allow users to administer drugs with ease.
[0005] The present disclosure sets forth packaging for drug administration and corresponding approaches embodying advantageous alternatives to existing packaging and approaches, and that may address one or more of the challenges or needs mentioned herein. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] Generally speaking, pursuant to these various embodiments, a packaging for drug administration is provided that facilitates user or patient handling and manipulation of components within the packaging. The packaging described herein advantageously includes a plurality of trays that are stackable in nature and that each include one or more cavities dimensioned to accommodate one or more drug delivery components. Further, such packaging may include slots that allow a user to quickly remove one or more drug delivery components therein and / or lift the stackable trays easily. Such packaging ensures that drug delivery components for different portions of the drug administration process are separated so that the user can focus on one portion of the drug administration process at a time, thereby making it easier for the user to understand the process, handle and manipulate different components throughout the drug administration process, and safely and easily administer the drug.
[0021] The drug delivery device delivers a drug, which may also be referred to herein as a medicament or drug product. The drug may be, but is not limited to, various biologicals such asDocket No.10260-WO01-SEC peptides, peptibodies, or antibodies. The drug may be in a fluid or liquid form, although the disclosure is not limited to a particular state. In some embodiments, a container, such as a vial, may be filled for treatment or prefilled with the drug. By way of example, the drug may comprise a therapeutic product, such as Nplate® (romiplostim). Various implementations and configurations of the drug delivery device are possible. For example, the present disclosure describes the drug delivery device as a pre-filled syringe (PFS). In other embodiments, the drug delivery device may be configured as a single-use, disposable injector or a multiple-use reusable injector. The drug delivery device may be operable for self-administration by a patient or for administration by a caregiver or a formally trained healthcare provider (e.g., a doctor or nurse).
[0022] As discussed above, end-user packaging is generally used to deliver and provide drug delivery devices to a user, such as a patient, a caregiver, or a formally trained healthcare provider, to allow the user to administer drugs. In some instances, such packaging is used to deliver drug delivery devices directly to a patient so as to allow the patient to self-administer drugs in the comfort of their home with little or no supervision. By way of example, such packaging may include a kit comprising various components for drug administration. However, conventional packaging generally lacks features that facilitate handling and manipulation of components within the packaging. For example, when the user receives conventional kits for drug administration, the user may not know where to begin the drug administration process or which components in the packaging to use for different portions of the drug administration process. Accordingly, the user may need to rely on explicit demonstrations or supervision to properly use the components within such packaging and may find the drug administration process cumbersome and confusing, particularly for self-administration. Therefore, there is a need for improved packaging assemblies and / or configurations for drug delivery devices that facilitate handling and manipulation of components therein and allow users to administer drugs with ease.
[0023] Figs.1A-1B, 2, and 3 illustrate an exemplary packaging 200 for drug administration, in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure. The packaging 200 may comprise a first tray 202 and a second tray 213. As shown in Figs.1A and 2, the first tray 202 may have a first plurality of sidewalls 204 that define a first volume 203 therein. Additionally, as shown in Figs.1B and 3, the second tray 213 may have a second plurality of sidewalls 216 that define a second volume 217 therein. In some embodiments, the first tray 202 and the second tray 213 may be constructed from plastic, paperboard, or a combination of synthetic and natural materials.
[0024] The first tray 202 may be configured to house a first set of drug delivery components that may be used for a first portion of a drug administration process, such as the preparation portion of the drug administration process. For example, the first tray 202 may be configured to house components that are needed to prepare the drug for administration, which may includeDocket No.10260-WO01-SEC mixing a predefined amount of drug contained in a vial with a predefined amount of diluent contained in a PFS. Accordingly, as shown in Figs.1A and 2, the first volume 203 of the first tray 202 may be configured to house a first set of drug delivery components needed for a first portion of the drug administration process, including a vial 207, a vial adapter 209, and / or a PFS 211. The PFS 211 may contain a predefined amount of diluent therein, and the vial 207 may contain a predefined amount of drug therein. During operation, the user may use the vial adapter 209 to couple the PFS 211 to the vial 207 and to thereby inject the diluent within the PFS 211 into the vial 207. Thus, the user may mix the diluent contained in the PFS 211 with the drug contained in the vial 207 and prepare the drug for subsequent administration in the vial 207.
[0025] The first tray 202 may be removably coupled to the second tray 213. For example, in a first, stacked configuration, the first tray 202 may be stacked on top of the second tray 213 such that the second volume 217 is completely covered by the first tray 202. Accordingly, in the first, stacked configuration, the user may not be able to access the second volume 217, nor the components housed within the second volume 217. In other embodiments, in a first, stacked configuration, the first tray 202 may be stacked on top of the second tray 213 such that the second volume 217 is at least partially covered by the first tray 202. Accordingly, the user may be able to partially access the second volume 217 in the first, stacked configuration. In a second, separated configuration (shown in Figs.1A and 1B), the first tray 202 may be physically separated from the second tray 213 such that the first tray 202 and the second tray 213 are physically segregated components of the packaging 200. In the second, separated configuration, the user may be able to access the second volume 217 and the components housed within the second volume 217. When the first tray 202 is stacked on top of the second tray 213 in the first, stacked configuration, the first plurality of sidewalls 204 and the second plurality of sidewalls 216 may be vertically aligned such that the first volume 203 sits directly on top of the second volume 217 and completely or at least partially covers the second volume 217. In some embodiments, as shown in Figs.1A and 3, the second tray 213 may comprise a lip portion 230 formed around the second plurality of sidewalls 216 to allow the first tray 202 to be stacked on top of the second tray 213 in the first, stacked configuration. The lip portion 230 may include a recess formed around the second plurality of sidewalls 216, and when the first tray 202 is stacked on top of the second tray 213, the first plurality of sidewalls 204 may be configured to cover the lip portion 230 of the second tray 213.
[0026] Fig.2 illustrates a top view of the first tray 202 of the packaging 200. As discussed above, the first tray 202 may be configured to house a first set of drug delivery components for, for example, the preparation portion of the drug administration process. Accordingly, as shown in Fig.2, for example, the first volume 203 of the first tray 202 may include a first plurality of cavities 206, 208, and 210 sized and dimensioned to accommodate or house the first set of drug delivery components, including the vial 207, the vial adapter 209, and the PFS 211, respectively. Additionally, in some embodiments, the first volume 203 may include a plurality of slots 205Docket No.10260-WO01-SEC configured to facilitate lifting of the first tray 202 relative to the second tray 213 when the first tray 202 is stacked on top of the second tray 213. For example, the user may place his or her fingers within the slots 205 to lift the first tray 202 off of the second tray 213. Additionally, or alternatively, the first volume 203 may include slots 226 within cavities 206, 208, and 210 to facilitate removal of the vial 207, the vial adapter 209, and the PFS 211, respectively. Similar to slots 205, the user may place his or her fingers within the slots 226 to remove one or more of the vial 207, the vial adapter 209, and the PFS 211 housed within the cavities 206, 208, and 210, respectively.
[0027] As discussed above, the first tray 202 may be configured to house a first set of drug delivery components that may be used for a first portion of a drug administration process, such as the preparation portion of the drug administration process. Similarly, the second tray 213 may be configured to house a second set of drug delivery components that may be used for a second, subsequent portion of the drug administration process, such as the injection portion of the drug administration process. For example, the second tray 213 may be configured to house components that are needed to inject the drug that was previously prepared using the components in the first tray 202. Accordingly, the second volume 217 of the second tray 213 may be configured to house an injection syringe 221 and / or an injection needle 224.
[0028] Fig.3 illustrates a top view of the second tray 213 of the packaging 200. As shown in Fig.3, for example, the second volume 217 of the second tray 213 may include a second plurality of cavities 219 and 222 sized and dimensioned to accommodate or house the second set of drug delivery components, including the injection syringe 221 and the injection needle 224, respectively. In some embodiments, the second volume 217 may also include one or more recesses 225 and slots 227 configured to facilitate removal of the injection syringe 221 and / or the injection needle 224 from the cavities 219 and 222, respectively. For example, the user may place his or her fingers within the recess 225 and / or slots 227 to remove the packaging 220 containing the injection syringe 221 and / or the packaging 223 containing the injection needle 224. Moreover, the second volume 217 may further comprise an additional cylindrical cavity 218 configured to accommodate the vial 207 from the first tray 202. By way of example, the user may place the vial 207 from the first tray 202 within the cylindrical cavity 218 while handling the second set of drug delivery components, such as the injection syringe 221 and the injection needle 224. The cylindrical cavity 218 may be sized and dimensioned to keep the vial 207 steady within the cavity 218.
[0029] As discussed above, during operation of the drug administration process, the user may first use the vial adapter 209 in the first tray 202 to couple the PFS 211 to the vial 207 and to thereby inject the diluent within the PFS 211 into the vial 207. Thus, the user may mix the diluent contained in the PFS 211 with the drug contained in the vial 207 and prepare the drug for subsequent administration in the vial 207. In some embodiments, the vial 207 may be filled for treatment or prefilled with the drug. In some embodiments, the drug contained in the vial 207Docket No.10260-WO01-SEC may comprise a therapeutic product, such as Nplate® (romiplostim). Once the user has completed this preparation portion of the drug administration process using the components housed within the first tray 202, the user may separate the first tray 202 from the second tray 213 to thereby expose access to the second volume 217 of the second tray 213 (as shown in Figs.1A and 1B). The user may then place the vial 207 with the mixed and prepared drug contained therein in the cavity 218 to keep the vial 207 steady while preparing the second set of drug delivery components for drug injection. The user may then dismount the empty PFS 211 from the vial adapter 209, remove the injection syringe 221 from its sterile packaging 220, and connect the injection syringe 221 to the vial adapter 209. Afterwards, the user may draw the mixed drug in the vial 207 into the injection syringe 221, discount the filled injection syringe 221 from the vial adapter 209, remove the injection needle 224 from its sterile packaging 223, and couple the injection needle 224 to the filled injection syringe 221. Subsequently, the user may administer the drug in the injection syringe 221 by piercing the skin with the injection needle 224 and delivering the drug.
[0030] Referring back to Figs.1A and 1B, in some embodiments, the packaging 200 may further comprise a sleeve 215 configured to be disposed about the first tray 202 and the second tray 213 initially when the first tray 202 is stacked on top of the second tray 213. When the packaging 200 is initially delivered to the user, the sleeve 215 may be disposed about the first tray 202 and the second tray 213 such that the first volume 203 is completely or at least partially covered by the sleeve 215. The user may remove the sleeve 215 to expose the first volume 203 and to access the first set of drug delivery components housed within the first volume 203 of the first tray 202. In some embodiments, the sleeve 215 may be constructed of recyclable material, such as paperboard. In some embodiments, the sleeve 215, the first plurality of sidewalls 204, and / or the second plurality of sidewalls 216 of the packaging 200 may be constructed of plastic, paperboard, or a combination of synthetic and natural materials to protect various drug delivery components housed within the packaging 200 against external disturbances, such as falling and vibration, as well as environmental impacts.
[0031] Additionally, the packaging 200 may further comprise a first manual 212 disposed within the first volume 203. The first manual 212 may include a set of instructions for using the first set of drug delivery components, such as the vial 207, the vial adapter 209, and the PFS 211. The first manual 212 may also include descriptions of the first set of drug delivery components, the drug contained within the vial 207, the diluent contained within the PFS 211, or the like. Similarly, the packaging 200 may further comprise a second manual 214 disposed within the second volume 217. The second manual 214 may include a set of instructions for using the second set of drug delivery components, such as the injection syringe 221 and the injection needle 224, and may also include descriptions of the second set of drug delivery components.Docket No.10260-WO01-SEC
[0032] As compared with some conventional end-user packaging, the packaging 200 advantageously comprises stacked trays that improve usability and reduces dose administration errors through progress disclosure of drug delivery components. In particular, the packaging 200 not only has a more compact form factor, but also separates the workflows for drug administration, such as the preparation workflow and the injection workflow, in physically segregated compartments (e.g., trays 202 and 213). When the trays 202, 213 are in the stacked configuration, the user may only be able to view the first tray 202 because the first tray 202 is stacked directly on top of the second tray 213 and, thus, the user’s attention and focus will be solely drawn to the first tray 202. As discussed above, the first tray 202 may include the drug delivery components and the manual to perform and complete the preparation portion of the drug administration process such that the user can easily focus on completing the preparation portion of the process. Once the user has completed the preparation portion and has successfully prepared the drug for subsequent administration, then the user can remove the first tray 202, which will then allow the user to access the second tray 213. The second tray 213 may include the drug delivery components and the manual to perform the subsequent injection portion of the drug administration process such that the user can focus on completing this subsequent portion. The stacked configuration of the packaging 200 may facilitate differentiation between the various stages or portions of the drug administration process, thereby making it easier for the user to handle and manipulate various drug delivery components and to understand the various stages of the drug administration process.
[0033] The packaging described herein may be shaped to be used with any number of different drug delivery components and devices having varying sizes, shapes, and / or configurations. Additionally, the packaging described herein may comprise more than two stackable trays, such as three, four, five, or six stackable trays. Moreover, the packaging described herein may comprise any number of cavities in each tray, and the cavities may be shaped and sized to accommodate any number of different drug delivery components having varying sizes, shapes, and / or configurations.
[0034] The above description describes various devices, packaging assemblies, components, subsystems and methods for use related to a drug delivery device. The devices, packaging assemblies, components, subsystems, methods or drug delivery devices can further comprise or be used with a drug including but not limited to those drugs identified below as well as their generic and biosimilar counterparts. The term drug, as used herein, can be used interchangeably with other similar terms and can be used to refer to any type of medicament or therapeutic material including traditional and non-traditional pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, supplements, biologics, biologically active agents and compositions, large molecules, biosimilars, bioequivalents, therapeutic antibodies, polypeptides, proteins, small molecules and generics.

[0035] The drug will be contained in a reservoir. In some instances, the reservoir is a primary container that is either filled or pre-filled for treatment with the drug. The primary container can be a vial, a cartridge or a pre-filled syringe.
[0036] In some embodiments, the reservoir of the drug delivery device may be filled with or the device can be used with colony stimulating factors, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Such G-CSF agents include but are not limited to Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim, pegylated filgastrim, pegylated G-CSF, pegylated hu-Met-G-CSF) and Neupogen® (filgrastim, G-CSF, hu-MetG-CSF), UDENYCA® (pegfilgrastim-cbqv), Ziextenzo® (LA-EP2006; pegfilgrastim-bmez), or FULPHILA (pegfilgrastim-bmez).
[0037] In other embodiments, the drug delivery device may contain or be used with an erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA), which may be in liquid or lyophilized form. An ESA is any molecule that stimulates erythropoiesis. In some embodiments, an ESA is an erythropoiesis stimulating protein. As used herein, “erythropoiesis stimulating protein” means any protein that directly or indirectly causes activation of the erythropoietin receptor, for example, by binding to and causing dimerization of the receptor. Erythropoiesis stimulating proteins include erythropoietin and variants, analogs, or derivatives thereof that bind to and activate erythropoietin receptor; antibodies that bind to erythropoietin receptor and activate the receptor; or peptides that bind to and activate erythropoietin receptor.
