Physicochemical and Biological Stability Assessment of SB11 (Ranibizumab Biosimilar) Under Ambient and In-Use Storage for Intravitreal Administration.

SB11 was stable for longer periods and at higher temperatures than what is stated in the labels of the reference product (Lucentis) and SB11. The physicochemical properties, biological activity, and sub-visible particulates of SB11 in both tested settings (unopened vials at room temperature and in-use product withdrawn into syringes) were maintained under the described storage periods. This information can help to avoid unnecessary delays in patient treatment without any loss in quality and biological activity, lower the workload of health care providers and reduce costs associated with drug waste.
