Glass Silicone Oil Free Pre-filled Syringe as Primary Container in Autoinjector.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePre-filled syringes (PFSs) have become popular as a convenient and cost-effective container closure system for delivering biotherapeutics. However, standard siliconized PFSs may compromise the stability of therapeutic proteins due to their exposure to the silicone oil-water interface. To address this concern, silicone oil-free (SOF) glass syringes coupled with silicone-oil free plunger stoppers have been developed. This study aims to compare the impact of silicone oil-free (SOF) and siliconized syringes as primary container on protein stability and device functionality of the combination products.
methodsThe stability of proteins with different modalities was assessed in SOF and siliconized 1 mL glass syringes for up to 6 months at 5℃, 25℃, and 40℃ with levels of subvisible particles and soluble aggregate determined by micro-flow imaging (MFI) and ultra performance size-exclusion chromatography (UP-SEC). The functionality of SOF glass syringes, including break loose force, extrusion force and delivery time in autoinjectors, was evaluated at different time points during the stability study. Additionally, SOF glass syringes were filled with viscosity surrogate ranging from 1 to 90 cP to understand the impact of solution viscosity on break loose force, extrusion force, and autoinjector delivery time.
resultsSOF demonstrates compatibility with proteins and exhibited significantly low particle counts compared to siliconized PFS. SOF syringes show significantly higher break-loose and extrusion forces. However, unlike siliconized syringes where silicone oil migration increases extrusion force, no significant change in functionality was observed in SOF glass syringe during stability testing. Overall, SOF glass syringes showed great potential as an alternative package for biologics with comparable performance on functionality as siliconized PFS.
conclusionsThe combination of SOF glass and its PTFE coated stopper presents a new primary container closure system with both adequate protein stability and desired functionality features.
