White paper: Approaches to alleviating subcutaneous pain at injection sites

Feb. 20, 2024
High concentration mAbs can create challenges for subcutaneous injection, namely pain at the injection site. This peer-reviewed article compares buffer formulation options, and an excipients selection strategy, in reducing injection-site pain.

mAbs delivered via subcutaneous (SC) injection provide numerous patient benefits and are currently the most common route of self-administered drugs. Yet these therapies must be formulated at high concentration, which may cause increased injection-site pain.

This article will discuss the use of citrate in SC formulations as compared to other buffers, as well as a formulation and excipients selection strategy that can be used to mitigate the risk of injection-site pain due to buffer, pH, and viscosity.
