Sun Pharma launches Gemcitabine InfuSMART in Europe

11 Jul 2016 Evaluate

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has rolled-out Gemcitabine InfuSMART in Europe. InfuSMART is a technology in which oncology products are developed in a Ready-To-Administer (RTA) bag. Until now, compounding of oncology products was done at compounding centres or compounded in hospital pharmacies, an extra step before the medicine can be administered to patients.

With the roll-out of Gemcitabine InfuSMART, the pharma major becomes world’s first pharmaceutical company to manufacture and launch a licensed RTA oncology product. This innovatively differentiated product will have a shelf life of two years. Over the next few months, Sun Pharma will launch Gemcitabine InfuSMART across Netherlands, UK, Spain, Germany, Italy & France.

Sun Pharma received regulatory approval to produce Gemcitabine InfuSMART in eight key SKUs. The InfuSMART concept involves dose banding practice whereby, through agreement between prescribers and pharmacists, standardized doses of intravenous cytotoxic drugs are used for ranges (or bands) of doses calculated for individual patients. More InfuSMART oncology products are currently in Sun Pharma’s pipeline to be rolled out in the future.
