West Pharmaceutical Services, a global leader in innovative injectable drug administration solutions, has unveiled its West Synchrony™ Prefillable Syringe System (PFS) at CPHI Worldwide in Frankfurt, Germany. The company stated that the new system represents a major advancement in drug delivery technology, offering a fully verified, single-supplier platform that will be available commercially in January 2026. Synchrony is a trademark of West Pharmaceutical Services in the United States and other jurisdictions.
The West Synchrony PFS system is built to deliver a complete, system-level solution tailored for biologics and vaccines. According to the company, it redefines the prefillable syringe landscape by providing comprehensive performance and regulatory data packages that help accelerate syringe selection and streamline the development process.
“Leaders in drug development face pressures to meet milestones efficiently amid complex challenges, amongst them, selecting prefillable syringes. They currently rely on fragmented approaches—assembling component data from multiple suppliers or outsourcing piecemeal verification, which risks delays, increased costs and regulatory setbacks,” said Andy Polywacz, President of Integrated Systems at West. “With West Synchrony prefillable syringe system, it enables pharmaceutical companies to streamline design, accelerate regulatory submission, and secures a reliable supply chain for combination products that meets quality and volume needs.”
Among the key advantages highlighted by West are:
- Design and System-Level Performance: A single design verification and characterization package from West confirming the form, fit, and function of the complete PFS system.
- Regulatory Ease with Comprehensive Submission: A simplified submission process with one system-level drug master file and an integrated regulatory package addressing broad compliance requirements.
- Single Source Supply: The system is based on a single-supplier setup that provides both make-to-stock and make-to-order options, with low minimum order quantities to keep supply flexible and dependable.
