Watch this interview and learn how advances in patient-centric drug delivery are transforming ten23 health's development strategies as a next-generation CDMO.

How ten23 health is Advancing Patient-Centric Drug Delivery

CEO of the Year finalist at 2025 CPHI Pharma Awards, Prof. Dr. Mahler Hanns-Christian, who serves as CEO and co-founder of ten23 health, explains how ten23 health is helping shape the future of patient-centric drug delivery systems and the evolving expectations of modern CDMOs. He shares how industry limitations—particularly around flexibility, innovation, and patient-focused design—motivated him to co-found the company and build a new model for sterile drug product development and manufacturing.

Prof. Dr. Hanns-Christian comments on the growing demand for subcutaneous and self-injection therapies, highlighting why ease of use, patient comfort, and real-world administration are becoming central considerations in formulation and device design. He also explains how CDMOs can better support pharma partners by integrating delivery-system thinking early in development, strengthening supply chain reliability, and offering high-quality testing and sterile manufacturing capabilities at scale.

Sustainability is another major theme of the conversation. He outlines how next-generation CDMOs can embed responsible operations, energy efficiency, and waste reduction into everyday decision-making—advancing both environmental goals and long-term business resilience. 

Looking ahead, Prof. Dr. Hanns-Christian shares what excites him most about the future: expanded manufacturing capacity, continued innovation in patient-centric delivery, and new opportunities to elevate quality, reliability, and patient outcomes across the drug product lifecycle.

This webinar will focus on multiple facets concerning the administration of biological drug products and product quality. It will touch on topics like designing studies to fit MABEL, diluent compatibility, lean and efficient study designs incorporating various administration container materials, diluent choice, equilibration and hold-time procedures. It will include selecting appropriate filter types, handling steps, potential impacts on dose, microbial sterility and product interactions. Additionally, it will explore analytical method requirements and the application of closed system transfer devices (CSTDs).

Biological drug products (DPs) need to maintain product quality during administration to ensure patient safety, considering diverse administration conditions across various clinical sites and hospitals. Key aspects involve handling procedures, DP compatibility with the administration container, assessing product quality and stability during hold time and administration, ensuring sterility, and verifying accurate dosage delivery. The focus on CSTDs with biologics has increased recently, possibly affecting dose delivery and drug product compatibility.
