Welcome to ELSIE
The Extractables and Leachables Safety Information Exchange (ELSIE) Consortium formed in 2007 seeking to be the leading industry voice and scientific resource on extractables and leachables (E&L). The consortium is comprised of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies.
The ELSIE Consortium
-
Collects, reviews, and compiles toxicological data on leachables and extractables in an information-rich database, enabling rigorous assessments.
-
Advances understanding of the impact of extractables and leachables on product quality and process performance.
-
Provides opportunities to share and leverage experiences, insights, and practices with respect to the potential safety impact of drug product packaging, delivery and manufacturing systems.
-
Advances the state of the art in chemical/toxicological assessment of leachables and extractables by supporting and publishing research and participating in the global scientific and regulatory communities.
2022 Year in Review
Public Call for Expert in Sensitization Assessment of Extractables and Leachables (E&L) in Parenteral Drug Products - Deadline May 17
ELSIE is seeking an expert to join in discussions on: the development of a framework for sensitization assessment of E&Ls in parenteral pharmaceutical products through in silico sensitization analysis of an E&L dataset (~800 compounds from ELSIE and PQRI databases); expert review of sensitization data and potency classifications; for substances classified as a sensitizer, experimental or predicted potency values converted to a dose (µg/day) and distribution plotted to compare to existing safety thresholds. The ELSIE Sensitization workstream will evaluate the candidates and make the final recommendation for membership. Click here for more background and details on this volunteer role.
The ELSIE Consortium is proud to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of its members. Each year ELSIE presents awards to participants who made significant contributions to ELSIE initiatives.
In 2022 the ELSIE Chair Awards went to Melisa Masuda-Herrera (Gilead Sciences) and Petra Booij (GSK) for their outstanding leadership and many contributions.
