Earlier this month, members of the Heluna Health team were thrilled to attend the celebration of Lot 8 of BabyBIG®, the life-saving treatment for infant botulism hosted at Takeda's Los Angeles manufacturing site. Our team joined colleagues from our partner, the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program (IBTPP), along with Takeda leadership and staff, and the BabyBIG® production team for a memorable morning honoring this important milestone. Following a series of process demonstrations and a guided tour of the quality control laboratory, the celebration concluded with inspiring remarks and the eagerly awaited arrival of Lot 8 of plasma, generously donated by adult volunteers, that is processed to produce BabyBIG®. To date, BabyBIG® has treated 3,795 patients in the U.S. and internationally. Heluna Health is proud to support this critical work through our partnership with IBTPP.
