Lipid-based formulations (LBFs) and softgels can offer numerous advantages in terms of clinical and commercial potential. Integrating formulation and manufacturing to enhance drug solubility and market speed can help unlock these benefits. Learn more about:

When selecting a clinical supply provider, consideration often focuses upon the manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution capabilities available that will, at face-value, be sufficient to meet the needs of the sponsor and their trial. However, there are human-based and knowledge-driven factors that are often overlooked that go beyond these basic physical capabilities and are integral to the development and delivery of high performing clinical supply chains. Having a team of individuals with specialized expertise in different areas of clinical supply—including protocol review and early operational planning, to managing the development and execution of a sound clinical supply strategy—can prove invaluable to the overall suitability and performance of the supply chain, and in turn, the successful execution of the study itself.

When a CRO is bidding on a project where clinical supplies will be one of the aspects to manage on behalf of the client via a partner, leveraging the expertise of a chosen clinical supply partner can be a valuable resource in demonstrating the CRO’s understanding of and ability to deliver upon critical drug-supply related aspects of the project, and ability to hit key milestones such as FPI for their client. Additionally, once the CRO has been awarded the project and now must create an executable plan for managing the study’s complex clinical supply needs, there are one or more key decision influencers who are critical to engage early on during the planning and project set-up stage and several proactive steps to take to build a solid clinical supply plan.

The sourcing of commercial drugs for use in clinical trials either as a comparator, rescue or co-medication can be a complex process. Selecting the right partner with global sourcing, regulatory, quality and clinical packaging expertise can provide the necessary guidance to help sponsors successfully navigate these challenges.

Implementing automation involves careful optimization and fine-tuning of various parameters to ensure the accurate execution of cell-based potency assays.

Oral drug products that contain highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) continue to be a driving force in the global pharmaceutical market. In this Q&A article, industry experts discuss some of the challenges in HPAPI drug product manufacturing and the key issues sponsors should consider when partnering with a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO).

Developing and manufacturing complex novel oral solid dose products of highly potent compounds requires specialized expertise. The level of containment necessary for a potent drug product is not just limited to potent or non-potent classification. The degree of potency and specific risks will determine the level of containment needed to ensure operator safety and prevent cross contamination at the development and manufacturing facility. This article discusses how to effectively classify highly potent APIs (HPAPIs), and to help develop containment protocols and manufacturing processes that are both safe and efficient.

Catalent’s approach to containment mitigates cross-contamination risk and regulatory issues, ultimately safeguarding patients. Download this article written by Karolina Narczykiewicz, an EHS expert at Catalent Pharma.
