Executive Summary - Strategies for the Optimal Scale-up & Tech Transfer of Oral Small Molecules
August 21st 2023The transition from early phase to late phase of a small molecule program plays a pivotal role in determining a program’s ultimate success. Early planning strategies can help minimize the burdens often faced in that transition. The implementation of modeling tools to analyze the relationships between material attributes, process parameters and product performance can provide an enhanced understanding of the drug product and improve manufacturing efficiency. In this executive summary, experts will demonstrate how Catalent’s (multivariate) modeling tools can help understand the relationship between material Critical Material Attributes (CMAs), unit operation Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) and their impact on the finished dosage. In addition, the experts will explain how these approaches can facilitate in the tech transfer of a program. Lastly, this executive summary includes an overview of Catalent’s oral solid dose turnkey solutions featuring advanced oral solid dosage (OSD) manufacturing technologies and expertise throughout an extensive global network.

CMC Considerations for Successful Early Drug Development (Mar 2023)
March 22nd 2023A key hurdle for any drug development program is bringing the drug to clinical studies. Astute companies strategize past this milestone and plan for clinical and regulatory success. Lack of preparation for scale-up activities needed for eventual commercialization can often cause major time delays, increased costs, and a significant amount of rework. This eBook provides insights on key approaches and considerations for preparing your program for long-term success.
Developing Optimized Formulations with Minimal Drug Substance
March 22nd 2023Advances in silico and experimental techniques mean that APIs and prototype formulations can be thoroughly characterised using multiple material sparing assays, allowing the most promising formulation candidates to move on to in vivo studies.
Partnering for Success: Strategies to Mitigate Common Pitfalls in Early Drug Development
March 22nd 2023Thousands of drug candidates are abandoned annually due to solubility and bioavailability issues, but advanced formulation technologies can profoundly impact how a drug compound is processed in the body and improve the fate of many of these candidates, improving pharmacokinetic profiles and pharmacodynamic responses. Two Catalent experts discuss the ways companies can address issues with low bioavailability, and the benefits of enlisting an experienced drug development partner.
Optimizing the Path from Pre-Clinical to Clinical Development (Mar 2023)
March 22nd 2023Timely progression of a drug candidate into clinical trials is critical for pharmaceutical companies seeking to bring new products to the market. Streamlining chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) development can help accelerate this process, as well as help yield better success as the drug product moves through the early phase of clinical studies.
Strategies for De-risking Early-Phase Oral Small Molecule Drug Development
March 21st 2023Developers anxious to move their small molecule to Phase I may not have the time or resources to fully characterize the druggability of their candidate. Issues that could delay or even derail the program may appear in later clinical studies. Catalent has the resources to characterize lead molecules and develop the best pathway to bring them to Phase I studies and beyond.
Proven Bioavailability Enhancement Solutions for Scalable and Robust Products (Mar 2023)
March 21st 2023Lipid formulation and spray-dried dispersions are widely used, and proven technologies to overcome bioavailability challenges for poorly soluble molecules. For selecting the most suitable formulation technologies in early-phase development, formulation scientists regard efficacy, safety, bioavailability and stability as their top priorities. However, an early-phase formulation strategy should also consider scale-up and manufacturing challenges that may arise later in development. If bioavailability and manufacturing challenges are not addressed in early development, the cost and overall timeline of the project may be negatively impacted. Therefore, developing a bioavailable formulation that is easy to scale-up with superior dose uniformity is imperative for a product’s success.
Optimizing the Path from Pre-Clinical to Clinical Development
December 7th 2022Timely progression of a drug candidate into clinical trials is critical for pharmaceutical companies seeking to bring new products to the market. Streamlining chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) development can help accelerate this process, as well as help yield better success as the drug product moves through the early phase of clinical studies.
