Extrapolating data from adult clinical trials to a pediatric population is a proven method to avoid unnecessary pediatric clinical trials. Representatives of the Pediatric Working Group of the IQ Consortium share case studies that demonstrate how adult clinical trial data can be used to support the dose selection and regimen—or waive the need for a placebo control arm—for pediatric studies.
The authors discuss a strategy for developing a risk-based approach for testing of elemental impurities in leachable studies.
The advantages of using an automated powder dispensing system in a ventilated balance enclosure for efficient handling and effective containment of potent compounds are discussed.
Research suggests that intranasal nanosuspensions offer a promising way to formulate and deliver drugs that are poorly soluble in water to patients with chronic conditions.
Basic principles of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and its impact in streamlining the drug development process are reviewed.
The regulatory landscape for bioequivalence continues to evolve, leveraging a broader suite of characterization techniques. These not only provide deeper product understanding, but also utility for generic product development as the potential for replacement of costly clinical studies becomes more of a reality.
This study reviews changes in in-country testing (registration testing, import testing) requirements and analyzes current trends. In the context of international harmonization of good practices and standards as well as the improved information exchange between national regulatory authorities, in-country testing is considered outdated and redundant in many cases.
AFI representatives of the process validation working group explore and define key elements for an enhanced approach to process validation for sterile liquid and freeze-dried forms.
Starting early to discuss the secondary packaging strategy can save you time and money. From our experience as a globally leading CDMO we would like give you some food for thought.
The complexity of the RNA production process creates challenges.
Although there are no regulatory requirements or established pharmacopoeial techniques for the dissolution testing of inhaled drugs, such testing can potentially open up the opportunity to tailor formulation properties.
The purpose of this article was to demonstrate the application of a new thermogelling matrix in the healing of wounds.
Analyzation of a diverse set of PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras – a class of TPDs) structures and their calculated properties, identifying key structure-property trends that contribute to low oral bioavailability.
Statistics are often viewed as confusing and complicated, but multivariate data analysis (MVA) methods can be used to amass knowledge simply.
By eliminating the waste involved in traditional approaches to project set-up and execution, integrated project delivery helps innovators in the European life sciences market meet their fast-track delivery targets.

A new approach to testing water content in biologics is needed that will give a more accurate determination of actual water content in the biologic.
Learn how enzymatic chemistry increases conversion efficiency for higher yields with fewer by-products, and what to look for in an API CDMO partner for biocatalysis.
Sharing process insights across the stages of drug development improves tech transfer.
Researchers demonstrated a new cell lysis method using a novel solution to improve viral vector production.
Asking why things are done a certain way will help make an accurate assessment of an organization’s EM program, says Susan Schniepp, distinguished fellow at Regulatory Compliance Associates, and Zachary S. Anderson, global market segment lead—Sterility Assurance, Nelson Laboratories.
During the past decade, the pharmaceutical industry has increased its use of information technology (IT) in research and development, production, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products. IT systems must be operated and maintained within a compliance-oriented framework to minimize risks; maximize safety and security, integrity, accuracy, reliability of information; and maintain product quality, For IT vendors and service providers, meeting requirements for qualification and validation calls for substantial investments in terms of creating capability, expertise, and resources. The author discusses the implications, challenges, and solutions in managing IT infrastructure qualification and validation in an FDA-regulated environment, particularly at vendor sites.
The potential for okra gum as a polymer candidate for new oral drug formulations was evaluated.
Preparation is essential for regulatory meetings—it not only crystallizes what is needed from the regulators, it helps them better understand the development programme and potential challenges.
As a result of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, global arbitration has adapted to a ‘new normal’.
Model-based approaches and digital analytics are improving flexibility at both the equipment and the manufacturing-line level.
We have recently launched a novel personalised therapy clinical trial to treat patients with late-stage colorectal cancer at George Mason University's Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine (CAPMM). This is one of the most cutting-edge personalised therapy clinical trials in the world for several reasons including
