Enterprise process control and management (EPCAM) is a new strategy for healthcare manufacturers based on recent process-control breakthroughs in the electronics industry.
Both biosimilar and generic drugs have an abbreviated approval process; however, the clinical trial requirements differ enormously.
Emerging new technologies and disruptive manufacturing concepts are providing new opportunities for pharmaceutical companies.
Whether biologic manufacturers decide to outsource or develop products internally, the quality of a CDMO partnership is critical to success, especially for cell and gene therapy products.
In this paper, the authors introduce a method that combines ion exchange chromatography with an easier-to-perform, simpler one-step post-column derivatization that is selective to nitrite and visible spectrophotometric detection to allow high sample loading volumes without affecting resolution.

Mannitol is the most commonly used bulking agent in freeze-drying formulation design. The benefit of using mannitol is that it crystallizes during freezing and permits drying processes at higher product temperatures, and thus with higher sublimation rates relative to purely amorphous systems (1). Mannitol, however, is known to form different crystalline modifications which compromises reproducibility of product characteristics and storage stability due to phase transformations (2, 3).
AST’s VP of Business Development, Josh Russell, discusses the company’s impact on the pharmaceutical industry using innovative fill/finish equipment.
The authors describe a new method for the production of personalised medicines utilising ultra-precise microdrop printing technology.
Change of lot or extension of reference standard shelf-life is considered low risk and should be downgraded from prior-approval to being managed in the Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS) only based on a science and risk-based approach.
There is a great need for sensitive, precise, and easily accessible analytical detection techniques for protein sequencing.
Digital maintenance solutions can help visualize the value and key activities provided by the equipment vendor from inception to utilization.
This article explores the concerns with cleaning pharmaceutical products utilizing LNP delivery vehicles and provides a general cleaning recommendation based on laboratory and field testing.
This paper presents results from an orthogonal study using isothermal titration calorimetry measurements and biased molecular dynamics simulations.
Novel hydrophobic bioadhesive polymers and dosage designs are now available to effectively achieve tailored release kinetics of a broad range of drugs to meet the clinical needs.
Emerging new technologies and disruptive manufacturing concepts are providing new opportunities for pharmaceutical companies.
This paper reviews considerations for the formulation of chewable tablets including sensory characteristics, chewability assessment, and drug release.
When considering whether to outsource work to a CRO, there are a number of factors to assess, including the type of work that may be outsourced, regulatory considerations, and needs for the study.
The purpose of this research was to formulate modified liquisolid compacts (MLSC) of RLX for improved dissolution in immediate-release tablet formulations.
USP's guideline for pending monographs can speed up publication of monograhs and time to market.
Tests evaluated commercial rotary tablet presses to see how effectively they deal with problems such as poor flow, overlubrication, and capping.
The epilepsy treatment, Potiga, has been used off-label to treat specific types of epilepsy in some children. However, it has never been formally evaluated in pediatric clinical trials. Using a modified QbD approach, the authors have developed a granular formulation suitable for use in clinical trials involving infants and children.
Accelerated drug development timelines must accommodate all crucial elements of nonclinical safety studies.
Basic principles of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and its impact in streamlining the drug development process are reviewed.
Excipients should be regulated to manage risk. Although, excipients are an integral part of a finished pharmaceutical product, the issue of regulation is complex.
The United States Pharmacopeia emphasizes mechanical calibration and a performance test to esnure integrity of the dissolution procedure.
Stringent patentability requirements present a challenge to obtaining broad-based antibody claims, so companies should develop a strategy based on multiple reinforcing layers of protection.
Considerable efforts have been made over the years to resolve the key issues of stability and delivery of RNA-based therapeutics.
