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.
Molecular Properties of PROTACs and the Relationship to Formulation Design
December 20th 2024Analyzation 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.
Clinical Supply Planning in Europe - Balancing Cost, Flexibility and Time
December 19th 2024The packaging and distribution of clinical supplies is a fundamental piece to the overall success of a clinical trial, and advance preparation can help establish a more efficient supply chain. Selecting the best geographical location for those activities, however, depends on the clinical trial protocol, business decisions, and even the investigational medicinal product (IMP) being studied.
