Executive Summary - Strategies for the Optimal Scale-up & Tech Transfer of Oral Small Molecules
The 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.
Flexible-Dosage Development Strategies for Today's Clinical Landscape
January 8th 2025This executive summary focuses on dose-flexible manufacturing strategies and their role in drug development. Dose flexibility is increasingly important for early clinical studies, particularly in areas such as pediatric medicines and oncology. However, flexible dosing strategies are often neglected or not prioritized early in development. This presentation will focus on technical strategies that can help anticipate appropriate timing for implementation and how to do so cost effectively while adhering to required timelines.
Diving Deep into Carrier-Based Formulation and Process Optimization
December 23rd 2024Carrier-based formulations for dry powder inhalers are carefully designed to transport extremely small particles into the lungs. Jet milling can be used to micronize these particles, with both high and low shear mixing processes used to formulate mixtures capable of carrying the fine API particles into the deep lung. This paper looks at the requirements for pulmonary delivery via carrier-based inhaled powder formulations, and how jet milling can be used to manufacture effective and stable materials for these formulations
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.
