The function of a pharmaceutical drug product or a medical device is to provide the patient with a desired therapeutic benefit. If the drug product or the medical device were pure (meaning without impurities), ideally the therapeutic benefit would be largely realized with minimal adverse patient effects. However, since the practical reality is that drug products and medical devices contain impurities, a patient is exposed to these impurities during treatment and these impurities could potentially trigger an increase of adverse patient effects.
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.
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.
