AAPS Seminar: Accelerating Development for Challenging Compounds: Enabling Technologies, Parallel Processes, Rigorous Data

Monday, October 26, 2015 • 1:00 PM–4:00 PM (EDT)

Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL

OVERVIEW

This seminar provided an overview of a structured approach with parallel formulation feasibility assessment that is designed to reveal the most suitable pathway to enhance bioavailability and accelerate development. Speakers also discussed the latest developments in enabling technologies: Lipid Based Delivery Systems, Particle Size Engineering, Amorphous Systems, Solid State Optimization.

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES

During the early stages of drug development process (i.e. preclinical to Phase I), scientists are often faced with a set of challenges to deliver against the Target Product Profile, with the top three being bioavailability, stability, and delivery profile. A viable bioavailability enhancement toolkit already exists. However, to accelerate development and discharge risk at an early phase, it is essential to examine and rank multiple delivery options in parallel. This approach optimizes the performance of the drug candidates advanced through early preclinical and clinical studies.

Learn more about:

  • The structured parallel screening approach can help expedite your development at early stage
  • Enabling formulation technologies and toolkit such as lipid based formulation, solid dispersion and particle size reduction
