Synopsis

The number of drug candidates that present low solubility issues has been increasing over the past years. Amorphous Solid Dispersions (ASDs) are an established platform to address bioavailability challenges of poorly soluble drug candidates, offering many of the advantages of more conventional solid oral dosage forms while providing faster dissolution rates and higher drug concentrations. Suboptimal formulations of poorly soluble compounds may result in clinical failures, ultimately increasing the development timeline and associated costs towards identifying a winning candidate. Register now!

 

Targeted at APIs with poor solubility issues, ASD-HIPROS, Hovione’s Intelligent Proprietary Screening, is a methodology able to evaluate if formulations by Spray Drying are viable candidates towards solving poor bioavailability issues. Equipped with a computational platform coupled with state-of-the-art analytical and spray drying technologies, this platform is able to deliver optimal formulations in record time with minimal consumption of API, maximizing the chance of identifying a successful formulation and accelerating development towards clinical supplies.

 

Who should attend:

  1. Formulators
  2. Scientists
  3. Investigators and Research fellows
  4. R&D personnel
  5. Technical services personnel

CDMO Hovione and biotechnology company Firstgene Life Sciences (of Xlife Sciences) have collaborated to advance Hovione’s drug delivery platform for the targeted treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). “We are proud to advance the development of innovative oncology treatments that address a critical unmet need for precision gene expression at the tissue level,” said Hovione CEO Dr Jean-Luc Herbeaux. The virus-like particle technology will be engineered and functionalised for the specific carcinoma cell type using therapeutically validated AAVs, including a novel primer compound. Hovione will be responsible for molecular engineering, the supply of tailor-made virus-like particles and the execution of proof-of-concept studies. “HCC, the most common liver cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related death, continues to represent a major unmet medical need,” said Firstgene managing director Dr Alexander Zink. “The combination of Hovione’s expertise in complex chemistry and particle engineering and the commercialisation expertise of Xlife Sciences positions Firstgene well to offer patients potential new safe and effective therapy options.”   Read the full article at scientistlive.com

Partnership advances liver cancer treatment

May 12, 2025

Dear Customer, As you may be aware, Portugal and Spain experienced yesterday, April 28 (at approximately 11:30) a widespread power outage. This unexpected event, beyond our control, affected the normal activities at our sites in Portugal. In response, we promptly activated our contingency protocols for this type of situation, prioritizing the safety of facilities and personnel. All ongoing processes were taken to safe hold points, and no new processes were initiated. Our backup power generators ensured continuity of critical functions throughout the duration of the outage, which lasted approximately 11 hours, until the power from the grid was restored at the site. The site began resuming operations gradually through the night making sure all systems being restarted safely and verified to be in good working conditions. We anticipate that most activities will be fully resumed during today. Should you have any specific questions regarding your product or project, we kindly encourage you to contact your Account Manager or Project Manager, who will be glad to assist you. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued partnership.

Widespread power outage in Portugal - Message to our clients

Apr 29, 2025

In a recent appearance on CNN Portugal’s Pitch – Brand & Content program, Ilda Ventura, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Hovione, highlighted a powerful reality: 55% of our employees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) roles are women. At Hovione, we’re proud to foster an environment where women in science thrive - leading innovation, driving progress, and shaping the future of healthcare. But our commitment goes beyond numbers - it’s about creating the right conditions for scientific talent to grow, equally and globally. “I am proud to say that, in our company, there is no gender pay gap between men and women. We empower everyone. Our female and male scientists are all working to find more sustainable, faster, and more productive ways to achieve victories over diseases.” - Ilda Ventura Watch the full edition to learn more about our commitment to women in science at CNNPortugal.pt  (Language: Portuguese)
