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.

Solving Complex Pharmaceutical Challenges

Jul 10, 2025

The global inhalation contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) market is projected to grow from USD 9.13 billion in 2025 to USD 16.68 billion by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases, advancements in inhalation drug delivery technologies, and the rising demand for outsourced manufacturing services in the pharmaceutical industry. The inhalation CDMO market has emerged as a pivotal segment in the pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing industry. With a rising demand for inhaled therapies for conditions like asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis, companies are increasingly outsourcing drug development and production to specialized partners. Inhalation CDMO services cater to both large pharmaceutical corporations and small biotech firms, offering expertise in formulation, device compatibility, regulatory support, and scale-up manufacturing. This market is gaining traction due to the complexity of inhalation drug delivery, which often requires niche technical capabilities and specialized equipment. Outsourcing to an inhalation CDMO allows drug developers to reduce time-to-market while ensuring quality and compliance with global standards. (...) Top Companies Several players dominate the inhalation CDMO market through technological expertise, global reach, and service portfolio diversity: (...) Hovione – Offers particle engineering and inhalation development, with a focus on dry powder inhalers. (...) These companies are continually investing in facilities, talent, and technology to meet evolving customer needs in the inhalation CDMO market.   Read the full article on Pharmiweb.com

Inhalation CDMO Market Growth Analysis & Forecast 2025 to 2035

Jun 25, 2025

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
