On June 14, José Luís Santos, Director of Technology Intensification will host a session on “The Role of a CDMO in Accelerating the Adoption of Continuous Tableting” and will join a group of experts during a panel discussion on the topic of “Continuous Manufacturing of solid dosage forms: state of the art and future advances”.

 

Session | The Role of a CDMO in Accelerating the Adoption of Continuous Tableting

Wednesday 14 June, 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM (Theatre 2)

 

The application of continuous tableting (CT) is steadily developing a foundation in the pharmaceutical industry. Large pharma organizations have been at the forefront of adoption due to their evolving development pipelines that justify the technological disruption. However, systemic application of CT requires more than individually owned installations and can only be achieved with the partnership of the health authorities, equipment vendors, and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs).

A CDMO role is particularly important for the adoption of emerging technologies such as CT, in that an equipment standard needs to be established where most of the industry can seamlessly integrate with their own development, manufacturing, and supply chains. The processes and knowledge of owning and operating the technology must be broad, yet robust, to assure that the benefits outweigh the perceived risks by a meaningful margin.

This talk will focus on the key areas that require attention for the adoption of CT by the industry, and how at Hovione we are setting ourselves up for successful deployment of the technology.
