Manufacturing Amorphous Solid Dispersions for Continuous Direct Compression: Streamlining End-to-End Formulation and Process Development

 

This presentation will provide an end-to-end overview of an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) development approach focusing not only on selecting the best excipients (including alternative excipients to broaden the formulation landscape) but also how to convert it into a commercially viable process as a final oral dosage form by Continuous Direct Compression. Using a streamlined approach and proprietary technologies, an overview of how to expedite the screening phase and process development with minimal API requirements will be given. This not only shortens the time to Phase I/IND by accelerating formulation and process development but also improves supply chain flexibility and opens new possibilities for Lifecycle Management. To deliver a successful ASD-based oral dosage form by Continuous Direct Compression, the following aspects must be considered: 1) high-throughput screening, 2) digital twins and scale-up models, and 3) integrated ASD and tablet formulation / process development. Hovione case studies on enabling Continuous Direct Compression of ASDs will be discussed.

 

Key learnings:

  • Unleashing full potential of ASDs requires integrated optimization of formulations and processes, leveraging integrated high throughput formulation platforms (ASD-HIPROS) to reduce time to Phase I/IND.
  • Engineered Spray Dried powders are amenable to Continuous Direct Compression, which greatly simplifies drug product process trains and improves supply chain flexibility / Lifecycle Management options.

 

Schedule a meeting with our experts and learn how we can maximize the potential of your ASD development and streamline your drug product processes.

Hovione is bringing momentum to the intranasal field after announcing that its lead single-use nasal dry powder device, developed in collaboration with Industrial Design Consultancy Ltd (IDC), is now available for commercial partnerships. The milestone marks the transition from prototype to a fully integrated intranasal drug delivery platform that spans Hovione’s end-to-end partnership capabilities–from API synthesis through advanced formulation and particle engineering to drug product manufacturing, including device supply and advanced analytical tools for nasal performance characterization. The platform’s single-use device is designed to be manufacturable at scale and to leverage existing advanced particle engineering and drug product manufacturing capabilities, a practical advantage that can shorten timelines to clinic and commercialization while reducing development risk and cost. The device’s patented mechanism supports targeted nasal deposition, including access to the upper olfactory region. This enables rapid systemic absorption and potential nose-to-brain delivery pathways that are increasingly important for CNS and emergency-use indications. Beyond the single-use format, Hovione and IDC are advancing a multi-dose variant to broaden applicability across dosing regimens and therapeutic areas. The collaboration is backed by an intellectual property portfolio and initial patent grants, positioning the platform as a turnkey option for pharma partners seeking a single integrated supplier for both drug substance and device. This development arrives as intranasal delivery gains traction for systemic, CNS and rapid-onset therapies. This is precisely the focus of the upcoming 4th Nasal Formulation & Delivery Summit, for which Hovione is a key sponsor. The annual summit unites formulation, delivery and product development leaders to tackle drug-device compatibility, translational preclinical models, and strategies for scalable, regulatory-ready intranasal programs. Hovione’s recent progress will be highly relevant to attendees looking to de-risk nose-to-brain and systemic intranasal programs. Read the full article at News-Medical.net
