Amorphous solid dispersions are an established enabling platform for low solubility BCS class II APIs. Spray drying has emerged as the preferred platform for the manufacturing of ASDs. In this webinar we will provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities in developing amorphous spray dried dispersions (SDDs) from bench to market.

We will show how first principles and empirical models can be used to leverage and accelerate the development of optimized and scalable SDD formulations. Coupled with data-based oral formulation development strategies, we will also demonstrate how to accelerate development programs, minimize material consumption and reduce time-to-clinic.

Risk mitigation approaches coupled with the proper set of computation and statistical analysis, stemming from a robust early process development, will be presented as a strategy to a smooth the transition from clinical to commercial with minimal experimentation at scale, reducing development burden, material consumption and time-to-market.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

  • How to accelerate development of SDD formulations
  • Importance of integrated formulation/process development
  • Mitigate risks during SDD scale-up/development

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
