After presenting Hovione’s formulation screening and scale-up methodologies for amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) by spray drying, the webinar series will conclude by discussing the link between development, process validation and lifecycle management.

​​​​Inês Salsinha and Tiago Porfirio will explain how to perform a critical and extensive evaluation of potential failure modes, how to carry out risk assessment and how to define criticality to enable a successful Process Performance Qualification (PPQ).

Commercialization of ASDs requires statistical tools and methodologies to enable the continued process verification (CPV) application and ensure that the process remains under control. In this session, participants will gain insights into the importance of continuous improvement supported by continuous data analysis. The speakers will also outline the importance of commercial experience when using spray drying to produce ASDs. Case studies, namely regarding post approval changes, will be presented, and discussed.

 

Your Key Learning Objectives: 

  • Learn how to apply Quality Risk Management tools to get a successful Process Validation while ensuring a robust commercial stage.
  • Learn how statistical tools support the commercial lifecycle enhancing process control and product quality.
  • Discover how Continued Process Verification (CPV) and Product Quality Review (PQR) are key for a continuous improvement strategy.

 

Who Should Attend: 
This webinar is suitable for anyone working in formulation and process development of amorphous solid dispersions, procurement, and outsourcing teams or project managers, who are interested in understanding the end-to-end process for validation and commercialization of an ASD by Spray Drying.

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: (...)

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
