Alexandre Ribeiro, Inês Ramos, and Pedro Monteiro kick-off the series by focusing on the role of amorphous solid dispersions in modern oral drugs and how the right formulation for a drug candidate can be selected using Hovione’s proprietary screening methodology. This method is performed via an automated high-throughput system that was developed over many years of experience with formulation of ASDs. The speakers will provide an understanding of the methodology, the evaluation process, and the studies typically utilized, as well as key information needed to make a formal assessment of the best candidates.

 

Your Key Learning Objectives

  • Understand the increasing importance of amorphous solid dispersions in oral drug delivery of new chemical entities
  • Get an overview of Hovione’s methodology to screen the best formulations in amorphous solid dispersions for a given API candidate
  • Learn about the formulation criteria based on stability, performance, and manufacturability data

 

Who Should Attend 

This webinar is suitable for anyone working in formulation of oral drugs, procurement, and outsourcing teams or as a project manager, who is interested in understanding the whole assessment process and their role in it.

With key expansions coming to fruition on either side of the pond, specialist CDMO Hovione is making sure that drugmakers can access its particle engineering expertise across multiple geographies.  That flexibility will be key for the Portugal-based company in the coming years as the pharmaceutical industry continues to embrace more regional supply chains. In a recent interview, Hovione's David Basile, VP of technical operations for the Americas, discussed this trend and the manufacturer's expansion project, which is set to come online in New Jersey next month.  In the coming weeks, Hovione plans to debut a new spray drying expansion at its campus in East Windsor, New Jersey. The company has invested $100 million to expand its campus, including new construction and the acquisition of an additional facility and greenfield land.  Specifically, one of two pharmaceutical spray drying-3 units, or PSD-3 units, will come online in the coming weeks to tackle amorphous active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and amorphous solid dispersions, according to the company. With some 80% of new small molecules in development insoluble in water, Hovione’s particle engineering and amorphous solid dispersion platform helps medicine developers improve the solubility, bioavailability, and, in some cases, the stability of their drug candidates, Basile said.  The company boasts spray dryers from the lab scale to PSD3 at its original facility in East Windsor, in addition to the pair of large-scale machines about to be activated at the campus' new facility.  “We’re going for a single, unified site with capabilities across the campus to do drug substance through finished drug product under one governance and quality system,” - Basile told Fierce.   Read the full article at FiercePharma.com
