Pioneering access to complex generic products 

Drug Discovery World

In many cases, it is also challenging to apply traditional bioequivalence methods or to ensure clarity about the comparison model (in-vitro/in-vivo) needed to gain health authority approval. Off-patent medicines today account for about 80% of global prescriptions at an estimated 20% of the total cost. What are complex generics?

How PK Modeling Can Inform Sample Size Estimation and Dose Selection for Your Product

Camargo

Drug development is an extremely cumbersome process, requiring the testing of an agent from in vitro studies to in vivo studies to in silico modeling. Pharmacokinetics (PK) and bioequivalence (BE) studies serve as the foundation of determining the fate of drug products. Approaches to Pharmacokinetic Analysis.

Topical products: Aiming for quality, simplicity, and cost-efficiency in their development, scale-up, and manufacturing

Pharmaceutical Technology

In vitro release testing to demonstrate bioequivalence. It requires having access to proper techniques and skill sets, state-of-the-art equipment, process scientists and engineers who have a deep understanding of Quality by Design (QbD) principles, and methods for product and process characterisation. Simplicity matters.

The Important Role that Biopharmaceutics Plays in Accelerating Early-Phase Drug Development

Pharmaceutical Technology

Many compounds present sub-optimal pharmacokinetic (PK) data (either predicted from in-vitro and pre-clinical data or measured in the clinic), such as poor exposure (leading to high doses), large variability, short half-life requiring more than once-a-day dosing, or C max -related adverse events (AEs).
