Access our latest poster from AAPS 2021- Pharmaceutical and clinical performance comparisons of modified release multiparticulates and matrix tablet formulations. The purpose of this study is to review practical experiences of head to head pharmaceutical and clinical comparisons of MUPs and matrix tablet platforms to identify an optimal MR formulation.

Poster presentation at NERDG 2021 Annual Meeting. In this poster we demonstrate an optimized approach to developing oral modified-release (MR) dosage forms using the Translational Pharmaceutics platform. This approach uses emerging human data to inform adjustment of formulation composition in an adaptive clinical study.

Risk-Based Site Monitoring (RBSM) has been developed as an effective approach to overseeing clinical trials without compromising ethics, volunteer safety, data integrity, quality, timelines, and regulatory compliance. This approach is based on risk assessment, mitigation and, when possible, the removal of risks allowing the allocation of the resources in the activities where they are needed the most.

Here we describe how the integration of formulation development, compounding and GMP manufacturing activities within the FIH to POC program can streamline development and maximize potential for clinical success.

During high shear wet massing, changes in impellor torque occur as a result of changes in cohesive forces in the wet powder bed, and can be used to assess end points. However, for these formulations the change in torque was not sensitive enough for end point identification. Optimal end point for extrusion-spheronization reached just before the traditional wet granulation end point.

Gamma scintigraphy is a proven imaging technique used to visualize the in vivo performance of pharmaceutical dosage forms. Combined with pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, the clinical outcomes provide an understanding of the impact of formulation composition, patient factors and human physiology on in vivo drug absorption. For oral solid dosage forms, technetium-99m and indium-111 are the most commonly used radioisotopes for scintigraphy studies. These radioisotopes can be directly incorporated into the formulations during manufacture or spiking into the drug product. For formulations such as multiparticulates, it would be challenging to radiolabel using these conventional methods. Therefore a specifically designed radiolabelled surrogate with similar physical properties to active multiparticulate was required.
