Spray-drying is a preferred process for manufacturing amorphous solid dispersions to provide oral bioavailability enhancement for low-solubility small molecules, which represent approximately 70% of the new chemical entity pipeline. A robust, efficient scale-up process that ensures critical-to-quality attributes (CQAs) are maintained is crucial to the commercial viability of these molecules.
This webinar focuses on manufacturing aspects of amorphous spray-dried dispersions (SDDs) to enable successful scale-up and optimization of the process. An overview of spray-drying and typical scale-up challenges will be presented along with methodologies that enable rapid scale-up that is right the first time from clinical to commercial scale.
Register for this webinar to hear the details of a case study demonstrating a scale-up approach for compounds that have favorable bioavailability when using the SDD platform, however, scalability is constrained due to limited compound solubility in typical processing solvents. For these compounds, one proven approach is to use a superheated solution spray-drying process to enable batch scale-up or to avoid less desirable processing solvent options.
