A partner with experts who are adept at working with complex, sensitive, and potent APIs; screening for the optimal formulation; and scaling up efficiently is vital for successful trials and commercialization.

See how an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) of acalabrutinib was designed using in vitro studies and in silico modeling. Understand how ASD formulations can enhance bioavailability.

Examine challenges and key considerations for spray-dried formulations for inhalation, along with a review of current technologies and approved products utilizing particle engineering approaches.

Using volatile processing aids to increase drug solubility in more environmentally friendly solvents, like methanol, reduces the amount of solvent required to manufacture amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs).
