Overview:
Formulation strategies for orally administered small molecules can vary widely for early phase clinical studies and are not always optimal for the program. Sponsors should consider a wide range of formulation options as they develop program strategies, weighing level of effort versus clinical needs for the short and long term. This webinar will discuss formulation strategies and their appropriateness depending on drug properties, dosing requirements, and corporate strategy.
Key Learning Objectives:
To understand various formulation approaches and the situations in which each is best utilized
To balance formulation level of effort vs clinical needs (or wants)
To identify common issues, traps, and unforced errors in formulation development
Who Should Attend:
Executives in charge of development of new small-molecules
Formulation and analytical scientists
Professionals overseeing the design of clinical studies
