The Event
In keeping with Oxford Global’s highly successful life sciences series, an expert panel of 40 speakers will present a full conference programme covering the topics outlined below.
Day 1 Stream 1: Optimising Formulation
Optimising formulation: improving stability and bioavailability
De-risking formulation strategy: IVIVC, predictive modelling, early screening, excipient compatibility testing
Advances in formulation testing: stability simulation testing, dissolution testing
Novel technologies: self-emulsifying technology, microformulations
Improving solubility: crystal engineering, solid dispersion, particle size reduction, hot melt extrusion
Day 1 Stream 2: Improving Drug Delivery
Enhancing drug efficacy from delivery: parenteral delivery, long-acting formulations
Characterising drug delivery action: imaging, particle size analysis
Difficult to deliver drugs: poorly soluble drugs, age appropriate delivery
The increasing role of nanotechnology in drug delivery
Drug delivery case studies: transdermal, sublingual
Day 2 Stream 1: Formulation and Drug Delivery Strategies for Biopharma
Pre-formulation activities for biologics: predicting protein behaviour, early screening for developability
Optimising biologics formulation: improving quality and stability
Formulating high concentration and high strength proteins
Formulation and delivery challenges for novel biological drug formats
New technology case studies: nanotechnology, HT methodologies
Biosimilar formulation and delivery
Day 2 Stream 2: Product Development Considerations
User-focused product development: what do patients need from administration systems?
Implementing Quality by Design from pre-formulation through to commercial manufacture
Managing external stakeholders: working with CROs, CMOs and regulators to create the optimal delivery system
Technology and process transfer: from formulation research to successful product launch
