More than 40% of anticancer drugs, are poorly water-soluble, hence these drug’s results in poor bioavailability (BA) and high intra- and inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. Solid dispersion by HME improves solubility and being a contained system there is low dust formation and hence safe for handling of high potent drugs.

Product Development (composition & Process) Service and Activities:
Type of Development | Development Activities | Description of Activities | No. of Trials | Total material Qty. required* | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
End-to-End | Partial | Feasibility or POC trials | Assess technical feasibility (Screening of polymer/s, excipients and process condition) |
5-10 | 0.1 – 1 kg |
Prototype or trials | Develop prototypes formulations by HME, meeting the broad specification | 10-30 | 2 – 5 kg | ||
Long run Trials | Understanding the stability of the process run. (Run time 1-3 hrs) | 1-3 | 1-6 kg | ||
Pilot bio batch and stability | Manufacturing of the Pilot bio batch at identified manufacturing site | 1 – 3 | 1 – 5 kg | ||
Optimization Trial | DoE run to define design space for composition and process | 6-20 | 1 – 2 kg | ||
Scaleup | Scale up and Engineering batch |
Scale up on same scale of HME (long run) or higher scale HME at commercial scale |
5-10 | Depends on scale of the HME machine | |
Commercial manufacturing | Exhibit batch manufacturing at identified manufacturing site | 3 | Depends on scale of the HME machine |
* The drug loading would be 10 – 70 based on the product requirement
