While the world pulls itself out from one of the worst crises in decades, Indian pharmaceutical companies are trying to capitalize on falling company prices by increasing their takeovers.
AFI representatives of the process validation working group explore and define key elements for an enhanced approach to process validation for sterile liquid and freeze-dried forms.
Continued process verification ensures pharmaceutical manufacturing stays in control through data analysis, trend detection, and lifecycle monitoring.
The epilepsy treatment, Potiga, has been used off-label to treat specific types of epilepsy in some children. However, it has never been formally evaluated in pediatric clinical trials. Using a modified QbD approach, the authors have developed a granular formulation suitable for use in clinical trials involving infants and children.
This article investigates the role of flavoring agents and taste modulation strategies and describes how these solutions can help to mask unpleasant tastes, improve palatability, and, ultimately, increase patient compliance to drive better treatment outcomes.
With the majority of large pharmaceutical manufacturers aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030, reusable packaging remains a largely untapped approach in achieving measurable ESG gains.
Flexible packaging benefits align with challenges including an aging population, compliance requirements, e-commerce, serialization, and a need for recyclability.
The complexities of tech transfer may be overcome by data-driven approaches, digital tools, and effective communication.
Explore how Rentschler Biopharma duels biopharmaceutical innovation, spanning from pioneering biological products to cutting-edge cell and gene therapies

Moisture Activated Dry Granulation (MADG) was developed in response to the difficulties experienced with wet granulation, in terms of endpoint, drying and milling. Wet granulation process endpoint is very sensitive to granulation time and shear. The wet granules need to be dried to a narrow range of moisture contents, which is difficult. The dried granules need to be milled, but the milled granules often have either too many fines or too many coarse particles (or both) - an undesirable bimodal distribution.
Determining E&L risk from single-use components can be used to build the level of extractable profiling and PERLs.
Significant improvements have been developed to tackle the challenges in viral vector manufacturing at each stage.
Emerging new technologies and disruptive manufacturing concepts are providing new opportunities for pharmaceutical companies.
Statistics are often viewed as confusing and complicated, but multivariate data analysis (MVA) methods can be used to amass knowledge simply.
Nanoparticles are increasingly being used to overcome low solubility and poor permeability.
Attendees at a recent workshop endorsed new methods to detect metals in drugs, dietary supplements, and food ingredients.
This review provides an update of how dendrimer technology is being applied to the development of novel systems for various topical delivery applications.
The growing use of continuous manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry merits a review of the application of dry cleaning and sanitization methods, especially for non-sterile oral solid drug product manufacturing of dry powders.
For planned acquisitions or licensing, a careful analysis of CMCl factors is vital to ensure no problem areas are overlooked.
KBI Biopharma has created a platform E.coli resulting in a PURE, efficient platform expression strain - PUREcoli™ - to reduce impurities and reach higher titers.
The whole pharma/biopharma industry is under pressure to deliver cost-effective new drugs; however, the number of new drug applications is getting lower as the size of investment is increasing.
As interest in cell and gene therapies continues to grow, the need for safe and consistent reagents to support research, development, and manufacture efforts also increases.
This article examines the difficulties in designing lyophilisation processes that can be faithfully scaled up to production volumes and suggests the most effective ways in which this can be achieved.
The authors describe the critical aspects of an ideal fermentation services provider.
Eli Lilly and Company developed an innovative and sustainable approach to audit trail review (ATR) aimed at reducing the ATR burden while adhering to regulatory expectations and data integrity (DI) principles. The process has transformed employees' understanding of ATR and complemented the DI by design approach, leading to better system designs that meet expected controls and reduce non-value-added data reviews.
Sara Greco, R&D Chemist at Valsynthese, part of the SSE Group, covers the beneficial properties of polyimide materials and the key role that aliphatic anhydrides play in the enhancement of those properties.
Biopharma focuses on streamlining biomanufacturing and supply chain issues to drive uptake of cell and gene therapies.
Screening for apparent total nitrosamine content with a thermal energy analyzer offers a rapid way of identifying contaminated drug products.
