Microdosing – Powder in Capsule Technology Pathway from Development to Commercialization

This event is now available on demand.

Event Overview:

Microdosing can accelerate the journey of a drug product from early development through to commercialization. This webcast will look at the principles of microdosing and how Lonza goes about filling drug substance directly into a capsule using equipment such as the Xcelodose 600 or 600S, as well as the Harro Höfliger Modu-C Mid Speed Encapsulator. The two systems provide the flexibility to manufacture powder-in-capsule dosages in multiple strengths with rapid and accurate filling parameters.

Key Learning Objectives:
  • Learn about powder-in-capsule development design and how the approach can be used to accelerate clinical trial supply.
  • Discover how the Harro Höfliger Modu-C can be used to scale up from clinical to commercial manufacturing.
  • Find out operational details and the benefits of the equipment.
Who Should Attend
  • Pharmaceutical Industry Directors
  • Principal Investigators/CMC Leads
