Lipid-based formulations (LBFs) are complex mixtures of lipid, surfactant and solvent excipient, where
the composition determines the potential impact of dispersion and digestion on drug solubilization. By carefully
selecting fill formulations during the early stages of drug development, it is possible to meet the specific
requirements for bioavailability and stability for clinical trial and supply.
Ron Scarboro, Azurity Pharmaceuticals, explains why real-world usability belongs at product definition and how post-launch feedback should guide drug formulation.
Gene manufacturing platforms, patient-centric formulations, contract services, packaging innovations, and sterile filling lines are in the spotlight at CPHI Milan 2026.
Michael Levy, senior vice president, Digital & Innovation, USP, explains the digital supply chain in a preview of his upcoming CPHI Milan panel presentation, The Next Phase of Pharma Supply Chains.
