This webcast focuses on manufacturing aspects of amorphous spray-dried dispersions to enable successful scale-up and optimization of the process. An overview of spray drying and typical scale-up challenges will be presented along with a robust process development strategy to ensure critical-to-quality attributes are maintained. Tools and methodologies that enable rapid scale-up that is right the first time from clinical to commercial scale will also be highlighted.

Event Overview:
Spray-drying is a preferred process for manufacturing amorphous solid dispersions, which provide oral bioavailability enhancement for low-solubility small molecules. High permeability, low-solubility BCS Class II compounds are prevalent, representing approximately 70% of the new chemical entity pipeline, driving continued research and optimization of dispersion technology.

This webinar focuses on manufacturing aspects of amorphous spray-dried dispersions (SDDs) to enable successful scale-up and optimization of the process. An overview of spray drying and typical scale-up challenges will be presented along with a robust process development strategy to ensure critical-to-quality attributes are maintained. Tools and methodologies that enable rapid scale-up that is right the first time from clinical to commercial scale will also be highlighted.  

In a scale-up case study of spray-dried Eudragit L100, a filament particle morphology was observed, leading to poor yields and very low bulk density. By controlling the formulation and process parameters, researchers identified a scale-independent process space where SDDs can be manufactured without filament formation at high product yields and with desired particle properties.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Process optimization of the manufacturing aspects of amorphous spray-dried dispersions

  • Tools and methodologies for scale-up from clinical to commercial phases

  • How to avoid string formation at high product yields and with desired particle properties
