Mucoadhesive Polymers in Pharmaceutical Formulations
This technical brief will cover the use of polymers in a variety of dosage forms (buccal/sublingual tablets, liquid, semi-solid formulations, and oral care products) to impart mucoadhesion. The basic mechanism of mucoadhesion and methods to evaluate it in the context of pharmaceutical applications will also be reviewed, also how it can improve and differentiate drug products.
The Role of On-Demand Manufacturing and Derisking in Accelerating Early Clinical Trial Success
June 4th 2025Small pharmaceutical companies are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline early clinical trials. Adaptive clinical trials offer important benefits to sponsors and patients, both from a commercial and ethical standpoint. These trials offer flexibility and efficiency, especially in the early stages, where trial protocols can be adjusted based on interim data, such as introducing new doses or modifying participant sample size. However, adjusting manufacturing demand during an adaptive trial can be complicated, and strict regulatory requirements present significant challenges. On-demand manufacturing provides a robust solution, allowing for real-time supply and demand adjustments and improved trial flexibility. This paper explores how on-demand manufacturing meets the operational needs of adaptive trials and aligns with regulatory expectations.
