This application note demonstrates that the Agilent 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS system can confidently quantify nitrosamine impurities at the low concentration levels specified by regulatory requirements. This method can be used to quantify these impurities in different ARB drug products, with some changes in chromatographic conditions based on the elution pattern of the drug product.

A growing proportion of drugs in the development pipeline nowadays start out life at small biotech companies, rather than big pharma businesses. While this means the biotechs are taking on more risk, they will also reap greater rewards in the event of success. When it comes to choosing your CDMO partner, there is no substitute for a careful selection process to determine the right CDMO to make and manage your precious potential drug. In this podcast, David Hall, Senior Director, Commercial Development at Lonza Small Molecules, provides insights on how small and emerging pharmaceutical and biotech companies can navigate the evolving pharma development pipeline.

A key hurdle for any drug development program is bringing the drug to clinical studies. Astute companies strategize past this milestone and plan for clinical and regulatory success. Lack of preparation for scale-up activities needed for eventual commercialization can often cause major time delays, increased costs, and a significant amount of rework. This eBook provides insights on key approaches and considerations for preparing your program for long-term success.

Thousands of drug candidates are abandoned annually due to solubility and bioavailability issues, but advanced formulation technologies can profoundly impact how a drug compound is processed in the body and improve the fate of many of these candidates, improving pharmacokinetic profiles and pharmacodynamic responses. Two Catalent experts discuss the ways companies can address issues with low bioavailability, and the benefits of enlisting an experienced drug development partner.

Timely progression of a drug candidate into clinical trials is critical for pharmaceutical companies seeking to bring new products to the market. Streamlining chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) development can help accelerate this process, as well as help yield better success as the drug product moves through the early phase of clinical studies.

Developers anxious to move their small molecule to Phase I may not have the time or resources to fully characterize the druggability of their candidate. Issues that could delay or even derail the program may appear in later clinical studies. Catalent has the resources to characterize lead molecules and develop the best pathway to bring them to Phase I studies and beyond.

In this report, we will highlight the trends shaping the orphan-drug market, with a particular focus on expedited drug development. Expert insights on navigating development and manufacturing challenges with orphan drugs will be included, with insights on how drug sponsors of all sizes work with contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) to achieve their goals.
