Nasal drug delivery has been around since the 1950s when it was used for over-the-counter (OTC) decongestants. In the current pharmaceutical industry, it is used across biologics, small, and large molecule applications, and even has potential for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s because it can pass the blood-brain barrier and first-pass metabolism.

Pharmaceutical micronization plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficacy and bioavailability of many active pharmaceutical ingredients and the need for robust, repeatable and precise particle size control is critical. This article provides an in-depth review of milling equipment, including jet, pin, hammer, conical and cryogenic mills. Each technique is influenced by material properties like hardness/brittleness, morphology, and moisture content, as well as milling parameters such as feed rate, grinding pressure, mill speed and temperature. By selecting the right milling equipment and optimizing its operation, pharmaceutical innovators can ensure that their products meet the highest standards of quality, efficacy, and safety.

Developers of innovative drug products dealing with protein formulations, nucleotide-based drugs, peptides, and poorly soluble molecules, face significant challenges in achieving efficient and scalable manufacturing solutions. Spray drying has emerged as a powerful and versatile manufacturing technology. It offers significant advantages for stabilizing complex and sensitive drug molecules while optimizing production processes. Join our panel of experts as they explore how spray drying can be applied to enhance the stability, bioavailability, and manufacturability of various molecules, including peptides, oligonucleotides, small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, and nutraceuticals. This session will cover the latest innovations in spray drying technology, and provide valuable insights into formulation development, process parameters optimization, and large-scale production. Attendees will also learn how to maintain molecular integrity during the spray drying process and leverage in-silico tools to streamline commercialization.

Discover how pharmacy-led models in direct-to-patient clinical supply are pivotal in modernizing clinical trials, offering scalable, patient-centric solutions that align with regulatory guidance and industry trends. Strategic collaboration with pharmacy providers is the key to unlocking the full potential and benefits of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs).

Global decentralized trials require fast, efficient, and sustainable clinical supply solutions. This case study shows how a biopharma company worked with Catalent’s FastChain® demand-led model to improve supply by reducing waste and shipments by 40%, speeding patient dosing to under three weeks, and enabling flexible, decentralized packaging and distribution, whilst supporting an eco-friendly trial management worldwide.

Choosing the best location for packaging and distributing clinical supplies depends on various study factors and business needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but by evaluating key considerations, sponsors can determine whether the EU or non-EU countries like the UK best fit their clinical supply strategy.

China is a key player in global clinical trials, yet its intricate regulatory environment and logistical challenges demand meticulous supply chain management. Catalent provides tailored services such as Free Trade Zones, temperature-controlled shipping, and local comparator sourcing to support sponsors in executing trials effectively and in compliance with regulations.

The landscape of cell and gene therapy is rapidly evolving, with increasing approvals for diverse indications. Preserving the integrity and efficacy of cell and gene therapy products is critical. Vial adapters facilitate the transfer of drug product from a vial by securing an efficient connection between the vial and the administration device.
