In this executive summary, experts will present the in vitro dissolution and an in vivo bioequivalence study comparing the performance of the identical formulation of three different drugs in Capsugel® Vcaps® Plus capsules to hard gelatin capsules. In addition, the circumstances under which the same API and formulation contained in HGC and Capsugel® Vcaps® Plus can be expected to provide equivalent performance will be discussed.

The challenges for new drugs looking to enter the market are numerous. But many are self-inflicted – especially in small molecule development. A dangerous perception persists that aside from highly potent APIs, small molecule medications have simple process requirements. The reality, however, is that most APIs will require numerous steps or significant work upfront to avoid development delays, rework or outright failure.

Detecting the presence and depth of penetration of drug compounds in skin can prove challenging, current technologies fail to achieve adequate penetration through layers of dermal tissue. In this study, Raman spectroscopy using the Renishaw Biological Analyser - RA816 confirmed the presence of a topical compound in the epidermis and reticular dermis with high specificity and sensitivity.

Spray drying continues to gain importance as a preferred manufacturing technology for amorphous solid dispersions (ASD). A fast carrier selection allows for a more targeted development process with reduced time to market. EUDRAGIT® polymers have not only been proven to be superior with respect to ASD formations but can also stabilize the amorphous state of the API over storage.
