Risk Based Development to Support Process Qualification for Spray Dried Dispersions

This event is now available on demand!

Event Overview:

This webinar presents the commercial capabilities of the Lonza Small Molecules network and highlights a risk-based approach to support process qualification for amorphous solid dispersions made by spray drying. The speakers will discuss how process design and qualification fit into the process validation strategy, including how small-scale experiments can minimize drug substance usage and reduce risk to the process qualification stage. Elements of product design will be covered, including how taking a risk-based approach can help create robust processes with built-in manufacturing flexibility. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate in-process hold times at full scale. 

Key Learning Objectives:
  • Understand the commercial capabilities of Lonza Small Molecules.
  • Identify key attributes of SDD formulations and learn how they are made.
  • Learn how small-scale experiments can inform process qualification to reduce risk and material usage. 
Who Should Attend:
  • Pharmaceutical-industry directors
  • Principal Investigators/CMC Leads
  • Manufacturing and development engineers
  • Technical Operations
