A Novel Architecture for Achieving High Drug Loading in Amorphous Spray-Dried Dispersion Tablets

Although amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) effectively increase bioavailability, tablet mass can be high due to the large fraction of excipients needed. This publication describes work to reduce the mass of an ASD tablet made from rapidly crystallizing drug with a low glass-transition temperature (Tg). A high-loaded dosage form (HLDF), made by strategically combining two polymers within the tablet, was used to reduce tablet mass by 40%. The resulting formulation had similar physical stability and in vitro performance as the benchmark formulation and exhibited excellent downstream manufacturability.
