10.20.26 -- Spray Drying Advances Are Expanding Options For Poorly Soluble Molecules

Taking Spray-Dried Formulations From Feasibility To Commercial Scale

Turning a poorly soluble molecule into a viable oral product starts with the right formulation. Lonza experts walk through how they develop a spray-dried powder formulation and scale it from early feasibility to commercial manufacturing.

 

Recent Innovations And Enhancements To Pharmaceutical Spray Drying

What’s new in pharmaceutical spray drying? Lonza experts share recent process enhancements and new approaches for converting molecules poorly soluble in both aqueous and organic solvents into amorphous dispersions for better oral bioavailability.

 

Bringing Novel ADC Formats Into The Clinic: AOC Process Development

Oligonucleotide payloads aren’t small molecules, and standard ADC playbooks don’t fully apply. Their size, charge, and analytical challenges force changes to conjugation optimization, OAR quantification, chromatography selection, and TFF strategy.

 

Overcoming The Obstacles Of Spray-Dried Dispersion Scale-Up

Scaling spray-dried dispersions puts bioavailability, yield, and physical stability at risk. This white paper outlines a material-sparing, model-based approach to identify process sensitivities before late-stage development, with a case study on a challenging molecule.
