Webinars

Specifications for Small Molecule Drug Products Webinar

Led by Dr Mark Powell, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) with over 25 years’ experience as a senior analytical chemist. In 2013, Mark set up Mark Powell Scientific, a company that offers training and consultancy services in analytical chemistry.

The webinar will cover:

  • Regulatory guidance (ICH, FDA, EMA)
  • Tests appropriate to different dosage forms
  • Dissolution specifications for immediate-release, modified-release and extended-release drug products
  • Dissolution specifications in the context of the biopharmaceutical classification system
  • Control of polymorphism, enantiomeric purity, drug-related impurities and microbiological contamination
  • Specifications for combination drug products
  • The role of specifications in maximizing drug product stability

 


IVIVC – A Way to Speed up Development Using Dissolution as a Surrogate Tool.

Led by Jean-Michel Cardot, course leader for Practical Solutions for Establishing IVIVC and Bioavailability and Bioequivalence.
In 30 minutes, this webinar explores hot to optimise IVIVC using your dissolution data.

Topics covered:

  • Basis of IVIVC
  • Why IVIVC and dissolution are important
  • Use in development: interest and limitations
  • Optimisation of formulation based on IVIVC
  • Conclusions and Q&A session
