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
