2019 AAPS PharmSci 360
The Formulation and Quality Track Themes Announced for 2019 AAPS PharmSci 360!
AAPS PharmSci 360 combines all the energy and resources of a large scientific conference with the content depth of a small, focused gathering.
All of the PharmSci 360 scientific programming is themed, so jump into the track of your expertise and dive deep into your field’s hottest topics with your peers. Here are the themes for the formulation and quality track:
THEME 1
Formulation Development: New Challenges, Approaches, and Solutions
This theme will cover the latest scientific advances in formulation development and topic-related regulatory and development strategy considerations.
For chemical entities, topics may include: formulation technology improvements to overcome low bioavailability, poor solubility, stability, alternative routes of administration, and improved manufacturability of chemical entities.
For biomolecules, topics may include: formulation technology improvements for novel API modalities (e.g., nonstandard monoclonal antibody proteins, oligos, cell therapies, gene therapies, etc.), vaccines, high/low dose/concentration, in-use compatibility/drug product handling, high-throughput screening, in silico molecular property/stability prediction, personalized medicinal products, primary packaging of vials, etc.
THEME 2
Novel Analytical Methods for Characterization and Lifecycle Management
Analytical methods are needed to ensure product quality of drug substance and drug product at release, during stability, and during root cause investigations. This theme will cover topics including, but not limited to: new challenges for analytics (e.g., novel API modalities and formulations), new analytical methods/instrumentation, particulate characterization/quantification for parenteral products, analytical methods capable of controlling multiple attributes, potential critical quality attributes/critical quality attributes identification, and control strategies. It will also cover topic-related regulatory, development strategy, and analytical method lifecycle management considerations.
THEME 3
Advances in Drug Delivery and Device Technologies
This theme will cover devices and nontraditional formulations such as: overcoming biological barriers, particulate-based delivery systems, microneedle dermal patches, hydrogels, novel vaccines, long-acting delivery, implants, prefilled syringes, auto-injectors, patch pumps, inhalation devices, etc. It will also cover topic-related regulatory, development strategy, and technology scouting considerations.
