Vcaps® Plus Capsules - a new high performance HPMC capsule for optimum formulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms

May 27, 2014 2014-05-27 15:00:00 2014-05-27 16:00:00 America/New_York Vcaps® Plus Capsules - a new high performance HPMC capsule for optimum formulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms 15:00 - 16:00 CET

15:00 - 16:00 CET

Market Segment: Pharmaceutical

A new second generation HPMC capsule has been developed to speed formulation and commercialization timelines in pharmaceutical drug development. Vcaps® Plus capsules developed without gelling agents provide HPMC capsules with improved physical and operational performance to match the needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

This presentation will review the studies that demonstrate superior performance over traditional HPMC capsules and demonstrate how these capsules, now in use at many major pharmaceutical companies, can optimize product performance and improve product stability as well as reduce development timelines.

Speakers:

• Frédérique Bordes-Picard - M. Sci., MBA, Pharmaceutical Business Development Manager, EMEA - Capsugel
• Julien Lamps - Quality Assurance Engineer - Capsugel

When: Tuesday, May 27 at 15:00 - 16:00 CET.

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST (18:00-19:00 CET)

Market Segment: Pharmaceutical

The next chapter of the Capsule Filling 101 webinar has been developed to further expand on the insights to improve productivity and performance in pharmaceuticals. As challenging new formulations are developed, how prepared is your team to optimize their performance in encapsulation? As more formulations take advantage of capsule flexibility, join us to benefit from these valuable insights:

• Formulation Considerations for Capsule Filling Optimization - using the tenets of Quality by Design. Capsule selection and the role of excipients appropriate to filling technology.
• SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) - achieving a repeatable setup is key to success. Managing consistency in tooling and setup over time.
• Quantifying Success in Capsule Filling Efficiency. What are the true costs and levers of cost in your encapsulation suite? New case studies for review.

Panelists:
John Davidson - Senior Manager of Quality Engineering Services, Capsugel
Tim Sopko - Senior Technical Service Engineer, Capsugel

Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Optimize and Redefine Bioreactor Operations

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET (17:00 - 18:00 CET)

Market Segment: Pharmaceutical

Join us for our upcoming live webinar devoted to BioSolutions.

What: Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Optimize and Redefine Bioreactor Operations: Leveraging Coupled Bioreactor Analytics, Automated Sampling, and Applied Mathematics to Improve Productivity & Product Quality

The focus of the presentation will be on introducing an emerging process-development methodology that is based on applying novel and existing bioreactor monitoring technologies to existing bioreactor processes, coupled with applied mathematics and data-integration techniques across disciplines. This methodology offers an improved way to turn large raw data sets into useful guidance for process development and guidance. This methodology enables better use of existing data, as well as strategies to generate more frequent and higher-quality data sets to meet the dynamic nutrient requirements of cell cultures. This approach employs the use of dielectric spectroscopy (DS), other enhanced process-analytical technologies (PATs), and cell-based bioreactor models with a simple, compact device that automatically obtains samples aseptically at specified intervals for off-line analysis.

Examples will be shown, including a case study of a user interface linking on-line data with applied-mathematics techniques to increase process understanding at the cellular level under different growth conditions as well as a case study of statistical modeling techniques being used to predict and forecast cell culture productivity in a bioreactor.

When: Wednesday, April 16 at 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET.

Bioavailability Enhancement Webinar Series - Formulation & Processing of Amorphous Solid Dispersions for Poorly Soluble Drugs by Hot-Melt Extrusion

March 12, 2014 2014-03-12 16:00:00 2014-03-12 17:00:00 America/New_York Bioavailability Enhancement Webinar Series - Formulation & Processing of Amorphous Solid Dispersions for Poorly Soluble Drugs by Hot-Melt Extrusion 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET (16:00 - 17:00 CET)

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET (16:00 - 17:00 CET)

Market Segment: Pharmaceutical

Join us for our upcoming live webinar devoted to hot-melt extrusion.

What: Bioavailability Enhancement Webinar Series: Formulation and Processing of Amorphous Solid Dispersions for Poorly Soluble Drugs by Hot-Melt Extrusion

A large majority of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) currently in development have limited bioavailability due to low solubility and dissolution rates (BCS IIa and IIb). The integrated Capsugel Dosage Form Solutions and Bend Research development team have a full range of established technologies and rigorous selection criteria to address this problem on a per API basis.

In this webinar, hot-melt extrusion (HME) of amorphous solid dispersions is one approach used to address APIs with limited bioavailability due to low solubility and dissolution rates (BCS IIa / IIb). By using an integrated process and formulation approach that balances the target absorption profile, manufacturability, physical and chemical stability, and API availability Capsugel DFS / Bend Research scientists are able to rapidly develop a progress-able drug intermediate and dosage form for preclinical and clinical manufacture. The bio-enhancement technology selection process will be reviewed along with HME process optimization and representative case studies.

When: Wednesday, March 12 at 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET.
