About the Event

This workshop brings together scientists from regulatory agencies and industry to discuss the role of dissolution testing in identifying and controlling critical bioavailability attributes (CBAs) of solid oral dosage forms. This workshop will cover various approaches used by the innovator and generic industry to justify selection of in vitro dissolution methods for assessing product quality at release and mitigating biopharmaceutics risks in response to changes in CBAs. Participants will present case studies and discuss approaches to identify best practices for developing rational in vitro dissolution methods that can provide predictive insights into in vivo performance. These practices may be implemented to establish clinically relevant quality standards and will help ensure high-quality drug products that maintain safety and efficacy throughout their lifecycle.

Workshop Topics

Day 1: Dissolution Method Development, Control of CBAs, and In Vitro Drug Release Product Specifications for Immediate Release Solid Oral Dosage Products

Day 2: Dissolution Method Development, Control of CBAs, and In Vitro Drug Release Product Specifications for Extended Release Solid Oral Dosage Products
