Triangle Park, NC – May 14, 2009 – Two Catalent scientists,
Dr. Tom Feinberg, director of structural chemistry services, and
Dr. Craig Davies-Cutting, director of research and development,
will host a 45-minute interactive workshop at RDD Europe 2009.
The conference is designed for academic, industrial and regulatory
scientists involved in the development, investigation, preparation
and delivery of existing and new therapeutic entities by inhalation.
It takes place in Lisbon, Portugal, May 19-22, 2009.
The
Catalent sponsored workshop is titled “Formulation and Leachables
Considerations in Component Selection for Inhalation Drug Products.”
Workshop abstract: Although the range of inhalation delivery devices
and components has increased, the rate of new product approvals
has not. One explanation is the need to thoroughly explore hardware
and formulation compatibility and performance during product development.
Additionally, global regulatory expectations have been raised
since the publication and dissemination of the Product Quality
Research Institute’s Safety Thresholds and Best Practices
for Extractables and Leachables in Orally Inhaled and Nasal Drug
Products. This workshop outlines an optimized approach for formulation-device
combination screening and selection, and discusses the impact
of leachables and materials characterization methods selection
on the testing timeline.
Dr.
Feinberg and Dr. Davies-Cutting are members of Catalent’s
Respiratory, Analytical and Biotechnology group, based in North
Carolina’s Research Triangle Park.
