Course Description

This one-day course taught by Steve Byrn, George Zografi, and Xiaoming (Sean) Chen focuses on:

• The "big questions" that must be answered in order to accelerate proof of concept
• The importance of solid state chemistry in accelerating proof of concept
• The idea that quality by design elements can be incorporated into a fast development program
• Formulation development for proof of concept studies in an accelerated regime

The course will discuss use of polymorphs, amorphous forms, liquid crystals, nanoparticles, and cocrystals to improve solubility under an accelerated development regime. It covers the requirements for proof of concept studies especially from the CMC point of view. The course also discusses: (1) solubility and apparent solubility; (2) stability; (3) quality by design; (4) risk reduction and (5) intellectual property. Open discussion is welcome.
