Long acting injectables offer a powerful approach to improve patient care and reduce global healthcare costs through reduced dose frequency and better medication adherence. However, LAI product design requires a deep understanding of chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) aspects, including material properties, formulation, processing, and device characteristics. This session will review various formulation strategies that have been successfully applied to commercial LAI products and selection of an appropriate formulation technology guided by drug properties and the desired product profile.
Attendees will gain insights into the value proposition for LAIs in the pharmaceutical industry, different types of LAI dosage forms, and the technical challenges impacting formulation development and manufacture.
