Transitioning an Oral Solid Dosage from Phase 1 to Phase 2 studies: Formulation challenges and strategies

Development timelines, formulation optimisation strategies and CDMO selection for transitioning oral solid dosage forms from Phase 1 to Phase 2.
February 26th 2025
3pm (GMT) / 10am (ET)
OVERVIEW

Successfully transitioning oral solid dosage (OSD) forms from Phase 1 to Phase 2 clinical studies requires a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and strategies involved.

This webinar offers comprehensive insights into overcoming formulation hurdles and effectively preparing for the transition to Phase 2 clinical studies. Designed to address the critical challenges associated with oral solid dosage (OSD) development, it provides a thorough understanding of the strategies needed to advance drug products successfully through the clinical pipeline.

 

Dr. Ian Lafferty will explore practical approaches and proven techniques for refining formulations, managing Phase 1 outcomes, and optimizing development timelines. Real-world examples bring clarity to these complex processes, enabling you to navigate common obstacles with confidence.

 

Whether you’re refining an OSD formulation or preparing for regulatory milestones, this webinar highlights the key factors influencing clinical success. Gain actionable solutions to streamline your development process, minimize risks, and ensure your drug product is poised for progression into the next clinical phase.

Addressed Challenges

01Navigating pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic outcomes from a Phase 1 clinical study and determining the right development response to the data. 
02Addressing formulation challenges that arise from Phase 1 sub-optimal data without compromising clinical timelines or development programme integrity. 
03Executing the steps required to transition from a phase-appropriate simple formulation to a conventional oral solid dosage form for Phase 2. 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

01Understand the development timelines and strategic considerations for transitioning an OSD programme into a Phase 2 clinical study successfully. 
02Learn proven formulation optimisation strategies for oral solid dosage forms that support progression through the clinical development pipeline. 
03Understand what to look for when engaging a CDMO for Phase 1 to Phase 2 OSD transition, including capability, experience, and technical fit.
