OptiDose® Design Solution

DRUG DEVELOPMENT & FORMULATION IS SCIENCE.
DOSE DESIGN TO CREATE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENTS IS ART.

Achieving development milestones is critical to progressing your molecule to the clinic, but this doesn’t always translate to successful medicines or better outcomes for patients and stakeholders.

Put our experience to work for you.

Catalent has helped innovators launch thousands of products for over 80 years, so we know what it takes for a therapy to succeed in an increasingly competitive market. We help your molecule progress from oral drug candidate to clinic quickly and efficiently with OptiForm® Solution Suite, solving it’s most complex bioavailability, solubility, and permeability challenges – but we don’t stop there.

We help seamlessly guide your drug through its path to success with OptiDose® Design Solution to help deliver a comprehensive assessment of your molecule, patient, and market.

A DATA-DRIVEN COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

To determine the optimal dose form, Catalent’s team of scientific advisors collaborate with you to review your program background and utilize a set of structured tools to perform a comprehensive evaluation.

By assessing the physicochemical properties of the molecule, ADME/PK/PD characteristics, patient considerations, manufacturability, stability, and market considerations, our team of advisors provide recommendations for a dose form strategy that can help differentiate your product, improve patient acceptance, and turn your science into commercially successful medicine.

Physiochemical – Captures information on material properties of a drug and technology/dose form compatibility

Pharmacokinetics – Captures key pharmacokinetic properties of a drug that deliver efficacy

Patient Considerations – A vision for a product that will meet the needs of the patient

Dose Form Selection & Manufacturability – Recommendations that considers dose form evolution, product differentiation, and speed to market. Plus, a stable drug product and manufacturing process that is efficient and scalable
