Development and Evaluation of Dissolving Microarray Patches for Co-administered and Repeated…
Purpose
Whilst significant progress has been made to defeat HIV infection, the efficacy of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in the paediatric population is often hindered by poor adherence. Currently, two long-acting (LA) intramuscular injectable nanosuspensions of rilpivirine (RPV) and cabotegravir…

Development of a multiparticulate drug delivery system for in situ amorphisation
In the current study, the concept of multiparticulate drug delivery systems (MDDS) was applied to tablets intended for the amorphisation of supersaturated granular ASDs in situ, i.e. amorphisation by microwave irradiation within the final dosage form. The MDDS concept was hypothesised to ensure…

In Vivo Evaluation of a Gastro-Resistant HPMC-Based “Next Generation Enteric” Capsule
Many orally dosed APIs are bioavailable only when formulated as an enteric dosage form to protect them from the harsh environment of the stomach. However, an enteric formulation is often accompanied with a higher development effort in the first place and the potential degradation of fragile APIs…

Formulation Strategies to Improve the Stability and Handling of Oral Solid Dosage Forms of Highly…
Highly hygroscopic pharmaceutical and nutraceutical solids are prone to significant changes in their physicochemical properties due to chemical degradation and/or solid-state transition, resulting in adverse effects on their therapeutic performances and shelf life. Moisture absorption also leads to…
