GSK explores Oral Lipid Based Formulations & Taste Masking Approaches

SMi Group have announced that Ezequiel Monteagudo, Platform Expert at GlaxoSmithKline will be joining the speaker line-up for the 15th annual Controlled Release Delivery conference in London.

Speaking on Day 1 of the event, Ezequiel will be exploring developing new formulations with his opening address Oral Lipid Based Formulations, General Advantages, Challenges and Taste Masking Approaches. The key highlights will include:

• Advantages of Lipid Taste Oral Formulations for Poorly Soluble Compounds
• Taste Masking Challenges Derived from APIs and Formulations
• Latest Technologies Applied to Taste Masking Evaluation

This comes at a relevant time, with orally administrated drugs presenting a lucrative chunk of the pharmaceutical market. At the same time, the efficiency of taste-masking has played a key role in the success of final solid oral dosage forms.

Related presentations at the conference focusing on formulation development include
• Multi Phasic Oral Drug Delivery - In-Vivo Opportunities and Challenges
• Abuse Deterrent Formulation Technologies - Requirements, Development and Testing
• Solubility and Bioavailability Enhancement Strategies for Oral Dosage Forms

More details about the presentations as well as the full speaker line-up for the conference can be found on www.controlledreleasedelivery.com/pharmaphorum.

Now running for 15 years, Controlled Release Delivery 2018 aims to explore and to understand innovations in oral-lipid based and abuse deterrent formulations, nanoparticles and nanotechnologies, taste-masking and controlled release approaches, 3D printed dosage forms and functional film coats.

For those interested to attend, registration is now live on the event website and there are Early Bird discounts available.
