SP Scientific has announced a Lyolearn webinar that will discuss the essential elements of Quality by Design (QbD) in the formulation and process development of freeze-dried parenterals.
The webinar will take place on 15 September 2010 and will be chaired by Lisa Hardwick of Baxter Healthcare and Dr Stephen Nail from Baxter Pharmaceutical Solutions.
The webinar will present a case study to illustrate one approach that includes the essential elements of QbD.
The case study will identify a target product profile and its quality attributes, discuss a formalised risk assessment process, review utilisation or prior knowledge to design a meaningful experimental approach, and show how to determine both a formulation design space and a process design space, where the process design space incorporates limitations on the process imposed both by the characteristics of the product and the capability of freeze-drying equipment.
SP Scientific's programme of free educational webinars devoted to freeze-drying topics follow a 30-minute format for the presentations with a QandA session immediately afterwards.
