About This Workshop
Nanomedicines are drug products that are formulated using colloidal systems, generally known as liposomes, nanospheres, microspheres, etc. This workshop is a forum for the discussion of the new challenges presented by this type of products including nomenclature, regulatory requirements, analytical techniques, and procedures for the characterization and control of the critical quality attributes of these colloidal systems.
Why Attend?
- Better understand the nomenclature of this type of drug products.
- Gain insight on the regulatory requirements for formulations containing colloidal systems.
- Discuss possible critical quality attributes for nanomedicines and the analytical techniques to monitor and control them.
Areas of Discussion
- Nomenclature, Definitions, Regulatory Expectations (FDA, EMA, ASTM, ISO)
- Drug Release
- Analytical techniques for the characterization of colloidal systems
- Challenges in the formulation, manufacturing, and stability of drug products containing colloidal systems
