Abstract
Currently, the lengthy time needed to bring new drugs to market or to implement postapproval changes causes multiple problems, such as delaying patients access to new lifesaving or life-enhancing medications and slowing the response to emergencies that require new treatments. However, new technologies are available that can help solve these problems. The January 2023 NIPTE pathfinding workshop on accelerating drug product development and approval included a session in which participants considered the current state of product formulation and process development, barriers to acceleration of the development timeline, and opportunities for overcoming these barriers using new technologies. The authors participated in this workshop, and in this article have shared their perspective of some of the ways forward, including advanced manufacturing techniques and adaptive development. In addition, there is a need for paradigm shifts in regulatory processes, increased pre-competitive collaboration, and a shared strategy among regulators, industry, and academia.
期刊介绍:
Pharmaceutical Research, an official journal of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, is committed to publishing novel research that is mechanism-based, hypothesis-driven and addresses significant issues in drug discovery, development and regulation. Current areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
-(pre)formulation engineering and processing-
computational biopharmaceutics-
drug delivery and targeting-
molecular biopharmaceutics and drug disposition (including cellular and molecular pharmacology)-
pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics.
Research may involve nonclinical and clinical studies, and utilize both in vitro and in vivo approaches. Studies on small drug molecules, pharmaceutical solid materials (including biomaterials, polymers and nanoparticles) biotechnology products (including genes, peptides, proteins and vaccines), and genetically engineered cells are welcome.
