Formulation Trends for Topical Dosage Forms Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Sponsored by Norman Richardson, Global Technical Development and Marketing Manager, Skin Delivery, BASF Pharma Solutions Amy Ethier, PhD, Formulation Scientist, Skin Delivery, BASF Pharma Solutions In topical drug formulations the selection of excipients, the amount of each excipient and the complexes and phases that they form in the formulation are collectively responsible for all of the performance attributes of the final product. By their physicochemical nature different classes of topical excipients (e.g. high melting point lipidic materials, oils, hydrophilic fluids, linear and globular polymers, nonionic and anionic and cationic emulsifiers, etc.) perform different functions in the topical dosage form. Excipients contribute to or influence viscosity, spreadability, aesthetic properties, API solubilization and/or solid state, as well as the physical and chemical stability of the formulation, dermal drug permeation and many other attributes. Formulators seek to leverage excipient functionalities to develop products with specific performance attributes that (1) allow for aesthetically acceptable application to the treatment area, (2) deliver the active to the appropriate location (e.g. surface of the skin, epidermis, dermis, systemic, etc.), (3) enable the active to permeate the stratum corneum barrier, when necessary, (4) prevent irritation and maintain mildness throughout the use of the product and (5) maintain chemical and physical stability of the product throughout its shelf life. To achieve these objectives a variety of dosage forms are available to the topical drug formulator (e.g. emulsions, gels, ointments, foams, solid sticks and balms, sprays, patches, etc.). How excipients are chosen to achieve various dosage forms will be discussed. A hands-on, interactive session will explore the different dosage forms that are available in the market place. Some examples from the BASF Global Skin Delivery Lab will also be available for evaluation. Learn how and why to select a specific dosage form including: I. What are the design criteria for your topical formulation • Ease of application • Good sensory properties • Drug delivery options • Retain on surface of skin • Deposit into epidermis, scalp, nail or mucosal membrane Drug Development Track • Penetrate skin for systemic delivery • Controlled release • Mildness, impurities and support of healing of compromised skin • API solubility, stability and compatibility and dosage strength II.What dosage forms are available and which one should you use? • Emulsions (biphasic creams and lotions) • Gels (single phase aqueous semi-solid) • Foams (aerosol and non-aerosol, aqueous and anhydrous) between capitalism, good economics, corporate interests, and altruism? Do these paradigms apply to both established and emerging markets? What are the legal frameworks surrounding these decisions? What are the ethical debates underpinning these decisions? What are the legal ramifications of approaching it incorrectly? I. Drug pricing: • How is it set? • Is it set accurately? • Is it set appropriately? • What do those even mean?

Enthalpyentropy compensation makes protein structure to be marginally stable and it is stabilized by higher enthalpic contribution to the free energy of unfolding. A major physical degradation pathway of a therapeutic protein during its life cycle is aggregation which strongly depends on both conformational (thermodynamic) and colloidal stabilities. Higher free energy of unfolding corresponds to higher conformational stability and higher colloidal stability of a protein solution corresponds to higher protein-protein repulsive electrostatic interactions compared to attractive interactions (Derjaguin-Landau-VerweyOverbeek theory). The primary objective of a robust formulation development is to reduce the rate of change of both physical and chemical degradation of a protein by optimizing conformational and colloidal stabilities. Uncluttered experimental strategy using both biophysical and analytical methods and correct understanding of complex data are critical for optimal formulation development and characterization of proteins. In addition, dosage form selection, container closure integrity, and in-use stability are critical for the overall drug product development. This presentation will address the following: • Stability challenges in protein therapeutics • Rational formulation development strategy • Selection of biophysical and analytical methods • Utility of these multidimensional approaches and the connectivity of these data in terms of thermodynamic/ conformational stability and kinetic stability of protein. • Characterization of Higher Order Structure (HOS) and its effect on protein stability • Dosage form selection • Container closure selection and drug wastage • Temperature excursion • In-use stability Understanding Critical Excipient Properties to Ensure Consistent Quality of Amorphous Solid Dispersion and Extended-Release Products Wednesday, May 17, 2017, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Yihong Qiu, Oral Drug Products, Manufacturing Science & Technology, AbbVie, Inc. Assessing variation of critical excipients properties is an essential element in: I. Developing a product of consistent quality, II.Establishing appropriate specifications to assure quality and, III.Building robustness into manufacturing process, especially for dosage forms based on more sophisticated drug delivery technologies, such as extended-release and amorphous solid dispersion systems. This presentation intends to examine the crucial role excipients and their “natural” variability may play in affecting product quality and highlight the importance of understanding variability of key functional excipients and continuous learning & improvement through application of the new knowledge to ensure consistent product quality and performance and minimize patient risks in commercial manufacturing. An overview of the basic principles and key functional excipients of extended-release and amorphous solid dispersion systems will be provided. Case studies will be shared to demonstrate: • How critical material properties and variation within and outside of compendial and/or supplier’s specifications can influence product quality and performance, such as in vitro dissolution, stability and in vivo absorption, during manufacture of marketed products; and, • Continuous monitoring, accumulating knowledge of raw materials, product and process are imperative in maintaining production consistency. It is also shown that the susceptibility of a particular quality attribute to variation of excipient properties and extent of the impact often depend on the API, product design and operating principles, manufacturing process and test method. Therefore, it is important to apply systematic approach in evaluating material properties on product quality and performance via an integrated evaluation of drug substance, formulation, process, test method and their interactions. Drug Development Track Pediatric Formulation Development Innovation Wednesday, May 17, 2017, 4:00 PM – 5:30PM Implement Novel Container/Closure Technologies Thursday, May 18, 2017, 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM Satish K Singh, Drug Product Services. Lonza Pharma and Biotech, Lonza Ltd Delivery systems are being increasingly used for parenteral products as a way to add value in terms of convenience, patient compliance as well as product differentiation. These systems, oftentimes encompassing the primary container/ closure system, must be considered an integral part of parenteral products and not an afterthought. The choice of the system and the assessment of its suitability, functionality and manufacturability are key aspects of the development process. A range of technologies are available for selection, depending on the user requirements. This session will cover container/closure requirements in general, address the requirements for qualification of such systems including compatibility, integrity testing (in the context of the new USP requirements) and manufacturability. The session will cover the major systems with a focus on pre-filled syringes which are by far the most common system being used after vials.

Process Development and Quality by Design Case Study Wednesday, May 18, 2017, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM Drug Manufacturing: Quality Risk Assessment Management and Supply Chain Sourcing Strategies for APIs and Excipients Wednesday, May 17, 2017, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Powered by Stephen Andruski – Verification Manager, USP Pharmaceutical companies are required by FDA to control the supply chain for all of the ingredients used in their products. Often, this translates into pharmaceutical companies conducting numerous and redundant GMP audits of their suppliers. Recently, several third-party GMP certification programs have introduced business models designed to help reduce the number and frequency of these audits. New proposals and guidelines suggest a dedicated risk assessment strategy can further help to improve efficiencies in resources and activities. This is an approach currently employed by FDA to determine the audit frequency and urgency in many regulated industries. This presentation will provide an overview of the advantages of different Certification business models, including the USP Verification program and how inclusion of Quality risk assessment management strategies can be used to help focus resources to the most critical ingredients in the supply chain. Continuous Solid Dose Manufacturing – Analytics to Support the Supply Chain Wednesday, May 17, 2017, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Stephen V. Hammond, Senior Director/ Team Leader of the Process Analytical Sciences Group, Pfizer Global Technology To be an effective contributor to a transformed “low inventory - pull” medical products supply chain, manufacturing of pharmaceuticals must also transform. The large scale batch processing, in centralized facilities does not serve the new supply chain well. The need for flexibility and localization of manufacturing in Emerging Markets is becoming a primary objective for the development of new processing technologies in the pharmaceutical industry. This paper will describe some of the efforts that Pfizer and the industry in general, are putting into the concepts of continuous manufacturing, married together with integrated analytics and Advanced Control Systems. The combined technologies allow for rapid response to demand, through flexible low inventory supply streams that occupy a small footprint, and can be rapidly deployed to markets anywhere in the world. Interfacing PAT’s into a continuous manufacturing system requires consideration of patient safety, compliance to existing standards but also supply flexibility and reliability. This paper will describe the on-going efforts to develop analytics and controls to respond to these considerations. Emphasis will be placed on the need for a measurement and control system that is based on the business need, as well as satisfying the need for patient safety and compliance.

Herbicide and GM Herbicide Trait Treadmills are Too Slow Wednesday May 17, 2017, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM Jerry Green, President, Green Ways Consulting Glyphosate and glyphosate-tolerant crops had a revolutionary impact on weed management and new combinations of herbicides and traits will help continue their utility. However, the epidemic of herbicide-resistant weeds is rapidly decreasing their value and threatening high production agriculture. The chemical company solution is to combine glyphosate with other herbicides, while the seed company solution is to combine glyphosate resistance with other traits to enable more herbicide options. Unfortunately, no new commercial mode-of-action for over 30 years and current herbicide types all have problems with For the most up-to-date program, go to schedule. cphinorthamerica.com or schedule.informex.com. weed resistance. New traits for glufosinate, auxin, HPPDinhibiting and PPO-inhibiting herbicide traits will help when combined with glyphosate resistance, but are temporary solutions. The process to develop new herbicides and their associated traits is too slow and expensive to support what critics call the chemical and transgenic treadmills. The lack of new herbicide types and the epidemic of multiple herbicideresistant weeds is forcing growers to spend more money to manage weeds, creating a best of times, worst of times predicament for the crop protection industry. New research efforts have already produced some results, but much more technology wanted!

Nanotechnology Thursday, May 18, 2017, 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM Regulatory Spotlight Track Manufacturing Plant Operations to Efficiently Meet Food and Drug Regulatory Requirements for Multiple Markets Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Powered by Chemical manufacturers are faced with operating their plants in a quality environment driven by a multitude of governmental regulations, voluntary industry programs and customer requirements. Because they serve a variety of market segments, it often seems each segment has different, and in some cases incompatible and/or redundant, requirements that drive up complexity and cost. Some manufacturers choose to abandon niche markets, forgoing high margin markets for what are perceived to be less complex quality regulatory requirements. Some choose to operate at a very high level of quality such as Pharmaceutical GMP regulatory requirements, believing such a level will inherently meet all requirements. Others choose to operate in smaller, batch style production, applying specific GMPs regulatory requirements on a batch by batch basis. This session seeks to provide a unified view of how to meet regulatory requirements across multiple end user markets, hopefully minimizing complexity and cost. Topics will include: • Legal requirements to operate a plant that simultaneously serves the Industrial, Food, Dietary Supplements and Pharmaceutical markets • How a commodity plant can operate to satisfy multiple markets • Advantages and challenges to meeting multiple markets using a batch style production plan Chemical Regulation in the US - Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”) Reform – Current Interpretations and the Impact on Business Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Brendan K.

Making the Business Case for Occupational Health & Safety Catalyzing Innovation in the Chemicals Industry by Maximizing R&D Tax Credits Wednesday May 17, 2017, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Wednesday May 17, 2017, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Lawrence Sloan, CAE Chief Executive Officer, AIHA Steven Lacey, PhD, CIH, CSP President, AIHA, Associate Professor and Chair Dept. of Environmental Health Science, Indiana University Fairbanks School of Public Health The purpose of this presentation is to draw awareness about compelling business case that can and should be made for ensuring a company is committed to a structured comprehensive worker health and safety program, recognized from the C-suite down. A brief introduction to AIHA and our affiliate group, Product Stewardship Society, will be followed by a review of two main strategic areas: 1.Center for Safety & Health Sustainability -- Launched in 2011, CSHS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to advancing the safety, health and sustainability of the global workplace. Unfortunately, when an organization considers the “social” aspect of its own sustainability picture, occupational safety and health receives very little attention, if any at all. Yet more than 2 million people die from occupational accidents or work-related diseases each year. Attendees will learn about the Center’s initiatives and hear results from an insightful new Harvard University study on Human Capital, worker health and safety, and its impact on a company’s capital valuation.
