Developers of innovative drug products dealing with protein formulations, nucleotide-based drugs, peptides, and poorly soluble molecules, face significant challenges in achieving efficient and scalable manufacturing solutions. Spray drying has emerged as a powerful and versatile manufacturing technology. It offers significant advantages for stabilizing complex and sensitive drug molecules while optimizing production processes. Join our panel of experts as they explore how spray drying can be applied to enhance the stability, bioavailability, and manufacturability of various molecules, including peptides, oligonucleotides, small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, and nutraceuticals. This session will cover the latest innovations in spray drying technology, and provide valuable insights into formulation development, process parameters optimization, and large-scale production. Attendees will also learn how to maintain molecular integrity during the spray drying process and leverage in-silico tools to streamline commercialization.
Boehringer Ingelheim licenses six preclinical ADC and T-cell engager programs from Sino Biopharmaceutical in a deal worth up to $7 billion, Spyre Therapeutics drops anti-TL1A antibody SPY072 in rheumatic diseases after phase 2 misses and turns to hidradenitis suppurativa, and Biora Therapeutics gets ethics approval for a first-in-human trial of its BioJet oral adalimumab capsule.
As access to low Earth orbit expands, space-based research is opening possibilities in drug discovery, formulation, and manufacturing. In Part 1, the authors look at how microgravity changes biology and chemistry in ways that can’t be reproduced on Earth and where it fits from target discovery to life cycle management.
The half-life-extended antibody failed its primary endpoints in two Phase 2 SKYWAY sub-studies, so Spyre is dropping it in rheumatic diseases and moving it into a combination trial in hidradenitis suppurativa.
Boehringer Ingelheim will pay Sino Biopharmaceutical $358 million upfront and near-term for options on six biologic oncology programs, deepening a partnership that began in 2024.
A former CIA officer, Pacific Research Institute economists, and industry groups say Treasury's proposed COINS Act biotechnology restrictions are too broad, while the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology backs the move. Comments are due December 7, 2026.
