Medication non-compliance by patients has a significant impact on the burden of healthcare costs. The common challenges causing patient non-compliance are due to a combination of influences, including specific disease type, age, and therapy regimen. Often, the regimen may include dosage forms that are not sufficiently tailored to meet patient needs. As a result of poor medication adherence, overall treatment success lessens. To mitigate the risk of patient non-compliance, innovators should consider specific patient challenges for different disease types and the many variables in the lives of patients. In this webinar, experts provide an overview of the needs of different patient populations, and examine the common challenges leading to non-compliance. The experts also discuss how an orally dissolving tablet (ODT) provides a solution to address patient challenges and enables potentially more successful treatments.

Is My Molecule Suitable for an Orally Disintegrating Tablet 

Catalent’s OptiDose Design Solution integrates pharmaceutics, critical CMC and DMPK parameters, and dose form design target patient characteristics to create differentiated treatments that are successful for innovators, patients and healthcare professionals.

The methodology uses a design approach that combines data-driven scientific tools with Catalent’s extensive development expertise. Patient needs and market realities are considered upfront in the process, to guide development decisions and ensure a product with the optimal combination of patient acceptance and adherence, as well as differentiation from existing standards of care.

By taking an agnostic evaluation of a molecule against potential dose form technologies, products can be designed using Catalent’s portfolio of advanced softgel solutions, including OptiShell capsules that can improve bioavailability for poorly water-soluble and poorly permeable compounds, and offer modified or extended release profiles.

Catalent’s industry-leading broad technology toolkit also includes Zydis orally dissolving tablets, and FlexDoseSM stick pack solutions to optimise a molecule’s potential.
