FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT (non-GMP)
IntelGenx provides early stage services for pre-GMP projects including formulation prototype, first prototype and production of pilot GCP batch of first prototype.
Formulation Development
IntelGenx will perform the following formulation development activities to develop a first prototype formulation:
|
FILM DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FORMULATION; |
TASTE MASKING; | PERMEABILITY TESTING; |
SOLUBILITY STUDY; |
| IN VITRO IRRITATION STUDY; |
LAB-SCALE PROCESS DEVELOPMENT; |
PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION (E,G, ELONGATION, FOLDING, ADHESION); |
EXPERIMENTAL STABILITY STUDY AT 50°C. |
Pilot Batch Manufacturing
IntelGenx will perform the following activities to produce a GCP pilot batch of the first prototype formulation:
- Documentation generation, including specifications, batch records and protocols;
- Batch manufacturing of up to five hundred (500) film drug product units as per Good Clinical Practices for phase I clinical studies – C.05.010(j) (the “GCP”);
- Raw materials testing (See Section 4.2.2);
- Testing and release of film drug product (See Section 4.2.3); and
- Stability study (See Section 4.2.4, Table 2).
Clinical Monitoring
IntelGenx sponsors and monitors pilot clinical phase 1 studies to assess whether developped prototype formulations meet pharmacokinetic requirements for a pivotal clinical study. Along with conducting the pilot study, IntelGenx selects and monitors contract research organizations (CROs), drafts clinical study approval documentation including CTA and IND applications, provides on-site clinical monitoring, and makes clinical recommendations for advancing the development program.
