hot melt extrusion (HME) to its portfolio of formulation and

an 18mm Leistritz twin screw extruders. This investment enables Pii
to carry out feasibility studies, using just a few grams of active
pharmaceutical ingredient, to pilot scale cGMP productions for
Phase I and II clinical trials using HME.

poorly soluble compounds and controlled release drug delivery.

goal of providing our clients with a comprehensive package of
bioavailability enhancement capabilities,” said Steve King, senior
vice president of Pii. “This proven technology further enables us
to meet the challenges of poorly soluble compounds and advance our
client’s compounds through the development pipeline.”

solutions for bioavailability enhancement include spray drying,
solvent-based fluid bed processing, soft gels and liquid filled
hard capsules.
