Services are delivered with expertise and high quality to ensure reliable results
Pharmaceutical Product Development
In addition to identification of a suitable drug molecule during the discovery phase of drug development, the success of a new chemical entity (NCE) depends on formulating the drug into a dosage form that reaches the patient.
We provide advice on the following services in the product development area:
-
Assessment and recommendation for preformulation activities: physicochemical properties, pka and salt screening, solid state studies, drug-excipient compatibility, and stability studies
-
Quality by design (QbD) during the formulation stage: development of target product profile (TPP), identification of critical material attributes (CMA), critical quality attributes (CQA) and critical process parameters (CPP)
-
Quality risk management and risk assessment using various tools
-
Design space generation using Design of Experiments (DoE)
-
Process Analytical Technology (PAT) to understand and control the process
-
Assay development and validation (Analytical QbD) for forced degradation studies and stability studies as per ICH guidelines
Health Economics & Outcomes Research
Cost and efficacy are important determinants for the adoption of new interventions relative to a standard(s). Economic analysis from the perspective of patients, payers and healthcare institutes is necessary to support reimbursement strategies and ensure optimal patient outcome.
We provide the following services in the HEOR area:
-
Budget Impact Analysis
-
Cost of Illness studies
-
Economic model development and validation
-
Development and validation of Patient Reported outcome (PROs)
-
Data mining from patient registries, electronic health records, patient reported outcome (PRO) measures, etc.
