During formulation development of oral solid dosage forms, complex formulation challenges such as API instability and low solubility are on the rise. Due to various functionalities, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) offers several attractive solutions to address these. With new data and case studies, we have demonstrated the suitability of PVA for spray drying applications covering a wide range of model APIs: from traditional small to emerging molecules, including the exciting new drug class of PROTACs. This webinar provides technical insights on how PVA can be used for a broad range of APIs and shows you the potential for PVA to outperform marketed drug formulations.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How PVA can be effectively applied in spray drying
- How PVA enhances the solubility and stability of traditional and emerging small molecules (e.g. PROTACs) due to its excellent matrix-forming ability
- Demonstration of the application of PVA in spray drying for several case studies for solubility enhancement
Speakers

Markus Lubda, Ph.D.
Merck
Strategic Business Manager
Markus is a biomolecular engineer. He is responsible for the strategic development and positioning of an excipient portfolio for oral solid dosage form applications. Thereby, the focus is to enhance solubility and bioavailability of the most challenging APIs with specifically engineered excipients for oral solid application. He holds a Ph.D. in biology/chemistry from the Technical University of Darmstadt and is a biomolecular engineer.

Lena Mareczek
