Abstract

Drug delivery technologies for modified drug release have been in existence for a long time, but their utilization has been largely limited to extending market exclusivity and improving patient adherence to therapy. Recently, they are gaining renewed importance as pharmaceutical industry is steadily shifting to a more integrated discovery-development approach. In discovery, modulating target engagement via drug delivery technologies can enable crucial pharmacology studies for building a strong foundation and well-defined criteria for molecular design. In development, earlier implementation of delivery technologies can enhance the value of drug products through reduced dosing frequency, improved tolerability and/or safety profile, thereby leading to better adherence and therapeutic effectiveness.
