CRS Satellite Workshop
Development and Regulatory Challenges for Controlled Release Formulations Workshop
Co-sponsored with AAPS
November 9–10, 2007
San Diego Convention Center
San Diego, CA
Goals and Objectives
- To provide understanding of the development challenges for controlled release formulations utilizing proven and evolving new technologies;
- To discuss and understand the regulatory challenges encountered (and overcome) in the development of a controlled released drug formulation;
- To provide a venue to informally meet with other scientists/regulatory authorities; and
- To share and discuss fundamental science and experiences that may be of value to individuals dealing with various CR technologies.
What the Attendee will Gain and How to Apply it
- To increase an individual’s knowledge about a variety of controlled release technologies that may not be found in the literature through shared experiences and panel discussions;
- To apply newly acquired knowledge and a suitable approach to the potential design of the attendees' own pharmaceutical products;
- The opportunity for informal discussion on topics of mutual interest with other attendees as well as renowned speakers; and
- The opportunity to share individual experiences and opportunity to gain insights that may be applicable to the current activities of the attendee.
