Envisaging the Future of Long-Acting Injectables and Implants
摘要
LAIs have become an important area of drug development due to their positive effects on patient adherence in various therapeutic areas. However, the development of LAIs presents unique challenges that must be addressed for successful implementation. In this chapter, several strategies are discussed to shorten the development timeline. In addition, other factors such as drug substance characteristics, formulation and manufacturing, biomaterials, analytics, and biocompatibility of the LAIs are discussed to minimize the risk of failure in any stage of development. A patient-centric approach is suggested for the future development of LAIs.
