Goals & Objectives

Goals and Objectives

This interactive professional development course presented by the University of Wisconsin-Madison is designed to provide practical tools for those developing dissolution methods at various stages (including biorelevant methods), and to provide an understanding of the development process for managers, formulators and regulatory affairs/CMC personnel   Building on the history of dissolution, learner is presented with a systematic approach to develop dissolution methods.  The course emphasizes troubleshooting methods when changes in dissolution profiles are observed, and understanding the causes for those changes, including opportunities to discuss real or hypothetical situations.  The topics of biorelevant dissolution, setting specifications and integration of Quality by Design principles are introduced in a manner than facilitates practical implementation.  Finally, several key regulatory and compendial documents are discussed to assist the learners in connecting regulatory expectations with their methods.   Upon completion of this course the learner should be able to:

  1. develop a dissolution method for a pharmaceutical dosage form, using the target product profile and drug substance solubility data;
  2. evaluate changes in dissolution profiles and determine probable root causes and potential solutions;
  3. describe the principles and application of biorelevant dissolution, setting specifications and Quality by Design principles to dissolution methodology; and list the appropriate regulatory or compendial documents which may be pertinent to the situation under evaluation.
