Optimizing Pediatric Product Development For Commercialization Success

Ensuring medication adherence in pediatric patients presents a growing concern due to their evolving physiology and pharmacokinetics across various developmental stages, from neonates to adolescents. This diversity presents challenges for pharmacotherapy, affecting the design and development of pediatric patient-centric formulations.

Key challenges in this domain involve achieving flexible and accurate dosing, facilitating ease of swallowing, and ensuring palatability. One of the most effective strategies to date are multiparticulates-based formulations (granules, beads, pellets, minitabs, etc.), which offer dose flexibility, accuracy, and ease of swallowing when combined with various dosage formats such as orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs), sprinkle on foods, powder for reconstitution or suspension.

This presentation addresses the significance of pediatric populations, the regulatory requirements, and challenges in pediatric formulation development. It explores various dosing solutions and strategies, including multiparticulates, that can efficiently address formulation challenges.
