Continuous processing has long been applied successfully in all the chemical/material processing industries such as chemical, petroleum, food, plastics etc. Pharmaceutical manufacturing has been dominated by batch processing concept, where each unit dosage form is identified by a batch and tracked accordingly. Over the last decade, many successful efforts have been reported within pharmaceutical manufacturing involving continuous processing. While drug substance manufacturing has lead the way in implementing continuous processing, there is considerable effort being carried out in drug product manufacturing as well. This session invites research efforts and success stories implementing continuous processing for API and drug product manufacturing.
