Mixture DOE and Design Space

Patrick J. Whitcomb and Mark J. Anderson, Stat-Ease, Inc., Minneapolis, MN

Present a case study on mixture DOE involving five components used to formulate a pharmaceutical tablet. The goal is to achieve a sustained release by optimizing the concentration of a hydrophilic polymer in relation to the proportions of a drug and three excipients. Four responses (two related to release) are measured and modeled. Then numeric and graphical optimization are used to define a design space.
