WEDNESDAY MORNING SYMPOSIA<br />
Funded by a Grant from<br />
8:30 am – 11:00 am<br />
Extrapolation Preclinical Data to<br />
Predict Human Pharmacokinetics:<br />
Understanding and Practice<br />
Symposium<br />
Screening, understanding, and optimizing the in<br />
vivo performance <strong>of</strong> drug products is required to<br />
achieve desirable clinical efficacy target and safety<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iles in patients. Even though the drug products<br />
are ultimately investigated in human, the use <strong>of</strong><br />
human subjects is clearly limited by ethical concerns<br />
and restrictions <strong>of</strong> cost. As the use <strong>of</strong> animal models<br />
in drug research and development is evident, careful<br />
and educated utilization <strong>of</strong> this preclinical approach<br />
is required. In this symposium, understanding<br />
<strong>of</strong> physiologies <strong>of</strong> animal species relevant to<br />
PK assessment will be highlighted. Attempts <strong>of</strong><br />
using animal models to increase the precision<br />
and accuracy <strong>of</strong> PK predictions and to enable a<br />
better understanding <strong>of</strong> complex ADME behavior in<br />
humans will be discussed.<br />

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ROUNDTABLES<br />
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm<br />
Salts, Co-crystals, Polymorphs/Solvates,<br />
Nanoparticles, or Amorphous: How to<br />
Pick the Winner<br />
Roundtable<br />
In the past the most common approach was to<br />
choose the most stable crystalline form to go<br />
forward into development. However, many <strong>of</strong> the<br />
new drug candidates have extremely poor solubility,<br />
which can result in poor bioavailability. There are<br />
multiple methods to increasing the bioavailability<br />
<strong>of</strong> a compound, including generating a salt form,<br />
a metastable crystalline form, a co-crystal, a<br />
nanoparticle formulation, an amorphous form, or<br />
an amorphous dispersion. Choosing which form is<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten a balance between the benefits <strong>of</strong> enhanced<br />
solubility/bioavailability and the detriment <strong>of</strong><br />
form interconversion to a different form and<br />
correspondingly reduced bioavailability. In this<br />
roundtable the speakers will discuss the advantages<br />
and disadvantages <strong>of</strong> choosing each <strong>of</strong> the different<br />
forms, including the issues <strong>of</strong> producing a less<br />
stable form that does not interconvert and the scaleup<br />
and manufacturing <strong>of</strong> metastable forms.<br />

Tumor Targeting Using Nanotechnologybased<br />
Drug Delivery Systems<br />
Roundtable<br />
The method <strong>of</strong> delivery plays an important role in<br />
ensuring that the drug reaches its target site for<br />
therapeutic effect. Novel modes <strong>of</strong> delivery methods<br />
using nanosphere technology are receiving wide<br />
attention as these have shown superior delivery<br />
compared to conventional dosage forms. Recently,<br />
nanotechnology has galvanized practically every<br />
sector <strong>of</strong> research, engineering and the business<br />
community. From a pharmaceutical standpoint,<br />
new functions arising from nanosizing such as<br />
improved solubility, targetability and adhesion<br />
to tissues allow the design <strong>of</strong> new drug delivery<br />
systems. In the therapeutic arena, nanotechnologybased<br />
systems with drug targeting properties<br />
promises to expand the repertoire <strong>of</strong> innovative<br />
systems, thereby revolutionizing health care delivery<br />
especially in cancer therapy. This roundtable will<br />
provide attendees with an overview <strong>of</strong> the current<br />
progress and opportunities as well as challenges in<br />
the design <strong>of</strong> nanotechnology-based drug delivery<br />
systems bearing tumor-targeting properties.<br />
