The EULAR congress is the venue for scientific presentation of basic, clinical and translational research. Hopefully, new knowledge can be translated into improved prevention of the rheumatic diseases and into better treatment and rehabilitation of patients with these disorders. The congress is also a meeting point for rheumatologists, health professionals and patients where they come together, exchange ideas, and develop plans for future collaborative research or educational activities.

Trial costs are spiraling as trials are getting bigger and more expensive to run. Major drug manufacturers lose millions when their drug candidates are pulled in late stage clinical trials. Meanwhile, the FDA is developing non-binding guidance papers that encourage drug companies to design and implement "adaptive designs" for clinical trials.

Pharma and Biotech companies seem to be willing to roll out trials using targeted designs because it allows them to make earlier decisions, lower drug development costs and reduce the time it takes to bring a drug to market. In fact, each of the FDA`s drug evaluation branches already report having received such trial proposals from pharmaceutical and biotech sources.

Description: Poorly soluble compounds represent roughly 60% of compounds in drug development, and this figure is only likely to increase. Pharma IQ’s 3rd annual Improving Solubility conference is an essential event for any scientist dealing with poorly soluble compounds, bringing together discovery chemistry and support, preformulation and formulation. Through practical case studies it will explore methods to predict and measure solubility, and strategies for solubility enhancement, including solid state and a range of formulation approaches. Through leading industry examples and in-depth discussion it will uncover best practices to help delegates increase the chances of development success for their poorly soluble compounds.

The life science and pharmaceutical industries are amongst the most analysed and evaluated in business today, and the challenges they face come as no surprise to any CEO or Senior Executive operating in either sector.

Whilst the biotechnology industry continues to drive innovation in drug development and approaches to partnering and collaboration, for those involved in Pharmaceutical business, the common cry is about declining profitability, thinning pipelines, growing competition, increasing operating and marketing costs and consumers’ continual demand for, and expectation of, improved healthcare.
