First-Time-Right Drug Product Development for Small Molecules

At Crystal Pharmatech, we provide integrated formulation development services for oral drug products, helping innovative biotech and pharmaceutical companies accelerate molecules from First-in-Human (FIH) studies to commercial manufacturing.


Unlike traditional “fit-for-purpose” strategies that often create costly downstream reformulation risks, our First-Time-Right philosophy ensures robust bioavailability, scalable manufacturing, and regulatory readiness from day one.

Oral Solid Dosage Forms

Most small molecule drugs are formulated as oral solid dosage (OSD) forms, such as tablets or capsules. OSD has been an important part of the global pharmaceutical market. The formulation team of Crys...

Amorphous Solid Dispersion (Spray Drying & Hot-melt Extrusion)

Recent statistics indicate that approximately 70% of small molecules under development belong to Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) II or IV poorly water-soluble drugs. At Crystal Pharmatech...

Pediatric Formulation (Mini-tablet)

The development of acceptable, palatable pediatric formulations is undergoing transformation within the industry today, driven by patient needs and regulatory requirements. Therefore, the demand for a...

Why First-Time-Right Matters

Early shortcuts — such as powder-in-capsule or super placebo approaches — may slightly speed initial studies but frequently result in:


  • Reformulation after POC

  • Bioavailability variability

  • Additional human PK bridging studies with high cost

  • Regulatory delays


Our approach eliminates these risks through integrated design, predictive modeling, and scalable process with line of sight for late stage development.

The M3 Philosophy: Molecule · Material · Medicine

A well-designed formulation must balance desired bioavailability, stability (physicochemical, and microbiological), and a scalable manufacturing process. We follow the M3 drug product development philosophy, creating tailor-made formulation designs for each molecule.

We begin with a deep scientific understanding of your compound:


  • Target Product Profile (TPP) alignment

  • Early DMPK and pharmacodynamics assessment

  • Safety margin integration

  • Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) positioning

Material
