Toxicology Formulation Development

Bridging Discovery to Clinical Trials with Purpose-Built Preclinical Formulations

At Corealis Pharma, we understand the pivotal role toxicology formulations play in successful early drug development. Our Toxicology Formulation Development Services are designed to support preclinical pharmacodynamic (PD), pharmacokinetic (PK), and toxicodynamic (TD) studies with precision and scientific rigor.

By leveraging our decades of expertise in oral solid dosage (OSD) development and clinical supply manufacturing, we provide our clients with streamlined, phase-appropriate solutions that accelerate the path from discovery to clinical readiness while reducing development risk.

Comprehensive Capabilities for Preclinical Formulations

Corealis Pharma brings the same institutional knowledge and infrastructure used in clinical formulations to toxicology support. The preclinical formulations are tailored for physical and chemical stability, route-specific compatibility, and optimized systemic bioavailability.

Formulation Design Specific Drug Substance Characterization

Physical & Material Properties

• Particle morphology (SEM optical microscopy)
• Particle size distribution (laser diffraction)
• Hygroscopicity profiling (10-90% RH, DVS)
• XRPD
• Thermal analysis (DSC, TGA)

Solubility Profiling

• Aqueous and biorelevant media across the pH range.
• Solubility in excipients for enhanced bioavailability and stability.

Efficient Analytical Method Transfer and Development

• Leverage existing drug substance methods for cost savings and accelerated timelines.
• Data collected during toxicology formulation serves as a strategic asset, streamlining and informing method development for clinical phases.

In-Vitro Assessment of Formulation Behavior

• Rapid in-vitro assays enable precise evaluation the formulation solubility and precipitation dynamics across varying pH and biorelevant media.
• Phase appropriate analytical method qualification focused on efficacy, quality, and reproducibility.

Formulation and Vehicle Stability

• Evaluation of the chemical and physical stability of the formulation, including amorphous forms.
• Compatibility and stability testing with potential dosing vehicles to support selection of the final vehicle.
• Biorelevant dissolution testing in dosing vehicles to assess precipitation risks.

Dosing Regimen Evaluation

• ‘In-use’ stability testing under simulated dosing conditions provides critical insights into precipitation and chemical degradation risks.
• Dose recovery studies to ensure delivery accuracy and consistency.

In Vivo PK/TK Design, Management, and Interpretation

• Design and coordination of pharmacokinetic (PK) and toxicokinetic (TK) studies aligned with formulation objectives.
• Interpretation of systemic exposure data to inform formulation suitability, dose selection, and safety margins.
• PK/TK insights are strategically integrated into the iterative formulation development to optimise performance and accelerate decision-making.

Deliverables

• Final dosing formulation provided as a ready-to-reconstitute format.
• Clearly defined preparation instructions and documented stability data to guide scheduling of dosing preparation.

Engaging Corealis Pharma Early

Early collaboration with Corealis Pharma positions your innovator drug program for long-term success:

  • Informed Clinical Strategy: Toxicology data optimizes better choices in excipient selection, process design, and analytical methods for Phase I.
  • Lower Risk: Identify solubility, stability, or manufacturability challenges early—before they disrupt clinical timelines.
  • Faster Transition: Methodologies and knowledge from toxicology phases accelerate clinical formulation and regulatory filings.
  • Regulatory Confidence: Continuity and traceability across development phases support stronger, more consistent submissions.

Your Formulation Partner from Bench through Clinical Trials

With the addition of toxicology formulation development, Corealis Pharma offers end-to-end support—from early feasibility through GMP clinical supply manufacturing and packaging. We are your strategic partner in ensuring a seamless, scientifically grounded transition from discovery to First-in-Human trials and regulatory submission.
