Patient-focused Development of Biopharmaceutical Products

This open access book builds the case for the business motivation, techniques, and approaches to use in development of a medicinal product for human therapy, whether delivered via an oral dose form (“pill” or solution) or a delivery system (device). It shares the growing demands by patients and caregivers, as well as regulators, for designs which are most easily understood and usable, and which can ensure the medication can be consistently delivered and will, therefore, allow best outcomes. The book weaves skills in “human-centered design” into the design of medicinal delivery systems. It would be a reference for those in academia studying pharmacokinetics, formulation or product design and development, as well as those in the development of biopharmaceutical therapies.

This is an open access book.
