Pediatric formulation and product development
The development of acceptable, palatable pediatric formulations is a key feature within the industry today, driven by patient needs and regulatory requirements. 

Quotient Sciences has extensive knowledge and capabilities that enable us to provide you with a unique integrated pediatric development solution.

Many drug substances are extremely bitter or have other aversive attributes,which can make developing palatable drug products extremely challenging.This is a common problem seen in medicines spanning all therapeutic areas,from antibiotics and painkillers to antihistamines and decongestants. The careful design and development of formulated oral drug products is key to ensuring patient acceptability and compliance for achieving the desired clinical outcomes.

Are you developing a new dosage form for an existing drug? 

Do you need to explore a different route of administration?

Quotient has significant experience in 505(b)(2)product development and can support you in efficiently turning your innovative ideas into successful products.Over the past several years, the FDA’s 505(b)(2)regulatory pathway has enabled the approval of a variety of differentiated dosage forms for existing molecules

Translational Pharmaceutics® accelerates drug development by integrating formulation development, real-time manufacturing and clinical testing. The platform is unique to Quotient Sciences and has been used over the last decade by global pharmaceutical and biotech companies across over 400 drug programs.

Quotient is a leading expert in the application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling and simulation (M&S) science to drug development. 

Using GastroPlus™ we advise our clients on the potential in vivo performance of drugs and formulations to inform product and clinical development strategies. 


Whether working in a consultancy relationship or as part of an integrated program of work, our PBPK expertise is underpinned by our unique and extensive experience in pharmaceutics, biopharmaceutics, DMPK and clinical research.

Quotient Sciences provides integrated pharmacy compounding, formulation, GMP manufacturing and clinical testing solutions to help clients achieve their proof-of-concept (POC) milestone quickly, saving them precious development time and money.  

Begin your First-in-Human (FIH) Phase I testing with a fit-for-purpose, simple pharmacy preparation, and then seamlessly transition to a scalable, solid oral GMP drug product for Phase II trials, all within one organization.

With more than 30 years’ experience, Quotient is a leader in the development, manufacture and assessment of inhalation products, helping clients to accelerate molecules from first-in-human through to proof-of-concept. 

Our integrated capabilities and vast knowledge encompasses pre-formulation sciences, formulation development, device evaluation, clinical trial manufacturing and the clinical assessment of a variety of inhaled formats for nasal and pulmonary delivery.

High Potency Drug Development & Manufacturing

Highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) are becoming increasingly common in drug development pipelines, especially in the oncology sector, as researchers search for therapies with greater selectivity and pharmacological activity. However, HPAPIs present additional CMC challenges due to the containment requirements to protect both the operators and manufacturing facilities. Their production processes may also require greater precision and control due to the very small quantities of drug present in the final dosage form.

Whatever your requirements, Quotient Sciences can support you in the generation of clinical metabolism data for your drug development program and for NDA, MAA and global regulatory filings.

Quotient Sciences’ Translational Pharmaceutics® approach enables First-in-Human studies by re-engineering the transition of your drug molecule into clinical development and shortening the timeline to Proof-of-Concept.

How? Quotient’s Translational Pharmaceutics® platform integrates formulation development, real-time adaptive GMP manufacturing and clinical testing so that drug product manufacture occurs immediately prior to dosing.Each manufacture of drug product is therefore conducted in response to emerging clinical data. This approach delivers significant benefits to the development team.

Overcoming poor drug solubility and bioavailability challenges

Drug solubility has a significant impact on bioavailability. 70% of new chemical entities (NCEs) suffer from low aqueous solubility that can result in failure during clinical testing due to poor bioavailability. Selecting an appropriate drug formulation is imperative to the success of the program.

Project Management at Quotient – A True Partnership
Quotient is an innovative drug development and manufacturing partner supporting clients from candidate selection to commercial launch. With expertise in end-to-end Project Management and integrated project teams, we make drug development easier for our customers and dramatically reduce the time and cost of getting new medicines to patients.

John McDermott, Executive Director, Drug Development Solutions - Quotient Sciences discusses Translational Pharmaceutics at CPHI Worldwide, and how a recent Tufts study has proven the significant savings and financial benefits for drug developers who use Translational Pharmaceutics.

As the number of poorly soluble compounds continues to increase in the industry development pipeline, conventional formulation strategies may not be sufficient to achieve acceptable levels of solubility in the gastrointestinal tract and hence absorption into the systemic circulation. Scientists will need to utilize advanced formulation technologies to maximize oral bioavailability.
