Abstract
Solid dispersion (SD) system has been used as an effective formulation strategy to increase in vitro and in vivo performances of poorly water-soluble drugs, such as solubility/dissolution, stability and bioavailability. This review provides a comprehensive SD classification and identifies the most popular amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs). Meanwhile, this review further puts forward the systematic design strategy of satisfactory ASDs in terms of drug properties, carrier selection, preparation methods and stabilization mechanisms. In addition, hot melt extrusion (HME) as the continuous manufacturing technique is described including the principle and structure of HME instrument, key process parameters and production application, in order to guide the scale-up of ASDs and develop more ASD products to the market in pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
The present paper reports a thorough continuous powder blending process design of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) based on the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) guideline. A NIR-based method was applied using multivariate data analysis to achieve in-line process monitoring. The process dynamics were described with residence time distribution (RTD) models to achieve deep process understanding. The RTD was determined using the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) as a tracer with multiple designs of experiment (DoE) studies to determine the effect of critical process parameters (CPPs) on the process dynamics. To achieve quality control through material diversion from feeding data, soft sensor-based process control tools were designed using the RTD model. The operation block model of the system was designed to select feasible experimental setups using the RTD model, and feeder characterizations as digital twins, therefore visualizing the output of theoretical setups. The concept significantly reduces the material and instrumental costs of process design and implementation.

Abstract
The presence of a 'significant dead zone' in any continuous manufacturing equipment may affect the product quality and need to be investigated systematically. Dead zone will affect the residence time distribution (RTD) of continuous manufacturing and thus the mixing and product quality. Tablet press (feed frame) is one of unit operations that directly influence the critical quality attributes (CQA's). However, currently no systematic methods and tools are available to characterize and model the feed frame dead zone. In this manuscript, the RTD of the tablet press feed frame containing dead zone is investigated. Step-change experiments revealed that the feed frame could be expressed as a traditional continuous stirred tank model. The volume fractions of the dead zones are determined experimentally as well as using RTD model. In addition, an in-line NIR method for drug concentration monitoring inside the feed frame is also developed. The developed NIR calibration model enables to monitor the drug concentration precisely and detect the variation immediately with the probe positioned right above the left paddle. It is also found that the feed frame paddle speed slightly affects the predictive accuracy of NIR, while the die disc speed has no significant effect.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is considered to be an unsuitable carrier for hot-melt extrusion (HME) due to its low processability. In this study, we focused on a lowly hydrolyzed PVA (JR-05, 70.0-74.0% hydrolyzed, L-PVA) to evaluate the potential use of L-PVA as a carrier for HME using the Hoftyzer and Krevelen method and thermodynamic models. These evaluations for drug-polymer systems based on the Flory-Huggins theory predicted the physicochemical properties of the solubility and miscibility between indomethacin (IND) and PVAs. Prior to initiating formulation studies, construction of IND and PVA phase diagrams provided guidance for design process conditions in HME. On the basis of the results of the validation studies, a conventional grade of PVA (JP-05, 87.0-89.0% hydrolyzed) is unlikely to be suitable as a carrier of HME due to its low plasticity, resulting in rapid recrystallization in the evaluation of in vitro dissolution and stability caused by poor miscibility. On the other hand, JR-05 demonstrated high processability, leading to the preparation of miscible extrudate with a high stability and an excellent in vitro dissolution profile due to its unique micelle-forming capability. These findings suggest that L-PVA brings about new carrier options among non-ionic polymers for HME.

Abstract
Cocrystals are homogenous (single-phase) crystalline structures composed by two or more components in a definite stoichiometric ratio bonded together by noncovalent bonds. Pharmaceutical industry has been showing interest in cocrystals due to their ability to improve active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's) properties, such as solubility, dissolution, bioavailability, stability and processability. The necessity for high-throughput screening methods and methods capable of producing cocrystals in an industrial scale still hinders the use of cocrystals by the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of this review is to present an extensive overview of the cocrystallization methods, focusing in the specificities of each technique, its advantages and disadvantages. The review is divided into solvent-based and solvent-free methods. The most appropriate methods to the different stages of cocrystals manufacture, from the screening phase to industrial production are identified. The use of continuous and scalable methods in cocrystal production as well as the implementation of quality-by-design and process analytical technology concepts are also addressed.

Twin Screw Granulation: An Investigation of the Effect of Barrel Fill Level. Pharmaceutics 2018; 10:pharmaceutics10020067.

Abstract
This paper focuses on investigating the influence of varying barrel fill levels on the mean residence time, granule properties (median size, size distribution, and shape), and tensile strength of tablets. Specific feed load (SFL) (powder feed rate divided by screw speed) and powder feed number (PFN) (i.e., powder mass flow rate divided by the product of screw speed, screw diameter, and the material density in the denominator) were considered as surrogates for the barrel fill level. Two type of powders (lactose and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)) were granulated separately at varying fill levels at different liquid-to-solid ratios (L/S). It was observed that by controlling the barrel fill level, the granule size, shape, and tablet tensile strength can be maintained at specific L/S. It was also noticed that the mean residence time decreased with increasing fill levels in the case of both lactose and MCC powder. However, it was only found to be related to the change in granule size in case of granulating microcrystalline cellulose at varying fill levels. At very high fill levels, granule size decreased, owing to a limited interaction between MCC powder and liquid at high throughput force and short residence time.

Abstract
The aim of this article was to construct a T-ϕ phase diagram for a model drug (FD) and amorphous polymer (Eudragit® EPO) and to use this information to understand the impact of how temperature-composition coordinates influenced the final properties of the extrudate. Defining process boundaries and understanding drug solubility in polymeric carriers is of utmost importance and will help in the successful manufacture of new delivery platforms for BCS class II drugs. Physically mixed felodipine (FD)-Eudragit(®) EPO (EPO) binary mixtures with pre-determined weight fractions were analysed using DSC to measure the endset of melting and glass transition temperature. Extrudates of 10 wt% FD-EPO were processed using temperatures (110°C, 126°C, 140°C and 150°C) selected from the temperature-composition (T-ϕ) phase diagrams and processing screw speed of 20, 100 and 200rpm. Extrudates were characterised using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), optical, polarised light and Raman microscopy. To ensure formation of a binary amorphous drug dispersion (ADD) at a specific composition, HME processing temperatures should at least be equal to, or exceed, the corresponding temperature value on the liquid-solid curve in a F-H T-ϕ phase diagram. If extruded between the spinodal and liquid-solid curve, the lack of thermodynamic forces to attain complete drug amorphisation may be compensated for through the use of an increased screw speed. Constructing F-H T-ϕ phase diagrams are valuable not only in the understanding drug-polymer miscibility behaviour but also in rationalising the selection of important processing parameters for HME to ensure miscibility of drug and polymer.

Abstract
Biopharmaceuticals are some of the most effective drugs on the market, however, delivery remains a challenge. Melt processing is a viable protein encapsulation method because it is solvent free, is high throughput, and yields very high encapsulation efficiencies. Problematically, proteins can lose activity during melt processing due to high heat and shear forces. Covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol), or PEGylation, has been widely used to increase thermal stability and prevent aggregation in solution. This study explored the effect of PEGylation on protein stability during melt processing using lysozyme and PLGA. The results indicate that PEGylation increases the retained activity of lysozyme, increases dispersion in the melt, and reduces the biphasic release profile in melt processed systems.

Abstract
The effects of three ways of binder delivery into the twin screw granulator (TSG) on the residence time, torque, properties of granules (size, shape, strength) and binder distribution were studied. The binder distribution was visualised through the transparent barrel using high speed imaging as well as quantified using offline technique. Furthermore, the effect of binder delivery and the change of screw configuration (conveying elements only and conveying elements with kneading elements) on the surface velocity of granules across the screw channel were investigated using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The binder was delivered in three ways; all solid binder incorporated with powder mixture, 50% of solid binder mixed with powder mixture and 50% mixed with water, all the solid binder dissolved in water. Incorporation of all solid binder with powder mixture resulted in the relatively longer residence time and higher torque, narrower granule size distribution, more spherical granules, weaker big-sized granules, stronger small-sized granules and better binder distribution compared to that in other two ways. The surface velocity of granules showed variation from one screw to another as a result of uneven liquid distribution as well as shown a reduction while introducing the kneading elements into the screw configuration.

Abstract
Hot melt extrusion has been a widely used process in the pharmaceutical area for three decades. In this field, it is important to optimize the formulation in order to meet specific requirements. However, the process parameters of the extruder should be as much investigated as the formulation since they have a major impact on the final product characteristics. Moreover, a design space should be defined in order to obtain the expected product within the defined limits. This gives some freedom to operate as long as the processing parameters stay within the limits of the design space. Those limits can be investigated by varying randomly the process parameters but it is recommended to use design of experiments. An examination of the literature is reported in this review to summarize the impact of the variation of the process parameters on the final product properties. Indeed, the homogeneity of the mixing, the state of the drug (crystalline or amorphous), the dissolution rate, the residence time, can be influenced by variations in the process parameters. In particular, the impact of the following process parameters: temperature, screw design, screw speed and feeding, on the final product, has been reviewed.

Abstract
This study reports on research results in the field of a mixing process under the action of a transverse rotating magnetic field (TRMF). The main objective of this paper is to present the effect of this type of a magnetic field on residence time distribution (RTD) measurements. This paper evaluates the performance of a magnetic mixer by comparing the results of an experimental investigations in a pilot set-up and theoretical values obtained from mathematical model. This model consisting of the set of ideal continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) fitted well the experimental data.
