Panel: Are innovation and Excipients Mutually Exclusive?

  • How non-accidental excipients are at the crossroads between regulation, return on investment and innovation. 
  • Why advanced formulations require excipients designed for purpose and why the safety requirements are not a barrier to innovation.

  • Why we need a positive (and negative) list of excipients and their approved routes of administration.
