Formulation & Development
At Pyramid Pharma Services, you’ll have one team, together in one site, working toward one goal: the successful design and development of your project. To get there, we harness our decades of experience in liquid and lyophilization cycle development along with our long history of expertise in analytical methods that inform our work.
Our process
Intelligent Drug Design—Your Long-Term Goals in Mind
Whether your product is a small molecule or a biotech pharmaceutical (protein, peptide or oligonucleotide), we can support the design and execution of pre-formulation and formulation development studies that will help define your final drug product formulation.
01
Formulation Development
We integrate formulation development with primary packaging selection and process design phases to yield a parenteral product that meets or exceeds your performance expectations for a clinical drug—and, ultimately, for a marketable product.
02
Lyophilization
Should you choose to lyophilize your drug product, PYRAMID has the experience and tools necessary to help design a stable dosage form, along with an effective and efficient lyophilization cycle.
03
Stabilization Strategies
Our scientists have an armamentarium of successful formulation strategies to stabilize sensitive protein and peptide pharmaceuticals. Our differential scanning calorimeter and lab scale lyophilizers enable us to establish the optimum lyophilization cycle parameters for your drug product.
