| abstract |
Methods and systems for developing and manufacturing componentized drug product precursor modules that can be simply assembled to create customized drug products are disclosed. Each module contains components of a final drug product (e.g., active pharmaceutical ingredients, nutritional ingredients, and/or excipients) in a fixed mixture selected to maximize desired pharmaceutical characteristics (e.g., stability, manufacturing efficiency) and minimize cost. The modules can be extensively tested for quality and assembled immediately, or at a later time, in multiple combinations to customize the final drug product characteristics (e.g., multiple active ingredients, doses, flavor, viscosity, etc.) to meet individual patient/consumer needs and/or preferences while assuring high quality. Permitted combinations may be maintained in a database to enable networked drug product selection, prescribing, and ordering. Each resulting customized drug product dose can be labeled to facilitate compliance and reduce the number of drug products administered per day. |
