Abstract This research study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel freeze-dried nanocrystals formulation of sotorasib (AMG-510) using Quality by Design (QbD) approach to enhance solubility, dissolution, and oral bioavailability. A QbD framework use for identification, optimization and validation of…
