- Phase appropriate drug products for early stage clinical studies (API-in-a-bottle, API-in-a-capsule, fit-for-purpose formulations);
- Immediate release;
- Delayed and Sustained Released;
- Gastric protection;
- Sublingual;
- Effervescent;
- Combination of 2 to 3 APIs (505(b)(2));
- Reformulation of drug products for new therapeutic applications, new dosage forms or different drug loading (505(b)(2));

Our state-of-the-art laboratories and manufacturing facilities, located in the beautiful Biotech Scientific Park situated in Laval (Québec, Canada), allow our experts to successfully complete the most complex formulation development and clinical supply manufacturing mandates.
COREALIS Pharma’s cGMP facility and processes are in full compliance with the ICH guidelines as well as country specific (US, Europe, and Canada) regulatory requirements for clinical studies to be held under their jurisdiction. COREALIS Pharma is continuously improving its quality systems as they are put under scrutiny on a regular basis by clients’ auditors and Qualified Quality Persons (QP) for clinical studies to be held in various European countries. COREALIS Pharma underwent a successful general audit by a QP auditor. This translates into a substantial time and cost savings, because re-auditing COREALIS Pharma for each manufacturing campaign of clinical supplies for European studies is not required.
COREALIS Pharma’s goal is to provide its clients full satisfaction by providing high quality services in delivering compliant phase appropriate drug products on time, every time.
