Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) can increase the bioavailability of drugs with poor aqueous solubility. However, concentration-sustaining dispersion polymers (CSPs) incorporated in ASDs can result in low drug loading and, therefore, a large dosage-form size or multiple units to meet dose requirements, potentially decreasing patient compliance. To address this challenge, a high-loaded dosage-form (HLDF) architecture for ASDs was developed, in which a drug is first spray-dried with a high glass-transition temperature ( T  g ) dispersion polymer to facilitate high drug loading while maintaining physical stability. The ASD is then granulated with a CSP designed to extend supersaturation in solution. The HLDF differs from traditional ASD architectures in which the dispersion polymer inside the ASD acts as the CSP. By strategically combining two different polymers, one "inside" and one "outside" the ASD, solubilization performance, physical stability, and overall drug loading are maximized. This study demonstrates in vivo performance of the HLDF architecture using posaconazole as a model drug. Two sizes of HLDF tablets were tested in beagle dogs, along with traditional ASD architecture (benchmark) tablets, ASD tablets without a CSP, and a commercial crystalline oral suspension (Noxafil OS). HLDF tablets performed equivalently to the benchmark tablets, the smaller HLDF tablet being 40% smaller (by mass) than the benchmark tablet. The HLDF tablets doubled the blood plasma AUC relative to Noxafil OS. In line with the in vivo outcome, in vitro results in a multicompartment dissolution apparatus demonstrated similar area under the curve (AUC) values in the intestinal compartment for ASD tablets. However, the in vitro data underpredicted the relative in vivo AUC of Noxafil OS compared to the ASD tablets. This study demonstrated that the HLDF approach can increase drug loadings while achieving good performance for ASD drug products.
