Avivia is a Dutch independent pharmaceutical R&D organization and your partner in drug (re)formulation, repurposing and repositioning. Our expertise and capabilities are centered around the development of value-added generic drugs, life cycle management of branded drug products, and complex formulation and CMC development of new drug products (NCE).
We operate a hybrid business model combining specialized pharmaceutical CRO service activities with internal product development programs, whereby in both cases, we approach ‘development’ as not just offering a technical solution but always part of a broader product-oriented strategy.
Avivia has four complementary pharmaceutical specialty R&D service platforms:
Pharmaceutical R&D Services
Analytical R&D Services
Dissolution Lab Services
Excipia ™
Pharmaceutical R&D Services

Welcome to Avivia and we hope to be in touch soon!
Nitrosamine prevention or reduction
Avivia advises and supports pharmaceutical companies and excipients manufacturers to mitigate and (re-)design drug product processes to prevent, reduce or eliminate nitrosamines. Avivia strives to provide solutions without affecting bioavailability and safety of the drug product and/or to minimize regulatory dossier variations.

Avivia for all
Big Pharma, speciality pharma, small entrepreneurial drug development firms, generic drug companies, universities, excipient manufacturers, and even venture capital firms… our customer base is very broad and diverse. Although most of our activities are focused on wet-lab product development, we also provide hands-on support services in fields such as IP development, investor’s due diligence, upscaling support, deformulation analysis, life cycle management strategy development, etc.
We have learned that serving many players with very different interests makes us stronger!
Be it the creation of new formulation patents for originator products or the evasion of established formulation patents for generic drug development, we are constantly seeking new IP opportunities to maximize product value. Combined, our team are inventors on more than 30 granted patents on diverse drug products. Patents are in our DNA!

Avivia to get you back on track
We like to get involved right from the start of a development project and work closely together with our clients and partners on transforming the idea into a product with a solid and commercially viable target product profile (TPP). We set the bar high but always work step by step with a clear focus on reaching the required end-result in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
Contact us and let’s see how we can work together on putting your ideas into practice!
Avivia to kick-start a development
In many of the projects we encounter, the development has derailed or – in the worst case and despite all previous efforts – has reached a dead end. We are known for our ability to see through the results and to bring up new ways of approaching the project leading to commercial success. Is it our product-driven mindset that makes the difference? Is it our interdisciplinary development approach or our unique technology capacities and experience?
Hard to say but we are very proud that we often succeed where others have failed before!
Network to accelerate
Avivia has access to a great team of pharmaceutical R&D professionals as well as to state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure and equipment. We have also developed a large network or preferred partners in other fields such as pre-clinical development, GMP manufacturing and regulatory affairs. If relevant, we can always make use of their expertise and capacity to further optimize and accelerate customer projects.
It’s great to have friends!
