INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES

inhaled-biologics-GettyImages-178032857 Inquiries In Inhalation, Part 2: Having A Nose For Innovation

In this follow-up article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden extends his Part 1 discussion of therapeutic targets for inhaled drugs and biologics into specific aspects of delivery innovation. Among the key considerations are particle engineering, device usability, and the coordination across the ecosystem of inhalation delivery design, development, and distribution. The coverage of advances in device technologies includes inhalers, nebulizers, and nasal sprays.

In this episode of Sit and Deliver, host Tom von Gunden talks with Merck VP of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Clinical Supply Allen Templeton about formulation and device considerations for combination products and other delivery systems deployed across a range of molecule types and sizes. The conversation takes them from small molecules, through peptides and mAbs, to large molecule biologics, across various routes of administration including oral, injectable, and inhalation.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Eying The Drug Delivery Regulatory Landscape: The 'Must See' Watch List For 2026, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks the panel to comment on front-of-mind regulatory movements of note. From her role as Director of Regulatory Policy at Novo Nordisk, Rumi Young identifies the inclusion of combination products in FDA initiatives focused on combatting chronic diseases and improving patient accessibility. Panelists Barr Weiner and Fran DeGrazio weigh in.

How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to Design Controls during the design and development of a combination product? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event EDDOs Revisited: Putting Essential Drug Delivery Outputs Into Practice, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC illustrates how the concept of Design Outputs fits within the broader context of Design Controls.

What constitutes an EDDO (Essential Drug Delivery Output)? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event EDDOs Revisited: Putting Essential Drug Delivery Outputs Into Practice, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC illustrates how to identify system-level drug delivery outputs that are device-dependent and, therefore, essential.
