INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Part 4 cGMP Summaries For Combination Products: Uncovering FDA Expectations
In this article, consultant Doug Mead reports on precedent research he conducted into FDA databases on 21 CFR Subpart cGMPs for combination products. His observations and conclusions offer sound advice on how to approach summaries submitted for BLA and NDA purposes.
INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY RESOURCES
-
Explore an integrated service package designed to simplify and accelerate the development pathway, even for APIs with challenging properties such as low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability.
-
Combination therapies delivered directly to the lung by dry powder inhalants are an effective means of reducing patient burden. Read about case studies that illustrate the potential for improving care.
-
Review a process where the insoluble and unstable free-base form of clopidogrel is converted to a form with acceptable drug loading and is protected from chemical degradation.
-
The $118 billion combination-product market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 8.8%. This article answers the question: “Is this actually a combination product? What do we need to do if it is?”
-
Explore the material and performance properties of spray-dried and jet-milled mannitol for respiratory delivery of crystalline mannitol.
-
IVIVR modeling leverages in-vitro testing knowledge toward predicting in-vivo testing results, often reducing long-term development costs by facilitating more informed decision-making during drug development.
-
Spray drying of amorphous dispersions improves solubility and bioavailability, enabling supersaturation in the intestine and driving higher absorption rates when compared to crystalline drug forms.
INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY SOLUTIONS
-
Developing an optimized formulation tailored to your API nanoparticles is critical to unlocking their full potential.
-
Modern inhalation platforms, improved formulations, and greener propellants speed development and strengthen respiratory performance, with key factors guiding device choice and clinical readiness.

-
How integrated analytics, formulation, and manufacturing enable fast‑acting, noninvasive nasal therapies while helping teams align delivery needs, regulations, and performance goals.
-
OFM automatic filling and closing machines are designed for pharmaceutical formulations, such as syrups, ophthalmic products, and nasal sprays either in glass or plastic containers.
-
Our formulation development and material sciences experts have over 30 years’ experience in pre-formulation and solid state characterization.
-
This comprehensive suite of services encompasses the entire spectrum of user research, starting from the conceptualization of study designs to meticulous data analysis and comprehensive reporting.
-
Advanced nanotechnology improves biologics with higher drug loads, better stability, new delivery routes, and enhanced performance in injectables, inhalation, and long‑acting therapies.
-
Large volume humidifiers and nebulizers – typically in sizes from 250 – 1000mL – can be specifically designed to fit existing delivery devices. Custom designs to facilitate the control of humidification in oxygen delivery can be developed.
