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
-
Early stage formulation studies, which should support the emerging target product profile, will often yield important experimental results to aid subsequent development of clinically relevant dosage forms.
-
By transitioning to alternative solvents or leveraging process aids, the challenges associated with the use of these chemicals can be addressed, helping create a sustainable, greener footprint.
-
A compound with poor biopharmaceutical properties or improper formulation design could lead to a delay in the project or even program termination.
-
In a recent webinar, Lonza discussed the process it uses to develop a spray dried powder formulation and scale from early feasibility studies to manufacturing.
-
Dr. Kimberly Shepard, a principal R&D engineer at Lonza, offered insights on recent innovations pioneered in spray drying. Shepard also discussed spray drying technologies capable of combining small-molecule APIs with biotherapeutic molecules.
-
To mitigate inherent risks like inconsistent dosing, user error, and low adoption due to complex usage procedures, technological innovation in delivery devices is best guided by lessons from the past, including user feedback and follow-on learnings from market data.
-
David Lyon, Ph.D., and Molly Adam answer attendee questions from a recent webinar about three enabling technologies designed to improve drug solubility in organic solvents for spray drying.
