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 segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, uses the example of a connected pen cap to discuss technology, patient, and market considerations at the intersection of drugs, devices, and data.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Just Breathe: Increasing Efficacy And Expanding Targets With Inhalation Delivery, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Geraldine Venthoye to describe approaches to using oral and nasal inhalation to target systemic conditions beyond the nose and lungs. Venthoye lists opioid overdose, cardiovascular conditions, and CNS (central nervous system) diseases among promising indications for inhalation-delivered treatments.  

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, discuses critical components of an integrated regulatory strategy for advanced therapy product development. 

See how PBPK models combined with custom and off-the-shelf in vitro tools and solubility enhancement expertise can reduce the need for drug product reformulation or repeated preclinical or clinical studies.
