INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Delivery Device Functional Scrutiny: Can You Pass (Without) The Test?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden considers the relationship between regulatory testing and the biopharma industry’s interest in leveraging drug delivery platform technologies to reduce regulatory burden in product development. Tom includes a conversation with guest columnist Doug Mead about waivers on testing in the context of FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs).
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.
-
In recent years, the quantity of approvals for products and 505(b)(2) applications has risen, causing developers to map out their regulatory strategy as early as possible.
-
Gain insights into a “simul-spray” process pioneering for combining small and large molecules into a single, atomized drug product for inhalation administration.
-
By embracing new approach methods, regulatory agencies can revolutionize toxicology testing. These methods can be adapted for various medications, including inhalers and nasal-administered drugs.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Nose‑to‑brain delivery enables targeted neurological treatment by using direct neural pathways to boost precision and limit systemic exposure, with new formulations and devices driving rapid progress.
