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
-
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.
-
Discover how patient-centric design principles can improve the development of medical devices. By focusing on user needs and behaviors, manufacturers can ensure that products align with expectations.
-
Explore the material and performance properties of spray-dried and jet-milled mannitol for respiratory delivery of crystalline mannitol.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Combination products provide significant avenues for increasing patient adherence and overall efficacy. This collection outlines the opportunity and identifies strategies for gaining regulatory approval.
-
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.
INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY SOLUTIONS
-
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.
-
Human‑relevant models deliver greatest value with clear questions, rigorous execution, and confident interpretation — turning innovation into trusted evidence for development and regulatory decisions.
-
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.
-
Kymanox provides turnkey services to bring your product from concept to commercialization — and helps keep your product on the market. Kymanox has expertise in injectables (e.g., syringes, mechanical and electromechanical autoinjectors, wearable injectors, dual chamber systems, reconstitution systems), respiratory combination products (e.g., metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, nasal sprays), and in ocular products (e.g., multi-dose containers, single-use injectables).
