Just Breathe: Increasing Efficacy And Expanding Targets With Inhalation Delivery

This Drug Delivery panel discussion will illuminate ways in which innovations in inhalation, via both oral and nasal routes to respiratory pathways and the lungs, are increasing patient convenience and therapeutic efficacy while expanding the range of targeted indications. Host Tom von Gunden will engage expert panelists Nani Kadrichu, David Morton, Stephen Stein, and Geraldine Venthoye in a focused look at advances in formulation science and device technology for inhalers, nebulizers, and combination products.

The panel will illuminate formulation and device design considerations for various scenarios, including:
o Overcoming delivery challenges while addressing common or unmet therapeutic needs
o Leveraging the lungs as a pathway to therapeutic indications beyond respiratory
o Fostering non-clinical applications, including for at home, self-administration
o Maintaining affordability while advancing sustainable, “green” initiatives
o Transitioning formerly IV- or injection-only administered therapies (e.g., large molecule biologics) to inhalation options)
