Rapid Growth Seen for Pulmonary Drug Delivery

(Nashua, NH) – The search for improved routes of administration for macromolecular therapeutic agents and the desire for noninvasive delivery methods for self-medication of chronic conditions have led to increased interest in pulmonary drug delivery systems. Recent developments, including escalating research activity in powder formulations, advances in particle engineering, and novel device architectures have now positioned pulmonary drug delivery as a formidable challenger to competing delivery methods, and are establishing pulmonary inhalation as a significant factor in the noninvasive drug delivery sector.

A number of therapeutic drug classes are currently under investigation as candidates for delivery via inhalation devices. These drug classes encompass a broad range of conditions and ailments, including neurology, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, and pain management. As developers of pulmonary inhalation devices attempt to define the design envelope for new devices, the use of low-cost, miniaturized electronics is receiving considerable attention. The aim of this next generation of devices will focus on issues such as patient-to-patient inspiratory flow rate variability, powder de-aggregation, and particle size optimization.

These developments are examined in a new and comprehensive report – Pulmonary Drug Delivery: Inhaled Systemic Therapeutics. The report analyzes current inhaled systemic drug products and assesses the next generation of candidates and their probable impact on treatment options and the competitive landscape.
