The performance of an inhaled or nasal drug product is determined by more than the device. Formulation, device, actuation and aerosol behavior interact to determine what is delivered, where it goes and, ultimately, what may be available for absorption. Understanding those relationships is increasingly important as developers tackle challenges including low-GWP propellants, biologics, vaccines and novel delivery approaches.
Inside the Spray: Beyond the Device asks the fundamental questions that can help development teams understand their product earlier: How does it fly? Where does it land? What lands? And what happens next?
Compendial methods answer part of this. Focusing on characterization rather than as a specification check, they build the foundation of a product performance profile. Realistic in vitro deposition models extend that profile toward where the plume actually goes, so development decisions rest on mechanism rather than on a pass result.
Join Proveris for a practical, science-led discussion about looking beyond individual tests to understand how the whole drug-delivery system behaves, and how asking the right questions earlier can help build more robust products and development strategies.
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand how formulation, device, actuation and aerosol behaviour combine to determine product performance.
- Identify the questions that help explain how an aerosol travels, where it deposits and what is delivered.
- Understand how early mechanistic characterization can support better development decisions before later-stage testing.
- Explore how this approach applies to emerging challenges including low-GWP formulations, biologics and vaccines.
