Abstract

Spray-dried PulmoSphere™ formulations comprise phospholipid-based small, porous particles. Drug(s) may be incorporated in or with PulmoSphere formulations in three formats: solution-, suspension-, and carrier-based systems. The multiple formats may be administered to the respiratory tract with multiple delivery systems, including portable inhalers (pressurized, metered-dose inhaler and dry-powder inhaler), nebulizers, and via liquid dose instillation in conjunction with partial liquid ventilation. The PulmoSphere platform (particles, formats, delivery systems) enables pulmonary delivery of a broad range of drugs independent of their physicochemical properties and lung dose. The engineered particles provide significant improvements in lung targeting and dose consistency, relative to current marketed inhalers.
