The Journey of Inhalation Pharmaceutical Development: Inspiration, Innovation and Perseverance
David Cipolla, PhD
(Insmed Incorporated)
It may come as a surprise that many of the early therapies developed to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were initially given orally or by injection and were later repositioned as inhaled products. This includes epinephrine, corticosteroids and the selective beta-2 agonists. In hindsight, the rationale for this change in delivery format appears obvious. Very little of the dose administered orally or by injection typically reaches the lung; thus, higher doses must be administered to be effective. Pharmaceutical development rarely follows the linear path that was originally outlined, and the target product profile often changes due to external factors or internal challenges. This presentation will focus on the surprises that arise in development and how perseverance, inspiration, and innovation are required to achieve the goal of product approval.
