Inhalation Services – Nanopharm
Nanopharm’s specialized CRO services are dedicated to advancing the development of intranasal and inhaled drug products. As OINDP products are very complex to develop, specialized tools and knowledge are required to efficiently advance new products, while minimizing risks for their development. Nanopharm achieves this with experienced OINDP scientists, modern facilities, leading-edge technologies and scientific approaches you won’t find elsewhere. Our development services support a wide range of devices including dry powder inhalers (DPIs), pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs), as well as liquid and powder nasal spray devices.
Our proprietary SmartTrack™ platform uses a range of in vitro in silico models and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) computational simulations to demonstrate bioequivalence of inhaled generic products with their reference products. And all without the need for costly or time consuming comparative clinical endpoint (CCEP) studies.
Nanopharm’s labs provide cGMP services to support IVBE and CMC requirements as well as product release for reliable and compliant testing and validation. We offer the specialized capability to characterize nasal suspension generic drug products using Nanopharm’s Morphologically-Directed Raman Spectroscopy (MDRS) system for simultaneous morphology imaging comparisons and chemical analysis of complex multi-component formulations.
Nanopharm also provides its spray drying and particle engineering expertise to optimize powders for intranasal and
respiratory Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) products. As OINDP development specialists we offer our extensive regulatory experience to customers through world-class consultancy services, ensuring product development is derisked and accelerated to get your product to market.
