Biologic therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Maria Gabriella Matera et al.

Summary: No mAb directed against cytokines or chemokines has shown therapeutic impact in COPD patients, except for mAbs targeting the IL-5 pathway which have a weak effect in patients with eosinophilic COPD. This reflects the complexity of COPD where no single cytokine or chemokine plays a dominant role. Therefore, mAbs targeting specific cytokines or chemokines should be evaluated in limited and focused populations.

Solid-State NMR Characterization of Lyophilized Formulations of Monoclonal Antibody Therapeutics

Jacqueline Perodeau et al.

Summary: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an important and growing class of biotherapeutic drugs. Solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides reliable and high-resolution characterization of the higher-order structure (HOS) of mAbs in aqueous-based preparations. However, techniques for the solid-state characterization of HOS in solid mAb preparations are limited. This study proposes the use of solid-state NMR (ssNMR) fingerprinting to directly inform on the HOS of solid-phase mAb preparations.

Delivering monoclonal antibodies via inhalation: a systematic review of clinical trials in asthma and COPD

Rossella Laitano et al.

Summary: This article evaluates the potential role of delivering monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) via inhalation in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) through a systematic review of randomized control trials (RCTs). Compared to systemic administration, delivering mAbs via inhalation offers faster onset of action, greater efficacy at lower doses, minimal systemic exposure, and lower risk of adverse events. However, the delivery of mAbs via inhalation remains challenging and controversial, and further well-designed RCTs are needed to assess their potential role in asthma and COPD treatment.

A multiplex inhalation platform to model in situ like aerosol delivery in a breathing lung-on-chip

Arunima Sengupta et al.

Summary: Prolonged exposure to environmental respirable toxicants can lead to the development and worsening of severe respiratory diseases. In order to better predict the toxicity of inhaled particles, alternative in vitro human-relevant models are being used. The Cloud a AX12 model, consisting of a cloud-based exposure chamber (VITROCELL) and a lung-on-chip system (AlveoliX), provides a mechanistic approach for studying inhalation toxicity risks. This state-of-the-art pre-clinical tool allows for the study of air-liquid interface and cyclic stretch culture conditions on the air-blood barrier sensitivity, cytotoxicity, and inflammation.

Summary: Lungs are vital organs involved in gas exchange and are directly affected by allergens, inflammatory mediators, and pathogens. The immune system in the lungs plays a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis. Imbalances and dysregulations in the immune responses can lead to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This review focuses on the immunology of the lungs, advancements in therapies, and the impact of inhalation devices in managing lung diseases.

Monoclonal antibodies for prophylaxis and therapy of respiratory syncytial virus, SARS-CoV-2, human immunodeficiency virus, rabies and bacterial infections: an update from the World Association of Infectious Diseases and Immunological Disorders and the Italian Society of Antinfective Therapy

Susanna Esposito et al.

Summary: Monoclonal antibodies (mABs) are effective and safe proteins produced in the laboratory that target specific epitopes of viruses or bacterial pathogens. In this paper, the characteristics of licensed and advanced-stage developed mABs for prophylaxis and therapy of infectious diseases are discussed. While mABs have shown efficacy in treating infections, their greater effectiveness lies in prevention and early post-exposure treatment. In the absence of vaccines for many infectious diseases, mABs can be an attractive option, especially in emergency situations and when facing multidrug-resistant strains.

Strategies to Overcome Biological Barriers Associated with Pulmonary Drug Delivery

Adam J. Plaunt et al.

Summary: While inhalation route has been used for pharmacologic effect, it posed challenges for treating lung disease until sophisticated device and formulation technologies emerged. Now, there are several inhalation device technologies that efficiently deliver therapeutics to the lung and avoid excessive deposition elsewhere. Formulation technologies and drug chemistry modifications have also emerged to overcome degradation and clearance mechanisms, improve tolerability, or facilitate intracellular uptake.

Summary: Monoclonal antibody-based therapies have the potential to be a valuable treatment modality for acute and chronic lung diseases. Direct delivery to the lungs via inhalation can provide higher drug concentrations at the site of disease with reduced off-target effects. However, there is limited understanding of the impact of particle engineering processes on the stability and performance of dry powder inhaler formulations of monoclonal antibodies.

Aggregation of Lactoferrin Caused by Droplet Atomization Process via a Two-Fluid Nozzle: The Detrimental Effect of Air-Water Interfaces

Huy M. Dao et al.

Summary: Biological macromolecules, especially therapeutic proteins, are sensitive to denaturation during the manufacturing of dosage forms. This study compared the effects of droplet formation mechanisms in thin-film freeze-drying (TFFD) and spray freeze-drying (SFD) on protein stability using lactoferrin as a model. It found that the spraying process had a more negative impact on the tertiary structure of proteins, resulting in conformational changes. Additionally, surface-active proteins were more prone to aggregation compared to non-surface-active proteins. The interfacial-induced denaturation during spraying was primarily influenced by the size of atomized droplets.

Summary: Inhaled drugs play a crucial role in treating lung pathologies, but difficulties persist in assessing lung concentrations and interpreting their therapeutic action. Understanding the PK/PD relationship is essential for predicting therapeutic effects, but challenges remain due to the complex structure of the lungs and physical interactions with drugs. New methods are improving our understanding of inhaled drugs, but regulatory readiness is still a concern, requiring continued reliance on plasma concentrations as a proxy for lung deposition.
