In Vitro Analysis of Nasal Interface Options for High-Efficiency Aerosol Administration to Preterm Infants

Connor Howe et al.

Summary: Modifications to the nasal interface of an infant air-jet DPI were found to improve aerosol delivery performance, particularly in preterm nasal-throat models. By using a rigid curved prong and adding a metal mesh to dissipate turbulent jet, lung delivery efficiency was increased while nasal-throat deposition was reduced. The platform performed similarly in two different preterm airway models, with no statistically significant difference observed in performance metrics.

Initial Development of an Air-Jet Dry Powder Inhaler for Rapid Delivery of Pharmaceutical Aerosols to Infants

Connor Howe et al.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a positive-pressure air-jet DPI platform for high-efficiency aerosol delivery to newborn infants via the nose-to-lung route. Designs with the best aerosolization performance were connected to a smoothly expanding nasal interface and full-term infant nose-throat (NT) model with tracheal filter, achieving >80% emitted dose of loaded dose and desired mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD). In vitro testing showed that the associated infant air-jet DPI system could rapidly and efficiently deliver aerosol to infant lungs.

Development and Characterization of Excipient Enhanced Growth (EEG) Surfactant Powder Formulations for Treating Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Susan Boc et al.

Summary: This study developed and characterized a spray-dried powder aerosol formulation of a commercially available surfactant formulation, Survanta (R) intratracheal suspension, using the excipient enhanced growth (EEG) approach. The inclusion of l-leucine in the formulation significantly reduced primary particle size and increased the fraction of submicrometer particles, resulting in good aerosolization performance with low moisture content.

Performance of Low Air Volume Dry Powder Inhalers (LV-DPI) when Aerosolizing Excipient Enhanced Growth (EEG) Surfactant Powder Formulations

Susan Boc et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop an efficient dry powder inhaler (DPI) capable of delivering spray-dried Survanta-EEG powders with low volumes of dispersion air. Through iterative design modifications, an optimized DPI was achieved with a powder chamber volume of 0.21 mL, straight through airflow path, three 0.60 mm air inlet holes, and a 90 mm outlet delivery tube. The optimal device demonstrated consistent aerosol performance independent of fill mass, emitting 5.3 mg of powder at a fill mass of 10 mg. With micronized albuterol sulfate, the optimal DPI emitted over 72% of the nominal fill mass in one 3 mL actuation.

Advancement of the Infant Air-Jet Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI): Evaluation of Different Positive-Pressure Air Sources and Flow Rates

Connor Howe et al.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the delivery of dry powder aerosol formulations to infants' lungs using an infant air-jet platform. Different air sources, flow rates, and pulmonary mechanics were explored, with the D1-Single air-jet DPI showing improved performance across various air sources. Lowering the flow rate increased lung delivery efficiency, unaffected by downstream pulmonary mechanics.
