    机译 吸入性药物的非故意存储和处理错误的影响：对于治疗等效性考虑这意味着什么？
    摘要：Background: Currently, the equivalence and the substitutability of two inhaled medications are mainly driven by comparability of doses, in vitro performance, therapeutic equivalence and sameness, and handling of the inhalers. The packaging configuration is usually not considered as a factor.Methods: Two capsule-based inhaled tiotropium-containing products that differ by their primary packaging configurations (blister versus bottle) were compared in terms of potential handling and resulting storage errors due to unintentional misuse. Use error scenarios were identified and investigated for both the blister-packaged tiotropium and the bottled tiotropium capsules. The impact of the air exposure resulting from the packaging interaction errors was evaluated in vitro using fine particle dose (FPD) and delivered dose.Results: Numbers of potential errors and criticality in terms of the potential effect impact on the FPD were larger for the bottled product (between 40% and 90% loss on FPD related to initial dose). The loss of FPD could significantly impact the amount of medication that can actually reach the patient's lungs.Conclusion: When considering prescribing an inhaled medication, the specifics of the packaging and the patient's abilities and situation shall be taken into account to minimize possible handling and subsequent dosing errors.

    摘要：Background: Inhaled chemotherapeutics may enhance pulmonary drug exposure to malignant lesions in the lung without substantially contributing to systemic toxicities. The pharmacokinetic profile of inhaled submicron particle paclitaxel (NanoPac®) in healthy rodent plasma and lung tissue is evaluated here to determine administration proof-of-principle.Methods: Healthy male Sprague Dawley rats received paclitaxel in one of three arms: intravenous nab-paclitaxel at 2.9 mg/kg (IVnP), inhaled NanoPac low dose (IHNP-LD) at 0.38 mg/kg, or inhaled NanoPac high dose (IHNP-HD) at 1.18 mg/kg. Plasma and lung tissue paclitaxel concentrations were determined using ultraperformance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry from animals sacrificed at 10 time points ranging up to 2 weeks after administration. Peak concentration (Cmax), apparent residence half-life (T1/2), exposure (AUC(last)), and dose-normalized exposure (AUCD(last)) were determined. Pulmonary histopathology was performed on rats sacrificed at the 336-hour time point.Results: Paclitaxel was detectable and quantifiable in the rat lung for both inhaled NanoPac arms sampled at the final necropsy, 336 hours postadministration. Substantial paclitaxel deposition and retention resulted in an order of magnitude increase in dose-normalized pulmonary exposure over IVnP. Inhaled NanoPac arms had an order of magnitude lower plasma Cmax than IVnP, but followed a similar plasma T1/2 clearance (quantifiable only to 72 hours postadministration). Pulmonary histopathology found all treated animals indistinguishable from treatment-naive rats.Conclusion: In the rodent model, inhaled NanoPac demonstrated substantial deposition and retention of paclitaxel in sampled lung tissue. Further research to determine NanoPac's toxicity profile and potential efficacy as lung cancer therapy is underway.

    摘要：Background: GFF MDI is a glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate fixed-dose combination metered dose inhaler formulated using co-suspension delivery technology. This open-label, single-arm multicenter study () evaluated the accuracy, reliability, and functionality of the GFF MDI AeroCount® dose indicator when used by patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Patients and Methods: The study enrolled subjects (40–80 years of age) with an established clinical history (≥6 months) of COPD, who completed an electronic diary twice daily to record study-drug administration time, the number of actuations used, and pre- and post-dose dose indicator readings. The primary endpoint was the percentage of devices for which the number of subject-reported actuations was consistent (±20 actuations) with the dose indicator-based actuation count (equal to 130 minus the dose indicator reading) at the end of the treatment period (4 weeks). Safety was monitored throughout the study.Results: A total of 138 subjects with moderate-to-very severe COPD (50.7% male; mean [standard deviation (SD)] age 62.1 [8.3] years) were enrolled and treated. Subject-reported actuation count and dose indicator-based actuation counts were consistent for 96.4% (132/137) of devices at the end of the treatment period (4 weeks) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population and for all devices in the per-protocol (PP) population. The mean (SD) dose indicator-based actuation and subject-reported actuation counts in the ITT population (n = 137) were 113.4 (18.9) and 117.0 (19.0), respectively, with a mean (SD) difference of 3.6 (7.9). The mean (SD) dose indicator-based actuation and subject-reported actuation counts in the PP population (n = 112) were 116.8 (8.7) and 119.7 (8.1), respectively. There were no unexpected safety findings.Conclusions: This study supported the accuracy, reliability, and utility of the dose indicator integrated into the GFF MDI device when used by patients with COPD.

    摘要：Background: This study evaluated the antineoplastic and immunostimulatory effects of inhaled (IH) submicron particle paclitaxel (NanoPac®) in an orthotopic non-small cell lung cancer rodent model.Methods: Male nude rats were whole body irradiated, intratracheally instilled with Calu-3 cancer cells and divided into six treatment arms (n = 20 each): no treatment (Group 1); intravenous nab-paclitaxel at 5.0 mg/kg once weekly for 3 weeks (Group 2); IH NanoPac at 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg, once weekly for 4 weeks (Groups 3 and 4), or twice weekly for 4 weeks (Groups 5 and 6). Upon necropsy, left lungs were paraffin embedded, serially sectioned, and stained for histopathological examination. A subset was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC), anti-pan cytokeratin staining AE1/AE3+ tumor cells and CD11b+ staining dendritic cells, natural killer lymphocytes, and macrophage immune cells (n = 2, Group 1; n = 3 each for Groups 2–6). BCL-6 staining identified B lymphocytes (n = 1 in Groups 1, 2, and 6).Results: All animals survived to scheduled necropsy, exhibited no adverse clinical observations due to treatment, and gained weight at the same rate throughout the study. Histopathological evaluation of Group 1 lung samples was consistent with unabated tumor growth. Group 2 exhibited regression in 10% of animals (n = 2/20). IH NanoPac-treated groups exhibited significantly higher tumor regression incidence per group (n = 11–13/20; p < 0.05, χ2). IHC subset analysis revealed tumor-nodule cluster separation, irregular borders between tumor and non-neoplastic tissue, and an increased density of infiltrating CD11b+ cells in Group 2 animals (n = 2/3) and in all IH NanoPac-treated animals reviewed (n = 3/3 per group). A single animal in Group 4 and Group 6 exhibited signs of pathological complete response at necropsy with organizing stroma and immune cells replacing areas presumed to have previously contained adenocarcinoma nodules.Conclusion: Tumor regression and immune cell infiltration were observed in all treatment groups, with an increased incidence noted in animals receiving IH submicron particle paclitaxel treatment.

    摘要：Background: The Easyhaler® device-metered dry powder inhaler containing Salmeterol and Fluticasone propionate (S/F) has been developed for the treatment of patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We report two studies which evaluated the in vitro flow rate dependence of delivered dose (DD) and fine particle dose (FPD) of S/F Easyhaler versus Seretide Diskus®.Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessed inspiratory flow parameters of S/F Easyhaler and Seretide Diskus in subgroups of patients with asthma (children, adolescents and adults, and elderly) and in COPD patients. The 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile airflow rates were determined and utilized in vitro, to evaluate flow rate dependence of DD and FPD. Flow rate dependence was evaluated relative to the result obtained at the 50th percentile and any values deviating from 100% indicated flow rate dependence. The volumetric flow rate dependence (Q) index derived from FPD at 10th and 90th percentile airflows was also evaluated.Results: Overall, 227 patients were enrolled and randomized; 216 completed the RCT. In total, 55.5% of patients were female, and the mean age was 46.3 years. Clinically relevant airflow rates (46, 68, and 85 L/min for S/F Easyhaler and 44, 71, and 96 L/min for Seretide Diskus) were carried forward into the in vitro study, which demonstrated similar flow rate dependence of DD and FPD for S/F Easyhaler compared with Seretide Diskus; all values were within ±15% limits across the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile airflow rates. Q index results suggested that both S/F Easyhaler and Seretide Diskus are medium airflow-dependent products.Conclusions: Similar in vitro flow rate dependence of DD and FPD was demonstrated for S/F Easyhaler compared with Seretide Diskus, across a range of clinically relevant airflow rates, collected from patients with asthma and COPD.

    机译 使用NEXThaler®装置在健康受试者，哮喘患者和COPD患者中进行干粉固定联合贝酸氯米松双丙酸酯联合富马酸福莫特罗的肺沉积
    摘要：Background: This study evaluated the lung deposition and the distribution pattern in the airways of a fixed combination of beclometasone dipropionate (BDP) and formoterol fumarate (FF) (100/6 μg) delivered as an extrafine dry powder formulation (mass median aerodynamic diameter, MMAD (μm) BDP = 1.5; FF = 1.4) through the NEXThaler® device in healthy subjects, asthmatics, and patients with COPD.Methods: Healthy subjects (n = 10), asthmatic patients (n = 9; 30%≤FEV1 < 80%), and COPD patients (n = 9; FEV1/FVC ≤70%, 30%≤FEV1 < 50%) completed this open-label, single administration (inhalation of four actuations) parallel group study. After inhalation of 99mTc-radiolabeled BDP/FF combination (radiolabeled BDP + unlabeled FF), the drug deposition was assessed using a gamma-scintigraphy technique. Patients' lung function was assessed.Results: No significant difference in drug deposition was observed between the three study groups. Mean lung deposition, extrathoracic deposition, and amount exhaled ranged, respectively, between 54.9% and 56.2%, between 41.8% and 43.2%, and between 1.6% and 3.3% of BDP emitted dose (71.7 ± 2.5 μg) for the three study groups. The central to peripheral ratio (reflecting the lung distribution pattern) ranged between 1.23 and 2.02 for the three study groups, indicating a distribution of the drug throughout the airways, including periphery. The study treatment produced a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) increase over time, reaching a maximum improvement generally within 1–4 hours.Conclusions: The fixed extrafine dry powder combination BDP/FF (100/6 μg) administered through the DPI NEXThaler® achieved similar intrapulmonary deposition in healthy subjects, in asthmatic patients, and COPD patients (approximately 55% of emitted dose) irrespective of the underlying lung disease with a negligible amount of exhaled particles. The study showed high reliability of the device, reproducible dosing, and distribution throughout the lungs. The results supported the concept of efficient delivery of the combination to the target pulmonary regions, thanks to the extrafine formulation. FEV1 profile confirmed a relevant pharmacodynamic effect of the product.

    摘要：Introduction: Manual analysis of two-dimensional (2D) scintigraphy to evaluate aerosol deposition is usually subjective and has reduced sensitivity to quantify regional differences between central and distal airways.Aims: (1) To present a method to analyze 2D scans based on three-dimensional (3D)-linked anatomically consistent regions of interest (ROIs); (2) to evaluate peripheral-to-central counts ratio (P/C2D) and penetration indices (PIs) for a set of 16 subjects with moderate-to-severe asthma; and (3) to compare the reproducibility of this method against one with manually traced ROIs.Methods: Two-dimensional scans were analyzed using custom software that scaled onto 2D-projections' 3D anatomical features, obtained from population-averaged computed tomography (CT) chest scans. ROIs for a rectangular box (bROI) and an anatomically shaped ROI (aROI) were defined by computer and by manually tracing the standard rectangular box (manual ROI [mROI]). These ROIs were defined five nonconsecutive times for each scan and average value and variability of the P/C2D were estimated. Based on CT estimates of lung and airways, volumes lying under the bROI and aROI, a 2D penetration index (PI2D) and a 3D penetration index (PI3D), were defined as volume-normalized ratios of aerosol deposition in central and peripheral ROIs and in central and distal airways, respectively.Results: P/C2D values and their variability, were influenced by the shape and method to define the ROIs: The P/C2D was systematically greater and more variable for mROI versus bROI (p < 0.005). The P/C2D for aROI was higher and its variability lower than those for the bROI (p < 0.001). The PI2D was in average the same for aROI and bROI, and is substantially (∼30 × ) greater than PI3D (p < 0.001). Both PI2D and PI3D, obtained with our analysis, compared well with literature values obtained with two scans (deposition and volume).Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that 2D scintigraphy can be analyzed using anatomically based ROIs from 3D CT data, allowing objective and enhanced reproducibility values describing the distribution pattern of radioaerosol deposition in the tracheobronchial tree.

    摘要：Background: Using planar gamma scintigraphy of inhaled radioaerosols, we have developed new analytical methods for assessing homogeneity of aerosol deposition and time-dependent particle clearance on a pixel-by-pixel basis, and applied them to a therapeutic cystic fibrosis (CF) study.Methods: At baseline and 1 month after beginning treatment with ivacaftor, a cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator modulator for CF patients with at least one copy of the G551D mutation (n = 13), initial deposition and subsequent mucociliary clearance (MCC) of radiolabeled particles (99mTechnetium-sulfur colloid, 5 μm mass median aerodynamic diameter) inhaled under controlled breathing conditions were measured.Results: Improved homogeneity of deposition, that is, decreased areas of higher and lower particle deposition in the lungs, was observed following ivacaftor treatment. The mean number ratio (NR) of pixels with higher deposition, relative to lung size, decreased from 0.14 to 0.09 (p = 0.003) and mean NR of colder pixels decreased from 0.23 to 0.19 (p = 0.004). Particle clearance was also improved following treatment, with mean MCC through 60 minutes equal to 12% versus 24%, without and with treatment, respectively (p = 0.010). Pixel-level analysis of MCC showed that (1) the fraction of pixels clearing >30% at 60 minutes was increased from 0.13 to 0.32 (p = 0.007); and (2) the fraction of pixels clearing <5% at 60 minutes was decreased from 0.54 to 0.37 (p = 0.014), indicating an overall recruitment of more fast-clearing lung regions with ivacaftor treatment.Conclusion: These detailed pixel analyses of deposition and clearance homogeneity may supplement traditional methods that use large regions of interest for assessing efficacy and mechanisms of therapeutic intervention in patients with airways disease.

    【2hr】Aerosolizing Lipid Dispersions Enables Antibiotic Transport Across Mimics of the Lung Airway Surface Even in the Presence of Pre-existing Lipid Monolayers

    摘要：Background: Secondary lung infections are the primary cause of morbidity associated with cystic fibrosis lung disease. Aerosolized antibiotic inhalation is potentially advantageous but has limited effectiveness due to altered airway aerodynamics and deposition patterns that limit drug access to infected regions. One potential strategy to better reach infected areas is to formulate aerosols with surfactants that induce surface tension gradients and drive postdeposition drug dispersal via Marangoni transport along the airway surface liquid (ASL). Since this relies on surfactant-induced surface tension reduction, the presence of endogenous lipid monolayers may hinder drug dispersal performance.Methods: Tobramycin solutions were formulated with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), a major component of endogenous pulmonary surfactant, to drive postdeposition aerosol dispersal across a model ASL based on a liquid layer or “subphase” of aqueous porcine gastric mucin (PGM) solution with predeposited DPPC monolayers to mimic the endogenous surfactant. In vitro subphase samples were collected from regions outside the aerosol deposition zone and assayed for tobramycin concentration using a closed enzyme donor immunoassay. The motion of a tracking bead across the subphase surface and the corresponding decrease in surface tension on aerosol deposition were tracked both with and without a predeposited DPPC monolayer. The surface tension/area isotherm for DPPC on PGM solution subphase was measured to aid in the interpretation of the tobramycin dispersal behavior.Results and Conclusions: Transport of tobramycin away from the deposition region occurs in aerosols formulated with DPPC whether or not predeposited lipid is present, and tobramycin concentrations are similar in both cases across biologically relevant length scales (∼8 cm). When DPPC is deposited from an aerosol, it induces ultralow surface tensions (<5 mN/m), which drive Marangoni flows, even in the presence of a dense background layer of DPPC. Therefore, aerosolized phospholipids, such as DPPC, will likely be effective spreading agents in the human lung.

    摘要：As an emerging inhalational exposure, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have rapidly gained public awareness with increasing use among adolescents and adults, leading to increased primary use by adolescents and increased secondhand exposure to emissions in infants, children, and adolescents. Although the long-term health risks for primary use and secondhand emission exposure are unknown, limited data from animal studies suggest that there is the potential for long-term lung injury and altered neurocognitive development in children with exposure to nicotine-containing aerosols. In this pediatric-focused review, we discuss the history of e-cigarettes, the demographics of adolescent users, effects on health, and current legislative efforts to protect infants, children, and adolescents from exposure.

    摘要：Background: Easyhaler® dry powder inhaler (DPI) containing salmeterol and fluticasone propionate was developed for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Three different Salmeterol/fluticasone Easyhaler test products (Orion Pharma, Finland) were compared against the reference product Seretide® Diskus® DPI (GlaxoSmithKline, United Kingdom) to study whether any of the test products are bioequivalent with the reference.Methods: Open and randomized pharmacokinetic four-period crossover study on 65 healthy volunteers was performed in a single center to compare the lung deposition and total systemic exposure of salmeterol and fluticasone propionate after administration of single doses (two inhalations of 50/500 μg/inhalation strength) in fasting conditions. Blood samples were drawn before dosing and at frequent time points between 2 minutes and 34 hours after dosing for determination of drug concentrations. The primary variables for total systemic exposure and lung deposition of fluticasone propionate were maximum concentration of the concentration–time curve (Cmax) and area under the concentration–time curve from time zero to the last sample with quantifiable concentration (AUCt). For salmeterol, the primary variables for total systemic exposure were Cmax and AUCt and for lung deposition Cmax and AUC up to 30 minutes after study treatment administration (AUC30min).Results: One of the Easyhaler test products met all the criteria for bioequivalence with the reference. The 96.7% confidence intervals (CIs) for the test/reference ratios of fluticasone propionate Cmax and AUCt were 0.9901–1.1336 and 0.9448–1.0542, respectively. Ninety percent CIs for salmeterol Cmax, AUC30min, and AUCt ratios were 1.0567–1.2012, 1.0989–1.2255, and 1.0769–1.1829, respectively. Median salmeterol time to maximum concentration (tmax) was 4.0 minutes. Median fluticasone propionate tmax was from 1.5 to 2.0 hours. Terminal elimination half-life was 11 hours for salmeterol and 9–10 hours for fluticasone propionate.Conclusions: Salmeterol/fluticasone Easyhaler was shown to be bioequivalent with the reference product.

    【2hr】Development of an Inline Dry Powder Inhaler That Requires Low Air Volume

    机译 需要低风量的在线干粉吸入器的开发
    摘要：Background: Inline dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are actuated by an external air source and have distinct advantages for delivering aerosols to infants and children, and to individuals with compromised lung function or who require ventilator support. However, current inline DPIs either perform poorly, are difficult to operate, and/or require large volumes (∼1 L) of air. The objective of this study was to develop and characterize a new inline DPI for aerosolizing spray-dried formulations with powder masses of 10 mg and higher using a dispersion air volume of 10 mL per actuation that is easy to load (capsule-based) and operate.Methods: Primary features of the new low air volume (LV) DPIs are fixed hollow capillaries that both pierce the capsule and provide a continuous flow path for air and aerosol passing through the device. Two different configurations were evaluated, which were a straight-through (ST) device, with the inlet and outlet capillaries on opposite ends of the capsule, and a single-sided (SS) device, with both the inlet and outlet capillaries on the same side of the capsule. The devices were operated with five actuations of a 10 mL air syringe using an albuterol sulfate (AS) excipient-enhanced growth (EEG) formulation. Device emptying and aerosol characteristics were evaluated for multiple device outlet configurations.Results: Each device had specific advantages. The best case ST device produced the smallest aerosol [mean mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) = 1.57 μm; fine particle fraction <5 μm (FPF<5μm) = 95.2%)] but the mean emitted dose (ED) was 61.9%. The best case SS device improved ED (84.8%), but produced a larger aerosol (MMAD = 2.13 μm; FPF<5μm = 89.3%) that was marginally higher than the initial deaggregation target.Conclusions: The new LV-DPIs produced an acceptable high-quality aerosol with only 10 mL of dispersion air per actuation and were easy to load and operate. This performance should enable application in high and low flow mechanical ventilation systems and high efficiency lung delivery to both infants and children.

    摘要：Background: CVT-301, an inhaled levodopa (LD) formulation, is under development for relief of OFF periods in Parkinson's disease (PD). Previously, we reported that CVT-301 improved OFF symptoms relative to placebo. In this study, we evaluate pulmonary function in patients treated with a single dose of CVT-301 or placebo for 3 hours, or received multiple doses/day for 4 weeks.Methods: As part of two phase 2 studies, pulmonary safety and tolerability of CVT-301 were evaluated in PD patients experiencing motor fluctuations (≥2 hours OFF/day), Hoehn and Yahr stage 1–3, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity ratio ≥75% of predicted (in ON state). In study A, patients received single doses of oral carbidopa/LD and each of the following via the inhaled route: placebo and 25 and 50 mg LD fine particle dose (FPD) CVT-301. In study B, patients received up to 3 inhaled doses/day of 35 mg (weeks 1–2) and 50 mg LD FPD CVT-301 (weeks 3–4) versus placebo. Assessments included spirometry and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).Results: In study A, (n = 24) mean age ± standard deviation was 61.3 ± 7.4 years, mean time since diagnosis was 10.5 ± 4.6 years, and mean duration of LD treatment 8.4 ± 3.7 years. Assessment of pulmonary function (predose to 3 hours postdose) showed that spirometry findings were within normal ranges, regardless of treatment groups, or motor status at screening. In study B, (n = 86) mean age was 62.4 ± 8.7 years, time since PD diagnosis was 9.4 ± 3.9 years, and duration of LD treatment 7.8 ± 3.9 years. Longitudinal assessment of pulmonary function over 4 weeks showed no significant difference in spirometry between CVT-301 versus placebo groups. In both studies, the most common CVT-301 TEAE was mild-to-moderate cough (study A: 21%; study B: 7% vs. 2% in placebo). Other common TEAEs in study B were dizziness and nausea.Conclusion: Acute and longitudinal assessment of pulmonary function showed that CVT-301 treatment was not associated with acute airflow obstruction in this population. CVT-301 was generally safe and well tolerated.

    摘要：Background: Glycopyrrolate administered by a novel, investigational eFlow® Closed System (CS) nebulizer (eFlow CS) is being evaluated for the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The eFlow CS is a hand-held, vibrating membrane nebulizer optimized to deliver 1 mL of glycopyrrolate solution into the lung in <3 minutes. Clinical studies have shown improvements in lung function of subjects treated with nebulized glycopyrrolate.Methods: The aerosol performance of the eFlow CS nebulizer was characterized by delivered dose, aerodynamic droplet size distribution and nebulization time. Simulated use nebulizer performance over 60 days was assessed by volume median diameter (VMD), nebulized amount, and nebulization time. Nebulization outputs were assayed to ensure adequate delivery of glycopyrrolate with an acceptable impurity profile. Aerosol condensates were analyzed for glycopyrrolate concentration and impurities by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and compared with non-nebulized samples.Results: The mean mass median aerodynamic diameter, geometric standard deviation, and fine particle fraction were 3.7 μm, 1.7, and 72%, respectively, and independent of formulation strength (25 and 50 μg/mL). Delivered dose was 88% of the nominal dose for both formulation strengths. The mean delivered dose, assessed by breathing simulation, was 56.8% for 25 μg/mL and 62.6% for 50 μg/mL. Nebulization times were 1–2.5 minutes with no apparent increasing trend with use over a 60-day period. The nebulized amount showed no significant changes, whereas the VMD showed a slight, but not pharmaceutically relevant, increase (0.1–0.2 μm) after 60-day simulated use. Glycopyrrolate concentration and impurity levels of nebulized samples were statistically similar to those of non-nebulized samples.Conclusion: The eFlow CS generates glycopyrrolate aerosols with high delivered dose, short treatment time, and small droplet size with narrow size distribution suitable for central and peripheral airway deposition. The unit dose vial mitigates medication misuse and ensures dose uniformity. Results support the use of glycopyrrolate/eFlow CS for the treatment of COPD.

    摘要：Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease characterized by irreversible dilation of the bronchi, symptoms of persistent cough and expectoration, and recurrent infective exacerbations. The prevalence of NCFBE is on the increase in the United States and Europe, but no licensed therapies are currently available for its treatment. Although there are many similarities between NCFBE and cystic fibrosis (CF) in terms of respiratory symptoms, airway microbiology, and disease progression, there are key differences, for example, in response to treatment, suggesting differences in pathogenesis. This review discusses possible reasons underlying differences in response to inhaled antibiotics in people with CF and NCFBE. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are associated with the most severe forms of bronchiectasis. Suboptimal levels of antibiotics in the lung increase the mutation frequency of P. aeruginosa and lead to the development of mucoid strains characterized by formation of a protective polysaccharide biofilm. Mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa are associated with a chronic infection stage, requiring long-term antibiotic therapy. Inhaled antibiotics provide targeted delivery to the lung with minimal systemic toxicity and adverse events compared with oral/intravenous routes of administration, and they could be alternative treatment options to help address some of the treatment challenges in the management of severe cases of NCFBE. This review provides an overview of completed and ongoing trials that evaluated inhaled antibiotic therapy for NCFBE. Recently, several investigators conducted phase 3 randomized controlled trials with inhaled aztreonam and ciprofloxacin in patients with NCFBE. While the aztreonam trial results were not associated with significant clinical benefit in NCFBE, initial results reported from the inhaled ciprofloxacin (dry powder for inhalation and liposome-encapsulated/dual-release formulations) trials hold promise. A more targeted approach could identify specific populations of NCFBE patients who benefit from inhaled antibiotics.

    摘要：The 21st Congress for the International Society for Aerosols in Medicine included, for the first time, a session on Pulmonary Delivery of Therapeutic and Diagnostic Gases. The rationale for such a session within ISAM is that the pulmonary delivery of gaseous drugs in many cases targets the same therapeutic areas as aerosol drug delivery, and is in many scientific and technical aspects similar to aerosol drug delivery. This article serves as a report on the recent ISAM congress session providing a synopsis of each of the presentations. The topics covered are the conception, testing, and development of the use of nitric oxide to treat pulmonary hypertension; the use of realistic adult nasal replicas to evaluate the performance of pulsed oxygen delivery devices; an overview of several diagnostic gas modalities; and the use of inhaled oxygen as a proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent for imaging temporal changes in the distribution of specific ventilation during recovery from bronchoconstriction. Themes common to these diverse applications of inhaled gases in medicine are discussed, along with future perspectives on development of therapeutic and diagnostic gases.

    【2hr】Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Implications for Dry Powder Inhalers

    摘要：Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the United States with a significant economic burden related to hospital admissions for exacerbations. One of the primary treatment modalities for COPD is medications delivered through breath-actuated dry powdered inhalers (DPIs). For users to successfully receive inhaled medication, they must inhale with enough flow to overcome the internal resistance of the device, leading to deaggregation of the medication powder. Peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) is the maximal flow rate obtained during an inspiratory maneuver. PIFR measurement can be impacted by the internal resistance of the device, which varies with device design. Many devices require a PIFR >60 L/min for adequate medication dispersal, while others appear to have adequate drug deaggregation with a PIFR >30 L/min. Studies have shown PIFRs are reduced among females and decrease with age, without a clear correlation between forced expiratory volume in 1 second and PIFR. PIFR can be reduced at the time of COPD exacerbation. Recent data suggest that reduced PIFR may be associated with worse COPD-related symptom burden, increased odds of COPD-related hospital readmissions, and improved responsiveness to nebulized therapy. This review article aims to examine the physiology and clinical correlations of PIFR, as well as review published studies related to PIFR with DPIs used to treat COPD.

    【2hr】Factors Determining In Vitro Lung Deposition of Albuterol Aerosol Delivered by Ventolin Metered-Dose Inhaler

    机译 Ventolin定量吸入器输送的沙丁胺醇气雾剂的体外肺沉积测定因素
    摘要：Background: The effectiveness of metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) in delivering medication to the lungs highly depends on its correct usage technique. Current guidelines state optimal technique for high lung deposition should include a slow inhalation (>5 seconds) at an inspiratory flow rate of 30 L/min and inhaler actuation at the start of inhalation. However, these recommendations were based on clinical studies using CFC (chlorofluorocarbon)-MDIs and in vitro studies of HFA (hydrofluoroalkane)-MDIs using idealized MDI techniques of uniform inhalation and actuation, disregarding the nonuniform techniques of actual patients.Methods: To better understand the effects of time-varying MDI usage parameters on lung deposition of aerosol delivered by an HFA-MDI, we conducted an in vitro study modeled on real-life variable inspiratory flow and actuation techniques recorded from 15 subjects with asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We developed a model representing the time-varying inspiratory flow waveforms and actuation timings based on 43 MDI techniques recorded from patients. Furthermore, we constructed an in vitro experimental setup using a mouth–throat cast, programmable MDI actuator, and breath simulator to evaluate lung deposition for the MDI techniques derived from our model.Results: High inspiratory flow rates, 60–90 L/min, consistently resulted in high in vitro lung deposition (>40%) of aerosol (albuterol delivered from Ventolin HFA-MDI) compared to 30 L/min when MDI actuation occurred in the first half of inhalation. Also, positive coordination resulted in higher in vitro lung deposition compared with negative or zero coordination (actuating before or at the start of inspiration). Furthermore, variation in coordination affected lung deposition more significantly (23%) than flow rate or duration of inspiration (≤5%).Conclusions: In an in vitro experimental model based on inhalation data from patients with asthma and COPD, we demonstrated that aerosol lung deposition emitted from Ventolin HFA-MDI is most optimal for MDI actuation in the first half of inspiration at high flow rates (60–90 L/min).

    摘要：Background: Aerosol delivery of chemotherapeutic nanocarriers represents a promising alternative for lung cancer therapy. This study optimized gemcitabine (Gem)-loaded gelatin nanocarriers (GNCs) cross-linked with genipin (Gem-GNCs) to evaluate their potential for nebulized lung cancer treatment.Methods: Gem-GNCs were prepared by two-step desolvation and optimized through Taguchi design and characterized for physicochemical properties. Particle size and morphology were confirmed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. In vitro release of Gem from Gem-GNCs performed in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline and simulated lung fluid was evaluated to determine release mechanisms. Particle size stability was assessed under varying pH. Differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction were used to determine the presence and stability of Gem-GNC components and amorphization of Gem, respectively. Gem-GNC efficacy within A549 and H460 cells was evaluated using MTT assays. Mucus rheology upon treatment with Gem-GNCs, lactose, and normal saline control was measured. Andersen cascade impaction identified the aerodynamic particle size distribution of the nebulized formulation.Results: Gem-GNCs had particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and loading efficiency of 178 ± 7.1 nm, −18.9 mV, 92.5%, and 9.1%, respectively. The Gem and formulation excipients where molecularly dispersed and configured amorphously. Gem-GNCs were stable at pH 5.4–7.4 for 72 hours. Gem release from Gem-GNCs was governed by non-Fickian controlled release due to diffusion/erosion from a matrix-based nanocarrier. Gem-GNCs elicited a 40% reduction of the complex viscosity η*(1 Hz) of human bronchial epithelial cell mucus containing 3 wt% solids to mimic mild airway disease. The nebulized Gem-GNCs had a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of 2.0 ± 0.16 μm, geometric standard deviation (GSD) of 2.7 ± 0.16, and fine particle fraction (FPF) of 75.2% ± 2.4%. The Gem-GNC formulation did not outperform the Gem solution in A549 cells. However, in H460, Gem-GNCs outperformed the Gem IC50 reduction by ∼5-fold at 48 and 10-fold 72 hours.Conclusion: Stable, effective, and sustained-release Gem-GNCs were developed. The nebulized Gem-GNCs had satisfactory MMAD, GSD, and FPF and the formulation reduced the dynamic complex viscosity of mucus consistent with increased mobility of nanoparticles.
