Optimizing spray-dried liposomes for pulmonary delivery: impact of lipids composition and of drying parameters using experimental design

Article

Author: Sacré, Pierre-Yves ; Evrard, Brigitte ; Conrard, Louise ; Piel, Géraldine ; Hendrickx, Erika ; Bya, Laure-Anne ; Bottero, Benedetta ; Cataldo, Didier ; Dinh, Tuan Nghia ; Lechanteur, Anna ; Penoy, Noémie

Liposomes are promising carriers for pulmonary drug delivery due to their biocompatibility and controlled-release properties. However, their stability in aqueous suspension is limited, leading to aggregation and reduced therapeutic efficiency. Converting liposomal dispersions into dry powders for inhalation (DPIs) is a potential strategy to overcome these limitations. Spray-drying (SD) is particularly attractive for this purpose, offering precise control over particle properties along with speed, cost-efficiency, and scalability. Yet, the thermal and mechanical stresses involved in this process and their effects on liposomal integrity remain poorly understood, limiting its broader application. In this study, we developed a systematic framework integrating Design of Experiments (DOE) with scale-up-oriented processing, combining supercritical fluid technology (PGSS) for liposome formation with subsequent spray-drying of high solid content suspensions. Two complementary DoE approaches were applied: DOE_A optimized drying parameters and carbohydrate type, testing trehalose and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), while DOE_B assessed the effects of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) hydrophobicity, lipid composition (1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-₂₀₀₀ (DSPE-PEG₂₀₀₀) percentage), and carbohydrate-to-liposome ratio. Optimized spray-dried powders exhibited preserved liposome structure (mean diameter < 200 nm, narrow polydispersity index (PdI), near-neutral zeta potential (ZP)), favorable aerodynamic properties (∼3 µm, extra-fine particle fraction (eFPF) > 20% and fine particle fraction (FPF) > 60%), low residual moisture (<5%), and high drying yields (>75%). Mechanistic insights revealed that HPβCD significantly protects liposomes during atomization, while drug retention was governed by PEGylated lipid content, lipid-to-carbohydrate ratio, and API hydrophobicity. Co-encapsulation of clinically relevant drug combinations (formoterol/budesonide and ciclesonide/indacaterol) produced uniform powders with efficient aerosolization, highlighting the therapeutic potential of these formulations. Collectively, these results establish a robust, scalable, and reproducible approach for designing liposomal DPIs, balancing formulation composition, excipient selection, and process parameters. This study demonstrates that strategic integration of scalable technologies can reconcile structural stability, aerodynamic performance, and manufacturability, paving the way for the industrial translation of liposomal dry powders for targeted pulmonary therapies, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Adverse events of inhaled corticosteroids in adult patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: pairwise, network and dose–response meta-analyses

Review

Author: Wang, Guojun ; Peng, Li ; Huang, Yunbei ; Pu, Xiaofeng ; Jiang, Xinrui ; Zhang, Yinhui ; Zhang, Zhengji ; Wang, Maolin ; Xu, Mengyao

Objectives:

This study aimed to evaluate the associations between inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) and adverse events (AEs) in adults with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to explore variations by ICS type and dosage.

Design and setting:

Medline/PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to 20 February 2025. Data extraction and synthesis were performed, estimating risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) or credible intervals (CrI) through pairwise and network meta-analysis (NMA), and an NMA using the Emax model was employed to find the dose–response relationships of the AEs of each ICS. Risk of bias was evaluated across both pairwise and NMAs. The certainty of evidence, based on the GRADE approach, was assessed exclusively for the NMA estimates.

Participants:

Adults diagnosed with asthma or COPD treated with ICSs compared with non-ICS controls or those receiving different types or doses of ICSs.

Main outcome measures:

The primary outcomes were AEs, including pneumonia, oral candidiasis, upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), fracture, diabetes, cataract and plasma cortisol abnormalities. Secondary outcomes included efficacy-related endpoints: asthma exacerbations, COPD exacerbations and all-cause mortality.

Results:

129 trials (120 900 participants) were included. According to pairwise meta-analysis, ICSs were associated with a higher risk of pneumonia (RR 1.49, 95% CI 1.38 to 1.61) and oral candidiasis (RR 2.29, 95% CI 2.01 to 2.60) and with a slightly higher risk of URTI (RR 1.17, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.25), compared with control. Besides, ICSs were linked to a reduced risk of asthma exacerbations (RR 0.30, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.45) and COPD exacerbations (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.86 to 0.94) vs control. The results of the NMA that explored differences by ICS type showed that beclomethasone and fluticasone increased pneumonia risk compared with control, with absolute risk increases of up to 2.3%. Fluticasone also showed a slightly higher pneumonia risk than budesonide. Besides, mometasone, beclomethasone, budesonide and fluticasone were associated with increased risk of oral candidiasis, with the highest increase observed for mometasone (4.3%). In contrast, ciclesonide consistently showed lower risk across comparisons, reducing oral candidiasis by up to 4.5% with other ICSs. Fluticasone modestly increased URTI, while ciclesonide reduced it. Budesonide and mometasone were also associated with a small increase in cataract risk. Most of the outcomes reported here were supported by moderate- to high-certainty evidence. Furthermore, the dose–response relationship estimated from the Emax model indicated significant associations between fluticasone dose and the risks of pneumonia and URTI, between multiple ICS doses and oral candidiasis and between budesonide dose and cataract.

Conclusions:

ICSs are correlated with the escalated risk of pneumonia, oral candidiasis and URTI in adult patients with asthma or COPD, but ICSs could reduce asthma exacerbations and COPD exacerbations. Fluticasone, beclomethasone, budesonide and mometasone are independently linked to certain AEs, and some Emax dose–response relationships are detected.Our findings may help guide individualised ICS use by informing benefit-risk considerations across various formulations and dosing regimens.

Investigating the Challenges of Managing Coexisting Subglottic Stenosis and Bronchopulmonary Diseases Medically Using Computational Modeling

Article

Author: Gao, Kerry ; Luzum, Nathan A. ; Frank‐Ito, Dennis O. ; Cohen, Seth

Abstract:

Objective:

Subglottic stenosis (SGS) coexists with bronchopulmonary disease, complicating topical therapy given the distinct anatomical targets. Optimizing inhaled medication delivery to both regions remain a therapeutic challenge. This study evaluates the ability of orally inhaled aerosol particles to achieve dual‑site deposition in SGS and bronchopulmonary regions.

Study Design:

Computational modeling of orally inhaled drug particle delivery.

Setting:

Academic Medical Center.

Methods:

Digitally modified airways simulating 8 SGS variants, combining McCaffrey Stage I (5 mm) and II (15 mm) subglottic lengths with Cotton‑Myer Grade I (10%, 30%), Grade II (60%), and Grade III (90%) luminal constrictions. Oral inhalation at 15 L/min and particle transport were simulated for fluticasone propionate (FP; mean aerosol velocity 9.19 m/s, particle size range 1‐8 μm) and ciclesonide (CIC; mean aerosol velocity 4.26 m/s, particle size range 1‐4 μm) inhaler characteristics, and 6 particle‑size distributions M 1 (1‐5 μm), M 2 (6‐10 μm), M 3 (1‐10 μm) while maintaining the respective parent (CIC and FP) mean aerosol velocity.

Results:

In the normal airway, CIC and FP inhalers achieved >80% bronchial deposition but ≤0.02% subglottic delivery. Among modified devices, M 2 CIC optimized dual targeting, providing the highest subglottic deposition (0.09%) with preserved bronchial efficiency (69.46%). In SGS models, M 2 CIC and M 2 FP consistently achieved the most balanced delivery, with maximum deposition of M 2 CIC = 8.4% and M 2 FP = 7.86% at subglottic region, and M 2 CIC = 69.89% and M 2 FP = 61.02% at bronchial site. M 3 variants offered intermediate dual deposition at advanced and Grade III stenosis stages.

Conclusion:

M 2 CIC and M 2 FP inhaler modifications optimized dual‐site supporting tailored device strategies for SGS with coexisting bronchopulmonary disease.

Get Relief With the Most Common Asthma Medications

FRIDAY, May 12, 2023 -- Receiving a diagnosis of asthma may be frightening, but learning what the treatment options are can help alleviate the anxiety that comes with diagnosis. Depending on the severity, certain asthma medications may help you manage your symptoms. Here, experts break down the most common long-term and quick-acting medications for asthma, how they work and potential side effects. Long-term medications These drugs are ones the patient takes daily as a means of controlling asthma and preventing asthma attacks. These can be in pill form or used as inhalers. Bronchodilators: Long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA) relax the muscle bands around your airway (bronchi), making it easier to get air in and mucus out. These medications for asthma are taken twice a day through an inhaler and last up to 12 hours, according to the Cleveland Clinic . LABA medications should be given with a corticosteroid. (See combination medications below.) The main side effects of LABA medications are nervous or shaky feelings, hyperactivity, overexcitement, increased heart rate, upset stomach and trouble sleeping. Salmeterol (Serevent) Formoterol (Foradil) Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) also relax the muscle bands around your airway, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) says. This asthma medication is used if the steroid/LABA combination doesn’t give enough relief. Do not use this medication if you have glaucoma or are at risk of urinary retention. Tiotropium bromide (Respimat) Theophylline. While not used often, theophylline can be useful in relaxing the airways and preventing reactions to irritants. It is taken as a pill and used for mild asthma symptoms. You may need to have blood tests drawn on a regular basis to make sure the level of medication is correct, the Mayo Clinic says. Side effects are the same as the other bronchodilators, but may also include chest pain or discomfort, dizziness, fainting, increase in urine volume or seizures. Theophylline (Theo-24, Theo-Dur, Slo-Bid, and others) Corticosteroids: Corticosteroids are steroids that reduce inflammation in the airways, according to the NHLBI. They may be taken as a pill, although very few patients are on the pill for long term. It is frequently used in an inhaler, often combined with a LABA. Side effects from the inhaled form are thrush (a mouth infection) and a hoarse voice. Inhaled corticosteroids include: Fluticasone (Flovent HFA, Arnuity Ellipta, others) Budesonide (Pulmicort Flexhaler) Mometasone (Asmanex Twisthaler) Beclomethasone (Qvar RediHaler) Ciclesonide (Alvesco) Combination asthma medications (Corticosteroid and LABA): Fluticasone and salmeterol (Advair) Budesonide and formoterol (Symbicort) Fluticasone and Vilanterol (Breo) Leukotriene modifiers reduce swelling and help keep your airways open for up to 24 hours. According to Mayo Clinic, these medications block the effects of leukotrienes, immune system chemicals that cause asthma symptoms. Side effects are uncommon, but may include nausea, headache, tiredness or diarrhea. Montelukast (Singulair) Zafirlukast (Accolate) Zileuton (Zyflo) Quick-acting asthma medications These are a group of medications that are used when a patient has a flare-up or an asthma attack. Inhaled short-acting beta2-agonists (SABAs) open the airways so air can flow through them during an asthma attack. They start working within 15 to 20 minutes and continue to work for 4 to 6 hours, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Side effects can include tremors, rapid heartbeat, allergic reactions, muscle pain, worsening breathing, dry mouth, headache, sore throat or trouble sleeping. Inhaled forms of SABA medications include: Albuterol (Ventolin) Levalbuterol (Xopenex) Albuterol and ipratropium bromide combination (DuoNeb) Corticosteroids. Oral corticosteroids are usually prescribed for short-term use to help a patient overcome a flare-up. This type of medication quickly reduces swelling and inflammation in the airways. Side effects include: Cataracts, osteoporosis, weight gain, high blood sugar, increased risk of infections, thinning bones and fractures, thin skin, bruising and slower wound healing, mood swings, depression and aggressive behavior. Prednisone (Deltasone, Prednicot, and others ) Methylprednisolone (Medrol, Solu-Medrol, Depo-Medrol) Short-acting anticholinergic bronchodilators help open the airways quickly. This medicine may be less effective than SABAs, but it is an option for people who experience side effects with other medications, the Cleveland Clinic says. Side effects you may experience with these inhalers are dry throat, eyes and nose; unusual taste; nausea and vomiting; or temporary blurred vision if the medicine gets in your eyes. Ipratropium bromide (Atrovent) Tiotropium bromide (Spiriva Respimat) Corticosteroid reliever. In January 2023, the FDA approved Airsupra, which can be used as needed to prevent bronchoconstriction and asthma attacks. In a study conducted before the approval, the risk of severe asthma exacerbation was significantly lower with a fixed-dose combination of albuterol and budesonide than with as-needed use of albuterol alone. Most common side effects are headache, oral yeast infection, cough, and difficulty speaking. Airsupra (albuterol-budesonide) Posted May 2023

AstraZeneca Purges Two Respiratory Medicines in Big Day for Covis

Bodo Marks/picture alliance via Getty AstraZeneca’s respiratory portfolio is a little lighter as the British-Swiss pharmaceutical behemoth announced the offloading of two chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD drugs) to fellow Swiss player Covis Pharma Group for $270 million. The agreement, announced November 1, involves Eklira (marketed as Tudorza in the U.S.) and Duaklir (marketed as Brimica® in some countries). The acquisition of the medicines – which netted AstraZeneca $143 million in the geographies covered under the agreement – provides a significant boost to Covis’s respiratory portfolio. COPD was the third leading cause of death worldwide in 2019, so the need and market are certainly there. “This acquisition represents a highly strategic and synergistic transaction with AstraZeneca, enabling Covis to offer a full continuum of best-in-class therapies for allergic rhinitis, asthma and COPD,” said Covis Chief Executive Officer Michael Porter in a statement. “As a result of the acquisition, Covis is firmly placed as one of the top 10 respiratory companies in the world.” Under the terms of the agreement, Covis will pay AstraZeneca $270 million upon completion of the deal, which is expected to close in quick order prior to the end of Q4 2021. In addition, Covis will be responsible for ongoing development costs related to the medicines. Eklira is a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), while Duaklir is a combination therapy that contains both a LAMA and a long-acting beta2-agonist. Both are presented as a dry powder for inhalation and delivered through a breath-actuated multi-dose dry powder inhaler called Genuair (Pressair in the US). AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot has made no secret of his intention to steer the company's R&D pipeline to a predominantly oncology focus, and Covis is a repeat partner. In 2018, AstraZeneca divested three Asthma and Rhinitis Drugs to Covis for $350 Million. In this instance, the large multinational sold rights to Alvesco (ciclesonide), which is intended to treat persistent asthma, and Omnaris and Zetonna (ciclesonide), which are aimed at treating nasal symptoms associated with rhinitis. In April, Covis announced disappointing results from a Phase III trial evaluating Alvesco in COVID-19. The results were deemed not statistically significant, though Dr. Michael Blaiss, MD, clinical professor at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University in Augusta, Georgia and a member of the steering committee for the trial said that “further studies may want to look at whether this treatment may prevent or lessen post-acute COVID-19 syndrome.” AstraZeneca also said the deal will enable a sharpening of its focus on priority medicines in the respiratory and immunology space. The company went on to state in its official press release that the agreement “will ensure continued patient access to these established medicines.” With European headquarters in Zug as well as Amsterdam, Covis is a global specialty pharma company that markets therapeutics for patients with life-threatening conditions and chronic illnesses including asthma, COPD and anemia.

COVIS PHARMA GROUP Announces Top-line Safety and Efficacy

ZUG, Switzerland, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Covis Pharma Group (the “Company”), a global specialty pharmaceutical company that markets therapeutic solutions for patients with life-threatening conditions and chronic illnesses, announced today top-line results from a 400 patient phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of ciclesonide metered-dose inhaler in non-hospitalized patients 12 years of age and older with symptomatic COVID-19 infection. The primary endpoint of the study was time to alleviation of COVID-19-related symptoms of cough, dyspnea, chills, feeling feverish, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell, defined as symptom-free for a continuous period of ≥ 24 hours by Day 30. A sub-group analysis showed that time to alleviation of cough was the most improved symptom in the ciclesonide arm compared to the placebo arm by 6 days in 75% of the population. A relevant secondary efficacy endpoint reaching statistical significance (p=0.0301) was the 70% reduction observed in the ciclesonide arm versus 30% in the placebo arm of patients with subsequent emergency department visits or hospital admissions for reasons attributable to COVID-19 by Day 30. There were only a small number (n=10) of total events observed in this study. No new safety signals were identified with ciclesonide 320mcg twice daily for 30 days in the active comparator arm versus placebo. In addition, no new adverse events were reported after 60 days post treatment with ciclesonide. The study randomized 400 patients in a 1:1 ratio to ciclesonide versus placebo. The study demonstrated a treatment difference between ciclesonide (70.6%) and placebo (63.5%) in the percentage of patients with an improved time to alleviation of COVID-19 related symptoms, which was not statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.5502. “We are disappointed the results were not more positive, although there was a trend toward earlier cough cessation in the ciclesonide group. Further studies may want to look at whether this treatment may prevent or lessen post-acute COVID-19 syndrome,” said Michael Blaiss, MD, clinical professor at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University in Augusta, Georgia, a member of the steering committee for the trial.
