This grant is for advancing Quality by Design (QbD) in the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) of orally inhaled drugs, particularly dry powder inhalers (DPIs). Its purpose is to ensure product quality and consistency through rigorous management of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) crystal manufacturing. This involves defining critical quality attributes, understanding their link to micronized material quality, and investigating post-micronization relaxation effects on performance. The research will establish best practices for laagering and quarantining micronized API, optimizing manufacturing to improve drug product variability and efficacy.

| Description: | The project highlights the following important areas in chemistry, manufacturing and controls of dry powder inhaler (DPI) drug products:
-Controlling the manufacturing of API crystals in order to obtain micronized API materials with low variability and consistency; -Defining the critical quality attributes of the API crystals that must be measured and controlled to ensure quality in the final drug product; -Emphasizing the relationship between the properties of the API crystals and the quality of micronized API materials to be in included in the final drug product; -Exploring the effects of post-micronization relaxation of micronized API on product performance, with an aim to understand the requirements for laagering and quarantining of micronized API materials. |
