Using soft mist inhalers (SMI) to create best-in-class inhaled therapies loved by patients and envied by your competitors.
An in-depth analysis of SMI technology to harness its potential: design, performance, use and benefits in the development of Inhaled dosage forms.
Soft Mist Inhaler (SMI) devices are rare and highly sought after. They enable to create inhaled therapies that are reliable, practical with high efficiency and deep lung penetration. Being easy to use, able to reduce dosing substantially and with green credentials, SMIs are a cut above other inhaler devices.
There is one snag: they are rarely accessible.
They do not yet exist “off-the-shelf”, they are a feast of engineering not achieved by many device companies. There is only one SMI on the market, but that does not need to remain so.
Let us introduce you to MRX004 ;Merxin’s SMI ready for you. Let us show you how to access this rarity and lift your inhalation portfolio above the pack.
This webinar will look at the different aspects of SMI technology that are instrumental in the success of the development of new inhaled therapies. The webinar will be based on Merxin’s work on our SMI device MRX004. The webinar will focus on “how-to” tips: starting with the design of the devices to their use in in-vivo situations, such as handling by users. The webinar will be a mix of Merxin’s experience, what issues we met and solved, and review of literature data. We will explain how we created MRX004 and how it expands on existing SMI devices.
In particular, we will look at:
• device design
• in-vitro and in-vivo, with a look at clinical performance
• comparison vs other devices, in particular against nebulisers
• what can and cannot be achieved with SMIs
• I.P. and know-how protections
• how to plan to integrate SMIs in a development plan
• project planning and budgeting: how to use SMIs in your portoflio
• therapies areas and applications: nicotine replacement, cannabinoids, generic and new therapies.
By the end of the webinar you will know how to assess your portfolio against the potential of SMIs and you will have the starting point to make an SMI. The aim of the webinar is to give you the confidence that you can initiate an SMI project without compromising on Speed to market and Quality knowing that you can rely on unparalleled Support and Expertise from the Merxin team.
Register to this webinar to become a budding SMI expert, gear up your inhalation drug delivery projects to create inhalation therapies that will leave your competitors in the starting blocks. Bring on tomorrow!
