“Moving pulmonary and nasal drug products from early-stage development to the market is challenging for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device companies,” said Fran DeGrazio, Vice President, Marketing and Strategic Business Development. “The challenges include testing the drug product and delivery device. Companies may not have a proven device selection process in place and may not have validated laboratory methods or instruments required to test the drug product and the device. Any misstep along the way runs the risk of costly project delays.”
“We can help clients move their pulmonary and nasal drug products to market without undue delay by applying our knowledge and experience in pharmaceutical packaging, drug product development and regulatory guidances to provide clients with proven analytical laboratory support,” said Ms. DeGrazio.
West’s analytical services for pulmonary and nasal drug products encompass early-stage development, clinical development and post-product launch stages for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device clients.
West’s laboratory professionals understand the unique requirements of pulmonary and nasal products and delivery devices and provide testing for:
· Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs)
· Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs)
· Nasal and Oral Sprays
· Nebulizers
