• Nebulizers - Several nebulizer drug products approved via 505(j) route
• Metered dose inhalers (MDIs) - Four chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-based MDIs approved in 1990s via 505(j) route
• Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) - No generic DPIs approved

• Diversity in design of DPIs on the US market • DPI device designs patent protected • DPI performance dependent on design variables
of formulation and device • DPI Research was initiated in 2009:
Examine the effects of device and formulation factors on in vitro performance of DPIs to
– Enhance regulatory science in the respiratory drug delivery area
– Provide an approach towards developing a generic DPI

CFD Analysis of HandiHaler
• 90% of the airflow enters through the primary flow inlet
– It determines fluidization and deaggregation of the DPI formulation in the capsule chamber.
• 10% of the airflow enters through the bypass inlets.
– It affects drug deposition in mouthpiece.

CFD Analysis of Cyclohaler
Airflow enters a device through air inlets on the sides of capsule cavity
![Page 12: Scientific Considerations for Development of Generic …€¦ · Scientific Considerations for Development of Generic OIPs via 505(j) ... Manufacturing, ... Cipla MultiHaler](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac052957f8b9a213f8bd81c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Pressure Distribution Velocity Distribution
Airflow accelerates in the device creating a cyclone which moves the capsule in a swirling motion.
Great pressure drop occurs
Key Device attribute: Air Inlets • Principal control of air flow and pressure drop • Influences the forces on the capsule and hence powder fluidization and deaggregation

• Device selection
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis – Study the flow characteristics within the device computationally
• Modifications to a test device – Match the device resistance and aerosolization performance with the reference
DPI • In vitro characterization

CFD Analysis of Diskus
• 93% of the airflow enters through the by-pass.
• 7% of the airflow enters through the blister pocket.
• Flow split plays a significant role in balancing the effects of fluidization and de-aggregation in the blister pocket, by-pass and the mouthpiece.

Pressure Distribution Velocity Distribution
High-velocity airflow at the mouthpiece
Pressure loss across blister ~700 Pa
Fluidization of DPI formulation
Large pressure differential between
the airflow
Airflow velocity in the blister was
about 30 m/s

CFD Analysis of MultiHaler
• 92% of the airflow enters through the lever arm
• 8% of the airflow enters through the cartridge
• Different mechanism of accessing, fluidizing and entraining dose in comparison to Diskus
• Cartridge is perforated to actuate dose
![Page 20: Scientific Considerations for Development of Generic …€¦ · Scientific Considerations for Development of Generic OIPs via 505(j) ... Manufacturing, ... Cipla MultiHaler](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022506/5ac052957f8b9a213f8bd81c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Pressure Distribution Velocity Distribution
Pressure loss across blister ~2500 Pa
Airflow velocity in the cartridge 60 m/s
• Pressure and velocity profiles across the MultiHaler cartridge greater than Diskus which indicates that the air-path of both devices are different.
• The process of powder fluidization and entrainment would be very different from Diskus and therefore the pharmaceutical performance of the MultiHaler may also be different to that of the Diskus.

Conclusions • Understanding of device aerosolization
characteristics are important in achieving in vitro equivalence of DPIs
• Critical DPI device attributes (i.e., dimensions of air inlets) need to be identified
• Product (device and formulation) and process understanding is essential in developing a test DPI bioequivalent to the reference DPI
