Key Takeaways from the 12th DPI China Technology Conference

Inke was proud to attend the 12th DPI China Technology Conference last week, an event that brought together industry experts to discuss the latest developments and trends in inhalation drug delivery. This key conference highlighted important advances in the sector and provided valuable insights into the future of inhalation therapies, particularly in China.

Key Industry Trends and Innovations

One of the major topics of discussion at the conference was the continued focus on inhalation formulations in the pharmaceutical industry. Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI) and nebulized inhalation therapies are leading the way in the development of new respiratory treatments in China. Despite the progress, the development of generic DPIs remains a significant challenge due to the complexity of the systematic work involved. This highlights the need for ongoing research and development in the field to overcome these barriers and create more effective treatments for respiratory conditions.

The conference also covered a comprehensive approach to drug development in the inhalation sector. Topics included the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, packaging materials, devices, characterization methods, and innovative formulation technologies. The discussions underscored the importance of a holistic approach to inhalation therapies, incorporating various elements from the API to the final product to ensure efficacy and patient safety.

The Future of Inhaled Biologics

A key area of focus at the event was the regulatory trends and strategies surrounding both generic and innovative inhalation drugs. Industry experts discussed the significant regulatory hurdles involved in developing inhalation therapies and the strategies needed to overcome them. A particularly exciting development discussed was the future of inhaled biologics, which are expected to be the next milestone in respiratory therapies, following the success of small molecule inhalation treatments.

Conclusion

Inke is committed to staying at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation, and attending events like the DPI China Technology Conference allows us to stay informed on the latest trends and breakthroughs in inhalation drug delivery. We extend our thanks to the organizers and speakers for their insightful presentations, which continue to drive advancements in the field of respiratory care.
