Every generation may believe that it faces unprecedented and “the Worst” challenges:
Consider the 20th and 21st Centuries
• World War I, the “War to end All Wars.”• Global Influenza Pandemic 1918•The Great Depression of 1929•The Dust Bowl and collapse of farming• Racial and Religious Intolerance —
The Ku Klux Klan and the Holocaust• World War II/ Fascism and Communism• Nuclear and Biological Weapons 1950-1990• Cuban Missile Crisis and Viet-Nam War•Terrorism and 9/11• Global Pollution and Climate Change• Global Disease, Poverty, and Hunger• Energy, Housing, and Economic Turmoil

Project Objectives• Synthesize a stable respirable microparticulate dry powder
measles vaccine by CAN-BD • Develop at least 2 simple, very inexpensive unidose active
DPI devices that can deliver well dispersed fine particles• Install GMP Bubble Dryer at the Serum Institute of India in
Pune, India (now operational)• Assess excipient and vaccine safety pre-clinically in rodents
and Non-Human Primates, then clinically in Phase I trials in India
• Deliverable: Successful completion of Phase I clinical trials for improved needle-free inhalable dry powder measles vaccine

GRAND CHALLENGE 3: NEEDLE-FREE DELIVERY
• Maintain viral activity of attenuated Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine through stabilization in glassy dry respirable microparticles upon drying, then in a state of suspended animation for many months.
• The aggregate, upon dispersion from an active dry powder inhaler, must deposit in the moist respiratory tract where microparticles will rapidly dissolve in mucosa and replicate many-fold over a few days to stimulate immune responses.
• As the immune responses develop, the viremia must subside and the antibodies persist.
![Page 10: Sievers Fehsenfeld2](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051414/559f3a231a28ab352e8b46b7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GRAND CHALLENGE 3: NEEDLE-FREE DELIVERY
Needed:
• Well-formulated free flowing stable microparticles with less than 1% residual moisture, with high virus titers, dissolved within ~5 seconds.
• Inexpensive uni-dose blister packs or containers to protect vaccine from contamination, decomposing, reaction with water, oxidants and UV for 2 years, and to reduce vaccine wastage. (Presently 40% is destroyed.)
• Simple active dry powder inhalers that can disperse powder agglomerates to generate high emitted doses with high fine particle fractions.
![Page 11: Sievers Fehsenfeld2](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051414/559f3a231a28ab352e8b46b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Stabilize and make dry powders with larger fine particle fraction
• Package and seal individually as unit doses to:- Extend lifetime- Pre-measure the dose- Protect powder against moisture, oxidants, and
UV light- Protect vaccine against contamination- Reduce bioburden and eliminate pathogens- Reduce vaccine wastage- Allow serial administration of vaccines- Allow formulation in optimal matrix for each
vaccine

• Prepare vaccine aerosol precursors in manufacturing plant rather than in the field
• Provide dispersion and aerosolization on site with only muscle power, and without line current or batteries
• Separate and re-use aerosolizer and disperser; then incinerate each reservoir and mask or mouthpiece
• Avoid carrying water to the field (vaccine ~10 times lighter).

• Powders inherently more stable than liquids• No line current or batteries required• Lower risk of disease transmission• Less vaccine wastage• More difficult to contaminate; no water or reconstitution
needed, so easier to carry• No skin puncture or contact with blood• No re-use of needles

Revaccination protection from mucosal pulmonary aerosol superior to SC injection in S. Africa (Dilraj, et al.)
Nasal administration of large droplets gave poor seroconversion results in Chile (Simon, Levine, et al.)

The Principle of the New CAN-BD Process
• In CAN-BD, the vaccine formulation solution/suspension in water is mixed intimately in a low volume tee with CO2 at 80-100 bar to form an emulsion.
• The emulsion, stabilized with myo-inositol or other sugars and the other traditional excipients in the SIIL vaccine (excepting sorbitol), is rapidly expanded to atmospheric pressure through a flow restrictor to generate aerosols of microbubbles and microdroplets.
• The aerosol plume is dried at temperatures below 50-70 °C as it mixes with a sheath of nitrogen in the drying chamber.
• Dry fine powders are collected on filters and packaged to exclude moisture (aluminum foil blister packs or capsules with Al-film/ polymer laminates for packaging).

• Pressure release valves and syringes facilitate dispersion and create stable aerosol clouds comparable to newly FDA-approved active DPI.
• Greatly reduced cost and complexity of DPI‘s.
• Reduced water content of powders to < 1%.
• Myo-inositol stabilized powders pass the WHO test for stability at 37 degrees Celsius for one week with less than one log loss in viral activity.
