Abstract
Purpose
Nasal delivery is a favorable route for vaccination against most respiratory infections, as antigen deposited in the nasal turbinate and Waldeyer’s ring areas induce mucosal and systemic immune responses. However, little is known about the nasal distribution of the vaccines, specifically for infants.
Methods
Anatomical nasal replicas of five subjects, 3–24 months, were developed to assess local intranasal vaccine delivery using MAD Nasal™ device, and understand impact of breathing conditions and administration parameters. High performance liquid chromatography was used to quantify the deposition pattern and determine the delivery efficiency.
Results
The delivery efficiency on average for all models was found to be 86.57±14.23%. There were no significant differences in the total delivery efficiency between the models in all cases. However, the regional deposition pattern was altered based on the model and subsequent administration. Furthermore, removing the foam tip from the MAD Nasal™ device, to study the impact of insertion length, did not significantly increase the efficiency within the two models tested, 5- and 16-month.
Conclusion
Incorporating nasal replicas in testing provided a benchmark to determine the efficiency of a common intranasal vaccine delivery combination product. This proposed platform would allow comparing other potential nasal vaccine delivery devices.
