Patient training and onboarding for intranasal rescue treatments

Drug repurposing is an effective lifecycle management tool for approved drugs that offers low-cost market entry and streamlined regulatory approval. Recent years have seen a marked upswing in drug repurposing projects with an appreciable number involving reformulation for nasal drug delivery. This article considers the onboarding and training requirements associated with the use of nasal spray products to administer rescue medication in emergency situations, as required for recently approved therapeutics for opioid overdose and seizure cluster management. Noble, an Aptar Pharma company provides a nasal trainer that directly mimics the action of the Aptar technology that underpins these products. Data suggest that appropriate onboarding and training play a significant role in engendering the confidence required to use a nasal spray in a crisis scenario, to achieve a successful outcome and reduce requirements for expert healthcare interventions.

With a recent resurgence in nasal drug repurposing, this article looks at the importance of training and onboarding for intranasal rescue therapies.

The resurgence in nasal drug repurposing has been driven by several factors. From an economic perspective, partners benefit from reduced development costs, IP creation, increased market share and extended life cycle. The regulatory pathways are faster and less complex. It may also provide an opportunity to respond to a currently unmet medical need. Patients benefit too – they feel empowered because medical staff intervention and supervision can be reduced, putting patients back in greater control of their lives. And of course, nasal drug delivery does provide simplified access, often with an intuitive, user-friendly method of delivery.
