Non-invasive Delivery of Biologics: Formulation Strategies and Regulatory Aspects

Special Issue Information

Daer colleague,

Over the past two decades, biologics, ranging from small peptides to monoclonal antibodies, have revolutionized the treatment of difficult-to-treat diseases, notably cancer, metabolic disorders and systemic autoimmune diseases. Aiming to enhance patients’ adherence to the treatment and minimize the complications of the parenteral route, the non-invasive delivery of biologics is highly desired. This issue focuses on recently developed formulation strategies and novel delivery systems to advance the non-invasive administration of biological drugs, in addition to discussing regulatory aspects and future perspectives of biologics development.
