Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for delivering therapeutic particles are disclosed. In one variation, a device for delivering particles includes a gas supply configured for supplying gas under pressure, a particle cassette comprising the particles, a cassette housing, and a cassette membrane. The cassette housing can comprise an Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymer of 18% to 28% by weight of Vinyl Acetate (VA). The device can also include a safety interlock to prevent or minimize the risk that the device will be unintentionally activated. The device can also have a silencer.

Abstract: A composition is provided for administration to a subject by way of a needleless syringe. The composition is formed from particles having a mean mass aerodynamic diameter of from 1 to 250 microns, and an envelope density of from 0.1 to 25 g/cm.sup.3, where the particles include a biologically active agent and a sustained-release material that controls release of the active agent to a subject following administration of the composition thereto. Methods for delivering a biologically active agent to a subject are also provided.
