FEATURED EDITORIAL

Long-Acting Injectable Formulations Targeting Opioid Overdose

Not only do opioid overdose sufferers need urgent, rescue treatments but they often remain vulnerable to symptom rebound and continued opioid use disorder (OUD). In this episode of Sit and Deliver, Tom Jenkins, Chief Scientific Officer of biopharmaceutical company Elysium Therapeutics, talks with videocast host Tom von Gunden about mitigating recurrence by using long-acting, intramuscular injectables (LAIs) to deliver the rescue drug naloxone in a rapid onset, slow-off formulation. 

Understanding The Global Regulatory Landscape For Combination Products

In this videocast episode, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 14 of The Combination Products Handbook (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle, along with chapter coauthors Stephanie Goebel, Cherry Malonzo Marty, and Viky Verna. The group provides overviews of the commonalities and variances in regulatory definitions and guidances for combination products across global jurisdictions and agencies.
