Partnering On Patient Needs With DSM-Firmenich

Principal Scientist George Mihov and Global Biomaterials Director Lukasz Koroniak from DSM-Firmenich join Supplier Horizons host Tom von Gunden to discuss partnering with pharma on formulation development. Among the topics covered are translational research, materials development, and complex molecules required for biologic-based therapies.

Understanding The Change From EPR To EDDO

Why does the FDA’s new guidance on drug-led or biologic-led device design include a change in terminology from Essential Performance Requirements (EPRs) to Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs)? In this segment of The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, Alan Stevens, regulatory head of complex devices and drug delivery systems at AbbVie and formerly at FDA, offers his perspective on how the change in terminology clarifies key concepts related to design controls.
