Your Best Chance At Regulatory Compliance For Combination Products: Integrated Development

The FDA now defines a prefilled syringe, a product that was at one point considered “packaging” for a drug, as a constituent part of a combination product. The ultimate combination of the drug, its package, and its delivery device means that during development and manufacturing you need to combine both drug and device current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) and quality approaches.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Developmental Testing Of IV Solutions

As IV-administered drugs proliferate, sponsors must understand the associated regulatory requirements, methodologies for useful/required information, and formulations suitable for administration.

Inspection Of Injectable Products For Visible Particulates

Examine the risks posed by particulates, the potential sources and types of particulates, and approaches to detect and measure visible particulates in injectables.

The Right Choice For Multiparticulate Modified Release Dosage Forms

Wurster processing is a versatile technique used for manufacturing multiparticulates in modified release dosage forms. Determine if it is suitable for your modified-release project.

Keys To Developing Complex Injectables For Early-Phase Studies

Complex injectables offer unique drug delivery advantages, but their development is challenging due to formulation intricacies, strict FDA regulations, and rigorous testing.
