1. Setting The Strategic Direction For Advanced Therapy Products 10/8/2025

   In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, underscores the importance of cascading business and regulatory strategies for advanced therapies and delivery products throughout the organization’s quality management systems. 

2. Protecting And Sustaining Biologics Via Microencapsulated Delivery With Likarda's Stella Vnook 9/30/2025

   A common challenge in administering cell therapies and other biologics-based treatments is sustaining delivery and bioavailability while protecting against degradation and off-target toxicities. In this episode of Supplier Horizons, host Tom von Gunden discusses with CEO Stella Vnook from platform technology developer Likarda methods for deploying hydrogel microencapsulation to safely route cells, proteins, and other biologic agents to therapeutic targets. These include long-acting formulations in oncology, immunology, and other chronic or rare diseases. 

3. Drug Delivery And Digital Health: It's A Case Of Connectivity 5/23/2025

   In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, uses the example of a connected pen cap to discuss technology, patient, and market considerations at the intersection of drugs, devices, and data.

4. Preparing For Combination Product Regulatory Inspections 4/11/2025

   In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 9 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle, and chapter co-author Kim Trautman.

5. Clarifying The EDDO Focus On Design Outputs, Not Design Inputs 10/9/2024

   In what ways are Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) different from design inputs for combination products? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC explains the difference.

6. Preconditioning Devices under EDDO Guidance 10/9/2024

   What does the FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) mean for activities involved in preconditioning the device delivery components of combination products? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event 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, discusses the likely intent and impact of EDDOs on preconditioning for both manufacturers and sponsor companies.

7. URRA And UFMEA: Together Or Separate For Combination Products? 12/11/2024

   Both uFMEA (Use Failure Mode Effects Analysis) and URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) tools are available during combination product development for conducting risk assessments related to human factors. In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Natalie, Abts, head of human factors engineering at Genentech, and Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, discuss scenarios in which a uFMEA might be used to inform a URRA regulatory submission.

8. Defining and Regulating Combination Products: An Evolutionary Journey 10/15/2024

   In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 1 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press, 2023) with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle. Given that the initial chapter was penned by the FDA’s John “Barr” Weiner, the discussion focuses on reasons for establishing the historical and regulatory context for combination products early in the handbook’s topic coverage.

9. Drug Delivery Technology Adoption: A Case Of Too Many Options? 5/23/2025

   In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, uses the case of Enbrel® and the multiple delivery options for it to illustrate patient considerations and market factors that can impact product success.

10. Why Start A URRA Early In Combination Product Design? 12/11/2024

    Both a URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) and IFU (Instructions for Use) can help to mitigate the risk of user misuse of a combination product. In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, offers rationale for starting and conducting the URRA ahead of developing or finalizing IFU.
