1. 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.

2. When And How To Use A UFMEA During Device Design 12/11/2024

   When and how might using a uFMEA (Use Failure Mode Effects Analysis) tool benefit biopharma companies addressing regulatory expectations for analyses of risk and/or 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 potential differences in the contexts, purposes, and degrees of detail in information presented for review.

3. Patient Adoption Of On-Body Delivery Systems 5/23/2025

   In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, panelists Carolyn Dorgan and Courtney Evans from delivery device consultancy Suttons Creek talk with host Fran DeGrazio about factors creating challenges and opportunities in moving patients to on-body injectors (OBIs) and other wearable drug delivery systems.

4. What Types Of Products Are Assessed With A URRA? 12/11/2024

   What types of products in development may need to be assessed in accordance with the FDA’s URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) guidance? 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, describes several common scenarios that illustrate when a URRA approach may or may not be needed.

5. The Steps In Identifying An EDDO 4/23/2025

   What constitutes an EDDO (Essential Drug Delivery Output)? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event EDDOs Revisited: Putting Essential Drug Delivery Outputs Into Practice, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC illustrates how to identify system-level drug delivery outputs that are device-dependent and, therefore, essential. 

6. Charting The Waters Of Drug Delivery Innovation With Suttons Creek 7/11/2025

The conversation covers patient self-administration, emerging modalities, and key considerations in product development, regulatory pathways, and the supply chain.

7. Formulations, Devices, Regulations, and Patients: Two Takes On Drug Delivery Trends 3/14/2025

   In this unique episode of In Combination, series host Tom von Gunden, Chief Editor at Drug Delivery Leader, puts himself in combination with DDL Executive Editor Fran DeGrazio as the two share perspectives on drug delivery trends.

8. Partnering On Patient Needs With DSM-Firmenich's George Mihov And Lukasz Koroniak 10/23/2024

   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.

9. 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.
