  1. Confirming EDDOs Based on "Device Dependence" 10/9/2024

    Among the characteristics of a device design feature that helps identify it as an Essential Drug Delivery Output (EDDO) is “device dependent.” 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 differences between the concepts of device-dependent versus device-independent and illustrates why only the former is applicable to an EDDO.

  2. 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.

    In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Eying The Drug Delivery Regulatory Landscape: The 'Must See' Watch List For 2026, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks the panel to comment on post-market regulatory considerations and processes for combination products. Among the topics covered are post-approval changes, design outputs, patient safety, and various regulatory guidances.

  5. Drug Delivery For Various Molecules And Modalities 6/24/2025

    In this episode of Sit and Deliver, host Tom von Gunden talks with Merck VP of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Clinical Supply Allen Templeton about formulation and device considerations for combination products and other delivery systems deployed across a range of molecule types and sizes. The conversation takes them from small molecules, through peptides and mAbs, to large molecule biologics, across various routes of administration including oral, injectable, and inhalation.

  6. 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.

  7. An EDDO Identification Tutorial For An On-Body Injector (OBI) 4/23/2025

    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, and Alan Stevens, regulatory head of complex devices and drug delivery systems at AbbVie, use a hypothetical case study for an on-body injector (OBI) to demonstrate a template for identifying EDDOs.

  8. Nanoforming Biologics, GLP-1s: From I.V. To Sub Q And Inhaled Delivery 9/9/2025

    Developing new delivery routes is essential for creating more effective treatments. Nanoforming enables new routes to simplify dosing, enhance patient comfort, and reduce healthcare costs.

  9. Leveraging Combination Therapies For Precision Targeting 10/8/2025

    In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, highlights the promise of using combination products and combination therapies to reach difficult targets with precision. Carolyn notes crossing the blood-brain barrier as an example of a key therapy delivery advance.
