  1. Developing Regulatory Strategies For Combination Products 12/16/2024

    In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 3 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. The conversation focuses on building into product development a regulatory strategy that incorporates key enablers of market success from early clinical studies, through the marketing application, to post-market changes.

  2. 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.

  3. Understanding the Difference Between EDDOs and Primary Functions 10/9/2024

    How do Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) differ from Primary Functions – for example, as described in ISO 11608 regarding needle-based injection systems? 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, describes the differences between the two concepts, including how they differently relate to considerations of risk.

  4. Balancing User-Related Risk Assessments With Use-Enabling Device Enhancements 12/11/2024

    Can a diligent focus on patient safety during combination product development inadvertently lead to missed opportunities for device use enhancements? 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, discusses ways to keep the organization focused on developing quality products that enhance user adoptability while also mitigating user-related harm.

  5. Increasing Precision In Inhalation Delivery 5/27/2026

    In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Just Breathe: Increasing Efficacy And Expanding Targets With Inhalation Delivery, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Geraldine Venthoye about innovations in inhalation formulation and delivery for enabling expanded and precision therapeutic targeting.
