   In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 4 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle, and chapter co-author Mike Wallenstein. In the exchange, Susan and Mike share their perspectives on combination product CGMP’s, including regulatory definitions and differences in the U.S. and Europe, supplier controls, design controls, and manufacturer responsibilities.

2. 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.

3. 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 Deliver 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.

4. 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 Deliver 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.

5. 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 Deliver 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.

6. 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 Deliver 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.

7. How To Identify And Differentiate Combination Products 11/18/2024

   In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 2 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor and Chapter 2 author, Susan Neadle. Considering both product development and the global regulatory landscape, the discussion focuses on answers to the question posed by the chapter title, “What Is a Combination Product?”

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. What Is There to Learn from a Combination Products Handbook? Plenty! 10/15/2024

   In this initial episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, a chapter-by chapter videocast series introducing topics from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press, 2023), host Tom von Gunden discusses the book’s intent with its editor, Susan Neadle. The discussion focuses on the rationale for each chapter and the expert contributions of various chapter authors and co-authors.

10. 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.
