  1. 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.

  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.

  3. Applying Control Strategies to EDDOs 10/9/2024

    After Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) have been identified, each will need to be controlled during the development of a drug delivery device.  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 provides the rationale for a risk-based approach to EDDO control strategies.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Understanding The Change From EPR To EDDO 10/9/2024

    Why does the FDA’s new guidance on drug-led or biologic-led device design include a change in terminology from Essential Performance Requirements (EPRs) to Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs)?  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, offers his perspective on how the change in terminology clarifies key concepts related to design controls.

  9. Identifying EDDOs During Drug Delivery Device Design 10/9/2024

    How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) determined during the design of a drug-led or biologic-led combination product? 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 lays out the foundational considerations.

  10. Combination Products Regulatory Considerations with FDA's Barr Weiner 10/1/2024

    From his roles and experiences in the combination products and combined use systems arena, John “Barr” Weiner offers perspectives on how to approach pre- and post-market activities with regulatory requirements and guidance in mind. Cross-functional coordination, integrated development, and primary mode of action (PMOA) designations are among the considerations Barr reminds organizations to implement thoughtfully as they work to advance combination products within a regulatory landscape.
