Stevanato Group offers advanced glass and polymer EZ-fill® syringes, tailored for complex drugs, with customizable options and innovations like thin-wall needles for patient comfort.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, traces the evolution of delivery technologies for the opioid overdose drug Naloxone to illustrate enablers of emergency use not requiring trained professionals to administer.
In a special episode of In Combination, host Tom von Gunden visits the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Nanomedicine Manufacturing Laboratory at Duquesne University. There, a professor and some graduate students share insights into the program’s focus on innovating nanoparticle formulation, manufacturing, and delivery. The coverage illuminates the role of academic, industry, and government partnerships in advancing the science and technology of nanomedicines toward clinical translation.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, uses the example of a connected pen cap to discuss technology, patient, and market considerations at the intersection of drugs, devices, and data.
