In this episode of In Combination, CEO Patrick Amstutz of Molecular Partners and CEO Arnaud Lesegretain of Orano Med join host Tom von Gunden in a discussion of using DARPins (Designed Ankyrin Repeat Proteins) as vector delivery platforms for high-affinity binding of radioisotopes to treat cancer. Using the example of small cell lung cancer. Patrick and Arnaud describe how DARPin-delivered radiotherapy can attack metastatic cancers while overcoming the targeting limitations of external beam radiation and of antibodies.
A common challenge in administering cell therapies and other biologics-based treatments is sustaining delivery and bioavailability while protecting against degradation and off-target toxicities. In this episode of Supplier Horizons, host Tom von Gunden discusses with CEO Stella Vnook from platform technology developer Likarda methods for deploying hydrogel microencapsulation to safely route cells, proteins, and other biologic agents to therapeutic targets. These include long-acting formulations in oncology, immunology, and other chronic or rare diseases.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Large Molecule Biologics Delivery: Aligning Formulations, Doses, And Devices, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden directs to panelist Rubi Burlage an audience question about timetable for finalizing a TPP (Target Product Profile) during product development. While acknowledging the iterative nature of a TPP, Burlage recommends Phase III as the ideal stage for a lockdown and advises against late changes at validation.
In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 11 on analytical testing with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle, and chapter coauthor Jennifer Riter. Susan and Jennifer discuss various analytical methods for testing compatibility, performance, stability, and safety when combining drugs or biologics with delivery devices and device constituent parts.
