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.
The discussion highlights key aspects of a biopharma organization’s business and operations that must be effectively integrated when developing drugs and devices in tandem. These include imperatives such as establishing common terminology, applying QbD (Quaility by Design) principles, and managing supplier controls for providers of constituent parts.
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.
An increasingly common obstacle to treating patients with infections is resistance to antibiotics. In this episode of Sit and Deliver, CEO William Colton of biologics platform delivery developer Paldara Pharmaceuticals talks with videocast host Tom von Gunden about infection-combatting alternatives using hydrogel-based systems to deliver bacteriophage viral therapeutics directly to infection sites.
