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 asks panelist Dominick DeGrazio about considerations around the alignment of a biologics formulation with a delivery device. In commenting on deviceability, DeGrazio points to key determiners such as the Target Product Profile (TPP), preferred dosage form, and existing platform technologies versus new device landscaping.
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 asks panelist Rubi Burlage about key considerations as a biologics-based product moves into later clinical stages and on toward commercial scale-up. Burlage highlights control strategy, clinical data, human factors studies, and supply chain as areas calling for significant attention during later-stage development.
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, uses the case of Enbrel® and the multiple delivery options for it to illustrate patient considerations and market factors that can impact product success.
In this episode of Supplier Horizons, host Tom von Gunden talks with Chief Commercial Officer Christian Jones of nanoparticle technology developer Nanoform about innovation in drug and biologics delivery. The discussion covers aspects of patient centricity such as aging populations, in-home self-administration, and personalized medicine. It also focuses on the use of nanotechnology in the delivery of high concentration formulations via oral and subcutaneous routes of administration.
