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 key inflection points in determining the deviceability of a large molecule biologic product and feasibility of a specific delivery format. DeGrazio identifies candidate selection, first-in-human (FIH), and commitments to clinical phases II and III.
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, and James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, trace the evolution of drug delivery technologies over the last 100 or so years. The timeline illustrates the trajectory from the earliest prefilled syringes to the nanotechnologies and other advances of today.
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.
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.
