In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Injected, Infused, or Implanted: A Penetrating Look At Patient Centricity, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Jonathan Amaya-Hodges to comment on weaving patient-centric product considerations into regulatory approaches. Amaya-Hodges points to early preparation for marketing submissions as key.
In this videocast episode, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 14 of The Combination Products Handbook (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle, along with chapter coauthors Stephanie Goebel, Cherry Malonzo Marty, and Viky Verna. The group provides overviews of the commonalities and variances in regulatory definitions and guidances for combination products across global jurisdictions and agencies.
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 episode of In Combination, officers from industry association The Subcutaneous Drug Development and Delivery Consortium join host Tom von Gunden to introduce the structure and work of the group. The discussion of sub-team activities and outputs illuminates key challenges and innovation opportunities around bioavailability, immunogenicity, high dose formulations, sustainability, clinical development, regulatory strategy, and patient preference.
