Using volatile processing aids to increase drug solubility in more environmentally friendly solvents, like methanol, reduces the amount of solvent required to manufacture amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs).

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, highlights the promise of using combination products and combination therapies to reach difficult targets with precision. Carolyn notes crossing the blood-brain barrier as an example of a key therapy delivery advance. 

In this episode of Sit and Deliver, host Tom von Gunden talks with Merck VP of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Clinical Supply Allen Templeton about formulation and device considerations for combination products and other delivery systems deployed across a range of molecule types and sizes. The conversation takes them from small molecules, through peptides and mAbs, to large molecule biologics, across various routes of administration including oral, injectable, and inhalation.

To what extent are approaches to conducting risk assessments specified in the FDA URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) guidance? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, offers context-setting perspective on what FDA is looking for when reviewing URRA compliance.
