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, lays out the phases and key activities in the development of a combination product or combination therapy. She underscores the importance of integrated development when merging medicinal product development with delivery device development. 

Both a URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) and IFU (Instructions for Use) can help to mitigate the risk of user misuse of a combination product. 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 rationale for starting and conducting the URRA ahead of developing or finalizing IFU.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, uses the example of a connected pen cap to discuss technology, patient, and market considerations at the intersection of drugs, devices, and data.

From his roles and experiences in the combination products and combined use systems arena, John “Barr” Weiner offers perspectives on how to approach pre- and post-market activities with regulatory requirements and guidance in mind. Cross-functional coordination, integrated development, and primary mode of action (PMOA) designations are among the considerations Barr reminds organizations to implement thoughtfully as they work to advance combination products within a regulatory landscape.
