How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) determined during the design of a drug-led or biologic-led combination product? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC lays out the foundational considerations.

Chief Scientific Officer Geraldine Venthoye from Phillips Medisize joins Supplier Horizons host Tom von Gunden in a conversation about advancements in inhalation and injection for targeting a broader range of patient needs. The two discuss formulation and delivery system challenges for complex, large molecule biologics, including vaccines, immunotherapies, and cell and gene therapies. Venthoye comments on patient access and affordability, digital health and connected devices, chronic disease management, and social and environmental stewardship. 

See how PBPK models combined with custom and off-the-shelf in vitro tools and solubility enhancement expertise can reduce the need for drug product reformulation or repeated preclinical or clinical studies.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Courtney Evans, principal consultant at Suttons Creek, comments on drug delivery technology advancements, particularly around the challenge of greater reliability. Her commentary begins with the market introduction of epinephrine autoinjectors and moves to more recent advances in nasal spray alternatives.
