Patient-Centric Drug Delivery: Do Possible And Preferable Always Align?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden discusses the alignment of drug delivery method with patient preference and need. He reflects on recent conversations in which he heard from experts in drug and delivery product development, as well as patients themselves, about patient-centric considerations such as safety, efficacy, usability, and convenience. The primary use case is the transition from clinically administered IV to subcutaneous injection, including self-administration.

In a special episode of In Combination, host Tom von Gunden visits the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Nanomedicine Manufacturing Laboratory at Duquesne University. There, a professor and some graduate students share insights into the program’s focus on innovating nanoparticle formulation, manufacturing, and delivery. The coverage illuminates the role of academic, industry, and government partnerships in advancing the science and technology of nanomedicines toward clinical translation.
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).
How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to CGMPs (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) during the design of a drug-led or biologic-led combination product? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event EDDOs Revisited: Putting Essential Drug Delivery Outputs Into Practice, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC establishes the connection between the two regulatory concepts.
What does the addition of ISO 13485 as reference in the new QMSR mean for those working to comply with 21 CFR 820? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event New FDA QMSR: Its Role in Part 4 Compliance for Combination Products, consultant Laurie Auerbach of Compliance Prodigies explains the relationship between the two guidance documents.
