The discussion highlights key aspects of a biopharma organization’s business and operations that must be effectively integrated when developing drugs and devices in tandem. These include imperatives such as establishing common terminology, applying QbD (Quaility by Design) principles, and managing supplier controls for providers of constituent parts.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, host Fran DeGrazio and James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, ponder the discontinuation of Repatha® Pushtronex®. They comment on how its withdrawal may illustrate key market drivers and factors that bolster a product’s success or, alternatively, lead to its demise.

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.

Stephen Stein, scientific director of inhalation products at Kindeva, joins Supplier Horizons host Tom von Gunden in a discussion of opportunities and challenges for inhalation product development. The topics discussed include ensuring bioequivalence in generics, reducing environmental impact from propellants, and advancing inhalation-based delivery of vaccines and combination therapies.
