In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden considers the relationship between regulatory testing and the biopharma industry’s interest in leveraging drug delivery platform technologies to reduce regulatory burden in product development. Tom includes a conversation with guest columnist Doug Mead about waivers on testing in the context of FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs).

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.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Eying The Drug Delivery Regulatory Landscape: The 'Must See' Watch List For 2026, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Barr Weiner to describe the role of case study examples in defining and regulating combination products globally. Weiner makes the case for agreement about the science and technology being more important than commonality in terminology, Panelist Fran DeGrazio agrees.

In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 10 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle, and chapter co-author Fran DeGrazio. On the topic of supplier quality and controls, Susan and Fran discuss key considerations for using third-party suppliers of raw materials, constituent parts, and services in combination product development.

COVID-19 and other viruses have drawn increased attention to the debilitating effects and potentially consequential underlying causes of hyposmia or anosmia (reduced or complete inability to smell). In this episode of Sit and Deliver, Rick Geoffrion, founder and CEO of regenerative medicine company Cyrano Therapeutics, talks with Sit and Deliver host Tom von Gunden about why an effective therapeutic response may well involve – you guessed it – a payload through the nose.
