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.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, traces key conditions driving and impacting the development of advanced therapies and combination products. These include the demand for precision medicines, the complexity of regulatory frameworks, and pressures on healthcare systems. 

What does the FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) mean for activities involved in preconditioning the device delivery components of combination products? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, Alan Stevens,  regulatory head of complex devices and drug delivery systems at AbbVie and formerly at FDA, discusses the likely intent and impact of EDDOs on preconditioning for both manufacturers and sponsor companies.

In this initial episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, a chapter-by chapter videocast series introducing topics from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press, 2023), host Tom von Gunden discusses the book’s intent with its editor, Susan Neadle. The discussion focuses on the rationale for each chapter and the expert contributions of various chapter authors and co-authors.
