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.

An increasingly common obstacle to treating patients with infections is resistance to antibiotics. In this episode of Sit and Deliver, CEO William Colton of biologics platform delivery developer Paldara Pharmaceuticals talks with videocast host Tom von Gunden about infection-combatting alternatives using hydrogel-based systems to deliver bacteriophage viral therapeutics directly to infection sites.
To what extent are approaches to conducting risk assessments specified in the FDA URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) guidance? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, offers context-setting perspective on what FDA is looking for when reviewing URRA compliance.
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.
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.
