INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Drug–Device Combination Products: Bridging Formulation, Device, And Manufacturing Decisions
Teams must assess the drug, the device, the manufacturing process, and the environment in which the product is used as an integrated system, not as separate 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.
When and how might using a uFMEA (Use Failure Mode Effects Analysis) tool benefit biopharma companies addressing regulatory expectations for analyses of risk and/or human factors? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Natalie, Abts, head of human factors engineering at Genentech, and Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, discuss potential differences in the contexts, purposes, and degrees of detail in information presented for review.
Developing new delivery routes is essential for creating more effective treatments. Nanoforming enables new routes to simplify dosing, enhance patient comfort, and reduce healthcare costs.
In this episode of In Combination, Albana Thorpe and Max Lerman from the technical director team at drug delivery product development consultancy Suttons Creek discuss with host Tom von Gunden, chief editor at Drug Delivery Leader, considerations around supplier relationships in product development for combination products and other delivery devices. Albana and Max share perspectives on quality management, documentation, usability testing, regulatory pathways, post-market design changes, and other aspects of supplier controls.
