In this episode of Supplier Horizons, host Tom von Gunden talks with Chief Commercial Officer Christian Jones of nanoparticle technology developer Nanoform about innovation in drug and biologics delivery. The discussion covers aspects of patient centricity such as aging populations, in-home self-administration, and personalized medicine. It also focuses on the use of nanotechnology in the delivery of high concentration formulations via oral and subcutaneous routes of administration.
What is management’s responsibility in the implementation of approaches to the new QMSR? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event New FDA QMSR: Its Role in Part 4 Compliance for Combination Products, consultant Laurie Auerbach of Compliance Prodigies underscores the criticality of management commitment to and engagement in the process.
Why does the FDA’s new guidance on drug-led or biologic-led device design include a change in terminology from Essential Performance Requirements (EPRs) to Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs)? 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, offers his perspective on how the change in terminology clarifies key concepts related to design controls.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Just Breathe: Increasing Efficacy And Expanding Targets With Inhalation Delivery, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Geraldine Venthoye to describe approaches to using oral and nasal inhalation to target systemic conditions beyond the nose and lungs. Venthoye lists opioid overdose, cardiovascular conditions, and CNS (central nervous system) diseases among promising indications for inhalation-delivered treatments.
