INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES

patient talking to doctor-GettyImages-1667822839 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.

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 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, and Alan Stevens, regulatory head of complex devices and drug delivery systems at AbbVie, use a hypothetical case study for a prefilled syringe (PFS) to demonstrate a template for identifying EDDOs.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, and James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, trace the evolution of drug delivery technologies over the last 100 or so years. The timeline illustrates the trajectory from the earliest prefilled syringes to the nanotechnologies and other advances of today.

In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 12 on biologics delivery with chapter author Manfred Maeder and the book’s editor, Susan Neadle. Manfred and Susan comment on the challenges of moving large molecule formulations into combination products while considering product stability, usability, and supply chain.
