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.
