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.

In this initial episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, a chapter-by chapter videocast series introducing topics from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press, 2023), host Tom von Gunden discusses the book’s intent with its editor, Susan Neadle. The discussion focuses on the rationale for each chapter and the expert contributions of various chapter authors and co-authors.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, host Fran DeGrazio asks panelists James Wabby of biopharmaceutical company AbbVie and Carolyn Dorgan and Courtney Evans of device consultancy Suttons Creek to comment on trends and advances they anticipate in the next phase of delivery development. Those include combination therapies, nanotechnology, reconstitution, and microfluidics.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event New FDA QMSR: Its Role in Part 4 Compliance for Combination Products, DDL Executive Editor Fran DeGrazio asks consultants Laurie Auerbach of Compliance Prodigies and Ed Bills of Edwin Bills Consultant to identify which organization in a combination product manufacturing process are responsible for design controls – the sponsor company, the contracted component provider, or both.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, provides a landscape overview of emerging and advancing therapeutic methodologies. These include antibody-drug conjugates, CRISPR-edited gene therapies, companion diagnostics, complex generics, and AI-enabled biomarker identification.
