GenAI: The Muscle Behind Strong Regulatory Intelligence For Combination Products
In this article, combination product consultant Doug Mead provides the rationale and offers guidance for using GenAI tools to search regulatory databases. He shows the benefits for biopharma developers of conducting “precedent research” into previous regulatory pathways and results for similar or related drug delivery product submissions.

In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 7 on human factors engineering (HFE) from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the chapter’s co-authors.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Courtney Evans, principal consultant at Suttons Creek, comments on drug delivery technology advancements, particularly around the challenge of greater reliability. Her commentary begins with the market introduction of epinephrine autoinjectors and moves to more recent advances in nasal spray alternatives.
From his roles and experiences in the combination products and combined use systems arena, John “Barr” Weiner offers perspectives on how to approach pre- and post-market activities with regulatory requirements and guidance in mind. Cross-functional coordination, integrated development, and primary mode of action (PMOA) designations are among the considerations Barr reminds organizations to implement thoughtfully as they work to advance combination products within a regulatory landscape.
