Drug Delivery Trends From 2025: Top 4 For Momentum Gains In 2026
In this article, Fran DeGrazio identifies four notable trends in drug delivery that gained momentum in 2025 and, she predicts, will continue to do so in 2026 and beyond. They are digitalization, sustainability, patient centricity, and the advanced delivery of complex biopharmaceuticals.

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.
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.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, host Fran DeGrazio and James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, ponder the discontinuation of Repatha® Pushtronex®. They comment on how its withdrawal may illustrate key market drivers and factors that bolster a product’s success or, alternatively, lead to its demise.
How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to CGMPs (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) during the design of a drug-led or biologic-led combination product? 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 establishes the connection between the two regulatory concepts.
