Delivery Device Functional Scrutiny: Can You Pass (Without) The Test?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden considers the relationship between regulatory testing and the biopharma industry’s interest in leveraging drug delivery platform technologies to reduce regulatory burden in product development. Tom includes a conversation with guest columnist Doug Mead about waivers on testing in the context of FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs).

What does the FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) mean for activities involved in preconditioning the device delivery components of combination products? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, Alan Stevens, regulatory head of complex devices and drug delivery systems at AbbVie and formerly at FDA, discusses the likely intent and impact of EDDOs on preconditioning for both manufacturers and sponsor companies.
In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 3 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle. The conversation focuses on building into product development a regulatory strategy that incorporates key enablers of market success from early clinical studies, through the marketing application, to post-market changes.
