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.
In this episode of In Combination, Albana Thorpe and Max Lerman from the technical director team at drug delivery product development consultancy Suttons Creek discuss with host Tom von Gunden, chief editor at Drug Delivery Leader, considerations around supplier relationships in product development for combination products and other delivery devices. Albana and Max share perspectives on quality management, documentation, usability testing, regulatory pathways, post-market design changes, and other aspects of supplier controls.
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 delivery device consultancy Suttons Creek and formerly at FDA, discusses regulatory implications of the integration or compatibility of digital applications with autoinjectors, combination products, and other drug delivery devices.
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.
