INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Part 4 cGMP Summaries For Combination Products: Uncovering FDA Expectations
In this article, consultant Doug Mead reports on precedent research he conducted into FDA databases on 21 CFR Subpart cGMPs for combination products. His observations and conclusions offer sound advice on how to approach summaries submitted for BLA and NDA purposes.
INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY RESOURCES
-
A compound with poor biopharmaceutical properties or improper formulation design could lead to a delay in the project or even program termination.
-
Combination products provide significant avenues for increasing patient adherence and overall efficacy. This collection outlines the opportunity and identifies strategies for gaining regulatory approval.
