See why partnering with experts with experience in complex, sensitive, and potent APIs, screening for the optimal formulation, and scaling up efficiently is vital for successful trials and commercialization.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, uses the example of a connected pen cap to discuss technology, patient, and market considerations at the intersection of drugs, devices, and data.
Developing new delivery routes is essential for creating more effective treatments. Nanoforming enables new routes to simplify dosing, enhance patient comfort, and reduce healthcare costs.
What does the addition of ISO 13485 as reference in the new QMSR mean for those working to comply with 21 CFR 820? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event New FDA QMSR: Its Role in Part 4 Compliance for Combination Products, consultant Laurie Auerbach of Compliance Prodigies explains the relationship between the two guidance documents.
