INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
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).
