Patient-Centric Drug Delivery: Do Possible And Preferable Always Align?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden discusses the alignment of drug delivery method with patient preference and need. He reflects on recent conversations in which he heard from experts in drug and delivery product development, as well as patients themselves, about patient-centric considerations such as safety, efficacy, usability, and convenience. The primary use case is the transition from clinically administered IV to subcutaneous injection, including self-administration.

Why does the FDA’s new guidance on drug-led or biologic-led device design include a change in terminology from Essential Performance Requirements (EPRs) to Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs)? 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, offers his perspective on how the change in terminology clarifies key concepts related to design controls.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, traces key conditions driving and impacting the development of advanced therapies and combination products. These include the demand for precision medicines, the complexity of regulatory frameworks, and pressures on healthcare systems.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, underscores the importance of cascading business and regulatory strategies for advanced therapies and delivery products throughout the organization’s quality management systems.
