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).

Chief Scientific Officer Geraldine Venthoye from Phillips Medisize joins Supplier Horizons host Tom von Gunden in a conversation about advancements in inhalation and injection for targeting a broader range of patient needs. The two discuss formulation and delivery system challenges for complex, large molecule biologics, including vaccines, immunotherapies, and cell and gene therapies. Venthoye comments on patient access and affordability, digital health and connected devices, chronic disease management, and social and environmental stewardship. 

The discussion highlights key aspects of a biopharma organization’s business and operations that must be effectively integrated when developing drugs and devices in tandem. These include imperatives such as establishing common terminology, applying QbD (Quaility by Design) principles, and managing supplier controls for providers of constituent parts.

See how PBPK models combined with custom and off-the-shelf in vitro tools and solubility enhancement expertise can reduce the need for drug product reformulation or repeated preclinical or clinical studies.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event EDDOs Revisited: Putting Essential Drug Delivery Outputs Into Practice, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC uses a hypothetical case study for a meter dose inhaler (MDI) to demonstrate a template for identifying EDDOs.
