In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden explores the need for and existence of cross-functional communication during drug product development and delivery device selection. He consults industry veterans with experience in various formulation or delivery roles at GSK and Merck. They identify the Target Product Profile (TPP) as the core concept guiding collaboration. 

INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY VIDEOS

In this unique episode of In Combination, series host Tom von Gunden, Chief Editor at Drug Delivery Leader, puts himself in combination with DDL Executive Editor Fran DeGrazio as the two share perspectives on drug delivery trends.

In this episode of Sit and Deliver, host Tom von Gunden talks with Merck VP of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Clinical Supply Allen Templeton about formulation and device considerations for combination products and other delivery systems deployed across a range of molecule types and sizes. The conversation takes them from small molecules, through peptides and mAbs, to large molecule biologics, across various routes of administration including oral, injectable, and inhalation.

In this videocast episode, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 14 of The Combination Products Handbook (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle, along with chapter coauthors Stephanie Goebel, Cherry Malonzo Marty, and Viky Verna. The group provides overviews of the commonalities and variances in regulatory definitions and guidances for combination products across global jurisdictions and agencies. 

To what extent are approaches to conducting risk assessments specified in the FDA URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) guidance? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, offers context-setting perspective on what FDA is looking for when reviewing URRA compliance.
