INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES

inhaled-biologics-GettyImages-178032857 Inquiries In Inhalation, Part 2: Having A Nose For Innovation

In this follow-up article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden extends his Part 1 discussion of therapeutic targets for inhaled drugs and biologics into specific aspects of delivery innovation. Among the key considerations are particle engineering, device usability, and the coordination across the ecosystem of inhalation delivery design, development, and distribution. The coverage of advances in device technologies includes inhalers, nebulizers, and nasal sprays.

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.

In this episode of In Combination, Albana Thorpe and Max Lerman from the technical director team at drug delivery product development consultancy Suttons Creek discuss with host Tom von Gunden, chief editor at Drug Delivery Leader, considerations around supplier relationships in product development for combination products and other delivery devices. Albana and Max share perspectives on quality management, documentation, usability testing, regulatory pathways, post-market design changes, and other aspects of supplier controls. 

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, and James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, trace the evolution of drug delivery technologies over the last 100 or so years. The timeline illustrates the trajectory from the earliest prefilled syringes to the nanotechnologies and other advances of today.

How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to Design Controls during the design and development of a combination product? 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 illustrates how the concept of Design Outputs fits within the broader context of Design Controls.
