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).

Stephen Stein, scientific director of inhalation products at Kindeva, joins Supplier Horizons host Tom von Gunden in a discussion of opportunities and challenges for inhalation product development. The topics discussed include ensuring bioequivalence in generics, reducing environmental impact from propellants, and advancing inhalation-based delivery of vaccines and combination therapies.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Eying The Drug Delivery Regulatory Landscape: The 'Must See' Watch List For 2026, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Barr Weiner to describe the role of case study examples in defining and regulating combination products globally. Weiner makes the case for agreement about the science and technology being more important than commonality in terminology, Panelist Fran DeGrazio agrees.

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, Eying The Drug Delivery Regulatory Landscape: The 'Must See' Watch List For 2026, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks the panel to comment on regulatory challenges and considerations for traditional drug product pharma companies moving into combination product development. Patient centricity, device expertise, and supplier relationships are among the topics identified.
