Both a URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) and IFU (Instructions for Use) can help to mitigate the risk of user misuse of a combination product. 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 rationale for starting and conducting the URRA ahead of developing or finalizing IFU.
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 invites panelists Fran DeGrazio, Barr Weiner, and Rumi Young to identify and comment on their most important takeaways from their panel conversation. They point to platform thinking, post-market manufacturing, and the representation of combination products in regulatory guidances.
In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 8 on post-market lifecycle management from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle, and chapter co-author Khaudeja Bano.
What types of products in development may need to be assessed in accordance with the FDA’s 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, Natalie, Abts, head of human factors engineering at Genentech, describes several common scenarios that illustrate when a URRA approach may or may not be needed.
