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.
Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising route for administering medications, but advancing to market can be a difficult journey. Learn about common development pitfalls and how to mitigate risk.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event New FDA QMSR: Its Role in Part 4 Compliance for Combination Products, DDL Executive Editor Fran DeGrazio asks consultants Laurie Auerbach of Compliance Prodigies and Ed Bills of Edwin Bills Consultant to identify which organization in a combination product manufacturing process are responsible for design controls – the sponsor company, the contracted component provider, or both.
In this episode of In Combination, the technical leadership team from device consultancy Suttons Creek joins host Tom von Gunden to discuss trends in the patient landscape driving innovation in drug delivery, including combination products and therapies. The conversation covers patient self-administration, emerging modalities, and key considerations in product development, regulatory pathways, and the supply chain.
