Need A Drug Delivery Conversation Starter? Try Target Product Profile
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.

In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 4 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems with the book’s editor, Susan Neadle, and chapter co-author Mike Wallenstein. In the exchange, Susan and Mike share their perspectives on combination product CGMP’s, including regulatory definitions and differences in the U.S. and Europe, supplier controls, design controls, and manufacturer responsibilities.
Learn about new data on nanotechnology formulations for multiple dose forms and routes of delivery, including oral, long-acting injectables, inhalation, and ophthalmic.
Among the characteristics of a device design feature that helps identify it as an Essential Drug Delivery Output (EDDO) is “device dependent.” In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC explains the differences between the concepts of device-dependent versus device-independent and illustrates why only the former is applicable to an EDDO.
After Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) have been identified, each will need to be controlled during the development of a drug delivery device. In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC provides the rationale for a risk-based approach to EDDO control strategies.
