What does the FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) mean for activities involved in preconditioning the device delivery components of combination products? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, Alan Stevens,  regulatory head of complex devices and drug delivery systems at AbbVie and formerly at FDA, discusses the likely intent and impact of EDDOs on preconditioning for both manufacturers and sponsor companies.

How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to CGMPs (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) during the design of a drug-led or biologic-led 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 establishes the connection between the two regulatory concepts.

How can genetic information be carried into lung tissue for the treatment of asthma and potentially other conditions? In this inaugural episode of In Combination, host Tom von Gunden combines the perspectives of two executives from LNP/mRNA (lipidoid nanoparticle / messenger RNA) formulation and delivery platform developer Ethris: CEO Carsten Rudolph and Chief Medical Officer Thomas Langenickel. The conversation illuminates the value to patients of platform approaches to inhalation-delivered treatments.

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 front-of-mind regulatory movements of note. From her role as Director of Regulatory Policy at Novo Nordisk, Rumi Young identifies the inclusion of combination products in FDA initiatives focused on combatting chronic diseases and improving patient accessibility. Panelists Barr Weiner and Fran DeGrazio weigh in.
