INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Improving Execution Of Biological Evaluation Of Drug Delivery Devices
This article provides a framework to streamline the biological safety assessment process, reduce testing burdens, and improve patient safety for combination products.
INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY VIDEOS
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.
How do Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) differ from Primary Functions – for example, as described in ISO 11608 regarding needle-based injection systems? 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, describes the differences between the two concepts, including how they differently relate to considerations of risk.
In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 2 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor and Chapter 2 author, Susan Neadle. Considering both product development and the global regulatory landscape, the discussion focuses on answers to the question posed by the chapter title, “What Is a Combination Product?”
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Just Breathe: Increasing Efficacy And Expanding Targets With Inhalation Delivery, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Geraldine Venthoye about innovations in inhalation formulation and delivery for enabling expanded and precision therapeutic targeting. Venthoye points to key aspects of particle science and payload release, as well as the need for advanced analytical tools.
