INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Drug–Device Combination Products: Bridging Formulation, Device, And Manufacturing Decisions
Teams must assess the drug, the device, the manufacturing process, and the environment in which the product is used as an integrated system, not as separate parts.
INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY VIDEOS
In this unique episode of In Combination, series host Tom von Gunden, Chief Editor at Drug Delivery Leader, puts himself in combination with DDL Executive Editor Fran DeGrazio as the two share perspectives on drug delivery trends.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, uses the case of Enbrel® and the multiple delivery options for it to illustrate patient considerations and market factors that can impact product success.
An increasingly common obstacle to treating patients with infections is resistance to antibiotics. In this episode of Sit and Deliver, CEO William Colton of biologics platform delivery developer Paldara Pharmaceuticals talks with videocast host Tom von Gunden about infection-combatting alternatives using hydrogel-based systems to deliver bacteriophage viral therapeutics directly to infection sites.
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.
