Patient-Centric Drug Delivery: Do Possible And Preferable Always Align?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden discusses the alignment of drug delivery method with patient preference and need. He reflects on recent conversations in which he heard from experts in drug and delivery product development, as well as patients themselves, about patient-centric considerations such as safety, efficacy, usability, and convenience. The primary use case is the transition from clinically administered IV to subcutaneous injection, including self-administration.

In this initial episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, a chapter-by chapter videocast series introducing topics from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press, 2023), host Tom von Gunden discusses the book’s intent with its editor, Susan Neadle. The discussion focuses on the rationale for each chapter and the expert contributions of various chapter authors and co-authors.
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.
How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to Design Controls during the design and development of a 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 illustrates how the concept of Design Outputs fits within the broader context of Design Controls.
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.
