25_DDL_Regulatory_Reconnaissance_logo_color Human Factors: A Key Factor In Regulatory Approvals

In this article, combination product consultant Doug Mead demonstrates the practice and results of using GenAI search tools to conduct precedent research on Human Factors (HF) regulatory considerations. He illuminates query responses related to Complete Response Letters (CRLs), HF study waivers, use errors, critical tasks, and other aspects of FDA approvals for combination products and other delivery devices.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, outlines key management considerations for biopharma companies developing combination therapies. These include suppliers, partnerships, quality, container closure, and regulatory. 

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 regulatory movements of note. From his combination products and global operations leadership roles at FDA and now as regulatory consultant, panelist Barr Weiner points to global harmonization of regulatory definitions and requirements. Panelists Rumi Young and Fran DeGrazio weigh in on stability testing and specific ICH, ISO, and AAMI standards.

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.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, uses the example of a connected pen cap to discuss technology, patient, and market considerations at the intersection of drugs, devices, and data.
