In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, underscores the importance of cascading business and regulatory strategies for advanced therapies and delivery products throughout the organization’s quality management systems.
In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 3 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle. The conversation focuses on building into product development a regulatory strategy that incorporates key enablers of market success from early clinical studies, through the marketing application, to post-market changes.
What types of products in development may need to be assessed in accordance with the FDA’s URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) guidance? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Natalie, Abts, head of human factors engineering at Genentech, describes several common scenarios that illustrate when a URRA approach may or may not be needed.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Just Breathe: Increasing Efficacy And Expanding Targets With Inhalation Delivery, panelists David Morton, Geraldine Venthoye, Stephen Stein, and Nani Kadrichu comment on the current state of innovation, platform technologies, supplier consolidation, and the role of CDMOs in the inhalation drug delivery industry.
