Delivery Device Functional Scrutiny: Can You Pass (Without) The Test?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden considers the relationship between regulatory testing and the biopharma industry’s interest in leveraging drug delivery platform technologies to reduce regulatory burden in product development. Tom includes a conversation with guest columnist Doug Mead about waivers on testing in the context of FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs).

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, lays out the phases and key activities in the development of a combination product or combination therapy. She underscores the importance of integrated development when merging medicinal product development with delivery device development.
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 invites panelists Fran DeGrazio, Barr Weiner, and Rumi Young to identify and comment on their most important takeaways from their panel conversation. They point to platform thinking, post-market manufacturing, and the representation of combination products in regulatory guidances.
In what ways are Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) different from design inputs for combination products? 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 explains the difference.
In this videocast episode, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 14 of The Combination Products Handbook (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle, along with chapter coauthors Stephanie Goebel, Cherry Malonzo Marty, and Viky Verna. The group provides overviews of the commonalities and variances in regulatory definitions and guidances for combination products across global jurisdictions and agencies.
