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.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Courtney Evans, principal consultant at Suttons Creek, comments on drug delivery technology advancements, particularly around the challenge of greater reliability. Her commentary begins with the market introduction of epinephrine autoinjectors and moves to more recent advances in nasal spray alternatives.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Just Breathe: Increasing Efficacy And Expanding Targets With Inhalation Delivery, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden asks panelist Stephen Stein to discuss the current state of capabilities and advances in treating traditional respiratory indications via inhalation methods and devices. Stein highlights delivery system options and considerations for delivering biologics-based formulations. 

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.
