Examine challenges and key considerations for spray-dried formulations for inhalation, along with a review of current technologies and approved products utilizing particle engineering approaches.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, host Fran DeGrazio and James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, ponder the discontinuation of Repatha® Pushtronex®. They comment on how its withdrawal may illustrate key market drivers and factors that bolster a product’s success or, alternatively, lead to its demise.
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 segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Courtney Evans, principal consultant at delivery device consultancy Suttons Creek and formerly at FDA, provides an overview of the evolution of regulations and standards that have been developed for and/or applied to drug delivery technologies over the years.
