patient talking to doctor-GettyImages-1667822839 Patient-Centric Drug Delivery: Do Possible And Preferable Always Align?

In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden discusses the alignment of drug delivery method with patient preference and need. He reflects on recent conversations in which he heard from experts in drug and delivery product development, as well as patients themselves, about patient-centric considerations such as safety, efficacy, usability, and convenience. The primary use case is the transition from clinically administered IV to subcutaneous injection, including self-administration.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event EDDOs Revisited: Putting Essential Drug Delivery Outputs Into Practice, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC uses a hypothetical case study for a meter dose inhaler (MDI) to demonstrate a template for identifying EDDOs.

In this episode of In Combination, Albana Thorpe and Max Lerman from the technical director team at drug delivery product development consultancy Suttons Creek discuss with host Tom von Gunden, chief editor at Drug Delivery Leader, considerations around supplier relationships in product development for combination products and other delivery devices. Albana and Max share perspectives on quality management, documentation, usability testing, regulatory pathways, post-market design changes, and other aspects of supplier controls. 

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 panelist Barr Weiner to describe the role of case study examples in defining and regulating combination products globally. Weiner makes the case for agreement about the science and technology being more important than commonality in terminology, Panelist Fran DeGrazio agrees.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, panelists Carolyn Dorgan and Courtney Evans from delivery device consultancy Suttons Creek talk with host Fran DeGrazio about factors creating challenges and opportunities in moving patients to on-body injectors (OBIs) and other wearable drug delivery systems.
