Human Factors: A Key Factor In Regulatory Approvals
In this article, combination product consultant Doug Mead demonstrates the practice and results of using GenAI search tools to conduct precedent research on Human Factors (HF) regulatory considerations. He illuminates query responses related to Complete Response Letters (CRLs), HF study waivers, use errors, critical tasks, and other aspects of FDA approvals for combination products and other delivery devices.

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.
The discussion highlights key aspects of a biopharma organization’s business and operations that must be effectively integrated when developing drugs and devices in tandem. These include imperatives such as establishing common terminology, applying QbD (Quaility by Design) principles, and managing supplier controls for providers of constituent parts.
In this unique episode of In Combination, series host Tom von Gunden, Chief Editor at Drug Delivery Leader, puts himself in combination with DDL Executive Editor Fran DeGrazio as the two share perspectives on drug delivery trends.
How do Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) differ from Primary Functions – for example, as described in ISO 11608 regarding needle-based injection systems? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, Alan Stevens, regulatory head of complex devices and drug delivery systems at AbbVie and formerly at FDA, describes the differences between the two concepts, including how they differently relate to considerations of risk.
