Drug–Device Combination Products: Bridging Formulation, Device, And Manufacturing Decisions
Teams must assess the drug, the device, the manufacturing process, and the environment in which the product is used as an integrated system, not as separate parts.

How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to CGMPs (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) during the design of a drug-led or biologic-led combination product? 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 establishes the connection between the two regulatory concepts.
In this episode of Sit and Deliver, host Tom von Gunden talks with Merck VP of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Clinical Supply Allen Templeton about formulation and device considerations for combination products and other delivery systems deployed across a range of molecule types and sizes. The conversation takes them from small molecules, through peptides and mAbs, to large molecule biologics, across various routes of administration including oral, injectable, and inhalation.
From his roles and experiences in the combination products and combined use systems arena, John “Barr” Weiner offers perspectives on how to approach pre- and post-market activities with regulatory requirements and guidance in mind. Cross-functional coordination, integrated development, and primary mode of action (PMOA) designations are among the considerations Barr reminds organizations to implement thoughtfully as they work to advance combination products within a regulatory landscape.
In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 12 on biologics delivery with chapter author Manfred Maeder and the book’s editor, Susan Neadle. Manfred and Susan comment on the challenges of moving large molecule formulations into combination products while considering product stability, usability, and supply chain.
