Delivery Device Functional Scrutiny: Can You Pass (Without) The Test?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden considers the relationship between regulatory testing and the biopharma industry’s interest in leveraging drug delivery platform technologies to reduce regulatory burden in product development. Tom includes a conversation with guest columnist Doug Mead about waivers on testing in the context of FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs).

How can genetic information be carried into lung tissue for the treatment of asthma and potentially other conditions? In this inaugural episode of In Combination, host Tom von Gunden combines the perspectives of two executives from LNP/mRNA (lipidoid nanoparticle / messenger RNA) formulation and delivery platform developer Ethris: CEO Carsten Rudolph and Chief Medical Officer Thomas Langenickel. The conversation illuminates the value to patients of platform approaches to inhalation-delivered treatments.
In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 7 on human factors engineering (HFE) from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the chapter’s co-authors.
COVID-19 and other viruses have drawn increased attention to the debilitating effects and potentially consequential underlying causes of hyposmia or anosmia (reduced or complete inability to smell). In this episode of Sit and Deliver, Rick Geoffrion, founder and CEO of regenerative medicine company Cyrano Therapeutics, talks with Sit and Deliver host Tom von Gunden about why an effective therapeutic response may well involve – you guessed it – a payload through the nose.
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.
