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.

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.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, discuses critical components of an integrated regulatory strategy for advanced therapy product development.
Both a URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) and IFU (Instructions for Use) can help to mitigate the risk of user misuse of a combination product. In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, offers rationale for starting and conducting the URRA ahead of developing or finalizing IFU.
To what extent are approaches to conducting risk assessments specified in the FDA URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) guidance? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, offers context-setting perspective on what FDA is looking for when reviewing URRA compliance.
