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 online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, host Fran DeGrazio asks panelists James Wabby of biopharmaceutical company AbbVie and Carolyn Dorgan and Courtney Evans of device consultancy Suttons Creek to comment on trends and advances they anticipate in the next phase of delivery development. Those include combination therapies, nanotechnology, reconstitution, and microfluidics.

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.

In this episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, host Tom von Gunden discusses Chapter 3 of The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press) with the book’s editor Susan Neadle. The conversation focuses on building into product development a regulatory strategy that incorporates key enablers of market success from early clinical studies, through the marketing application, to post-market changes.

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Next-Gen Drug Delivery: Rethinking Routes For New Therapies, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, lays out the phases and key activities in the development of a combination product or combination therapy. She underscores the importance of integrated development when merging medicinal product development with delivery device development.
