In what ways are Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) different from design inputs for combination products? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC explains the difference.

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.

In a special episode of In Combination, host Tom von Gunden visits the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Nanomedicine Manufacturing Laboratory at Duquesne University. There, a professor and some graduate students share insights into the program’s focus on innovating nanoparticle formulation, manufacturing, and delivery. The coverage illuminates the role of academic, industry, and government partnerships in advancing the science and technology of nanomedicines toward clinical translation. 

Among the characteristics of a device design feature that helps identify it as an Essential Drug Delivery Output (EDDO) is “device dependent.” In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event The FDA Guidance on EDDO: What to Know, What to Do, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC explains the differences between the concepts of device-dependent versus device-independent and illustrates why only the former is applicable to an EDDO.
