INHALATION DRUG DELIVERY ARTICLES
Does Drug Discovery Anticipate Delivery?
In this article, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden considers the relationship between drug discovery and drug delivery. His commentary includes reflections on conversations and encounters from the Discovery & Development US conference, where formulation and delivery topics were also in the air and on the agenda.

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 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, highlights the promise of using combination products and combination therapies to reach difficult targets with precision. Carolyn notes crossing the blood-brain barrier as an example of a key therapy delivery advance.
In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, Carolyn Dorgan, director of technical services at device design consultancy Suttons Creek, uses the case of Enbrel® and the multiple delivery options for it to illustrate patient considerations and market factors that can impact product success.
What does the FDA’s guidance on Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs) mean for activities involved in preconditioning the device delivery components of combination products? 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, discusses the likely intent and impact of EDDOs on preconditioning for both manufacturers and sponsor companies.
