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, Eying The Drug Delivery Regulatory Landscape: The 'Must See' Watch List For 2026, Chief Editor Tom von Gunden invites panelists Fran DeGrazio, Barr Weiner, and Rumi Young to identify and comment on their most important takeaways from their panel conversation. They point to platform thinking, post-market manufacturing, and the representation of combination products in regulatory guidances.

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 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. 

In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live online event, Innovations In Drug Delivery: Opportunities For Enhancing Familiar, Mature Approaches, host Fran DeGrazio and James Wabby, head of global regulatory affairs for emerging device technologies and combination products at AbbVie, ponder the discontinuation of Repatha® Pushtronex®. They comment on how its withdrawal may illustrate key market drivers and factors that bolster a product’s success or, alternatively, lead to its demise.
