frankly-fran-better Design Controls For Drug Delivery Devices, Part 1: A Process Primer

In this article, Fran DeGrazio underscores the importance of design controls in the development of combination products and other drug delivery devices. She explains foundational concepts and fundamental steps including design inputs and outputs, design verification and validation, design review, and change controls.

Why does the FDA’s new guidance on drug-led or biologic-led device design include a change in terminology from Essential Performance Requirements (EPRs) to Essential Drug Delivery Outputs (EDDOs)?  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, offers his perspective on how the change in terminology clarifies key concepts related to design controls.

In this initial episode of The Combination Products Handbook: The Series, a chapter-by chapter videocast series introducing topics from The Combination Products Handbook: A Practical Guide for Combination Products and Other Combined Use Systems (CRC Press, 2023), host Tom von Gunden discusses the book’s intent with its editor, Susan Neadle. The discussion focuses on the rationale for each chapter and the expert contributions of various chapter authors and co-authors.

How are EDDOs (Essential Drug Delivery Outputs) related to CGMPs (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) during the design of a drug-led or biologic-led combination product? In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event EDDOs Revisited: Putting Essential Drug Delivery Outputs Into Practice, consultant Susan Neadle of Combination Products Consulting Services, LLC establishes the connection between the two regulatory concepts.

Both uFMEA (Use Failure Mode Effects Analysis) and URRA (Use-Related Risk Analysis) tools are available during combination product development for conducting risk assessments related to human factors. In this segment of the Drug Delivery Leader Live event Human Factors Risk Analysis: Leveraging URRA And UFMEA Tools, Natalie, Abts, head of human factors engineering at Genentech, and Shannon Hoste, chief scientific officer at Pathway for Patient Health, discuss scenarios in which a uFMEA might be used to inform a URRA regulatory submission.
