The New Frontier of FDA Combination Products
| Description: |
Combination products have traditionally been identified as drug: device combinations packaged together as the same product (e.g. a drug eluting stent or an antibiotic infused material in a product). Today, the definition of “combination” product may extend to many other types of products which are used together. The need to explore the interactions between drugs and devices from different manufacturers appears to be increasing and future medical device and pharmaceutical companies may have an increasing need to partner and collaborate in bench, pre-clinical and clinical testing to determine the extent of drug/device interactions. This session will explore the question: “Does FDA consider EVERY drug that needs to be delivered in a device a ‘combination product’?”
This audio conference covers:
· An overview of the requirements and guidelines for combination products
· The interrelated roles of device design specifications and drug chemistry manufacturing and controls (CMC) when developing a drug and/or device designed to be used with the other..
· Developing proactive strategies to better position partnering medical device and pharmaceutical companies for discussions with the FDA for future drug: device (and biologic) combinations
