Getting it Right Early - Where Drug, Device and Patient Experience Meet

This seminar is designed for biopharma companies involved in developing injectable therapies, specifically focusing on the transition from vials to prefilled syringes and integrated drug-device combination (DDC) products. It aims to provide essential knowledge for bridging the gap from clinical development to commercial success.

What to expect

• Expert insight across the full DDC journey, covering formulation, process development, container interactions, device functionality, human factors, and lifecycle management.
• Guidance on designing with the patient and future in mind, understanding how patient needs, usability, ergonomics, and sustainability influence device and packaging design.
• Comprehensive knowledge on testing, standards, and regulatory readiness, including ISO standards, testing strategies, batch release, and regulatory submissions for combination products.
• Direct access to SMEs and industry leaders to engage with experts, ask program-specific questions, and learn from leading drug-device platforms.
• Insights into program management for complex combination products, covering structured technical governance, managing dependencies, mitigating risk, and maintaining momentum across SFF, device assembly, packaging, and supply chain execution.
