Overview
October 14: Primer
October 15-16: Conference
Combination products, comprised of a drug, generic, or biologic and device, are a rapidly growing segment of the biopharmaceutical and device industry. The convergence of innovative medicines such as advanced cell and molecular biological products (Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products or ATMPs), materials science advances, and the development of digital therapies and applications, is driving a rapid expansion of novel applications to better meet patient needs.
The use of combination products in these novel therapies has a growing impact on regulatory and the development of science. Many regulatory challenges arise as new product types intersect with previously distinct development and approval pathways. The good news is that recent and ongoing improvements in the regulatory framework and process are leading to better access to new combination products for patients. But development challenges and regulatory questions continue to emerge as combination product sciences advance.
DIA’s Combination Products Conference is a premier forum where industry and regulators dialog on today’s best answers to key questions:
- How can new and emerging regulatory tools be used to best advance combination product development and approval?
- How can the regulatory framework for combination products be continuously improved?
- How can new technologies and novel approaches be used to realize opportunities in the developmental of new therapies to meet patient needs?
