In April 2018, the FDA released guidance for quality consideration for pMDI and DPI affecting the inhalation approach to ANDA/NDA applications. This comes on the back of final FDA Guidance for Combination Products issued in January 2017, which defines a Combination Product as a product composed of two or more different types of medical products (i.e., a combination of a drug, device, and/or biological product with one another). There are three types of combinations products: single entity, co-packaged, and cross-labelled. The drug applicant therefore needs to demonstrate compliance with all cGMP regulations applicable to each of the constituent parts included in the Combination Product.
This webinar, hosted by Aptar Pharma, will provide guidance on how the 2018 guidance affects future submissions and summarize an overview on Combination Products FDA guidance focusing on respiratory and nasal drug products, specifically DPIs, pMDIs, and Nasal Sprays. With over 25 years’ experience supporting our customers’ regulatory submission and 100 successful NDAs and ANDAs, Aptar Pharma will share insights on optimal approaches to help secure approval in this changing and challenging regulatory landscape.
Outcome for Participants: Attendees will gain practical insights to navigate FDA expectations for device information in NDA and ANDA submissions for combination products in the context of the current guidance.
