Drug-Device Safety
Harmonize Global Compliance and Strategic Development
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, a delivery device is more than a container, it is a critical component of the drug product’s safety and efficacy profile. Navigating the overlapping regulations for combination products is complex, as requirements are rarely harmonized across global markets. SAXOCON provides a unified strategy to align device characterization with your drug development milestones, preventing redundant testing and ensuring a smooth path to approval.
SAXOCON provides a cost-effective roadmap to bridge the gap between drug and device development, including:
- Integrated Development Planning:
Synchronizing device test strategies with drug product stability and clinical activities to justify the overall safety case. - Material and Interface Characterization:
Expert screening of delivery components to ensure chemical and biological compatibility with the drug substance. - Regulatory Advocacy: Strategic assistance during scientific advisory meetings to address combination product requirements with the FDA (CDER/CBER) and EMA.
- Analytical Oversight:
Selecting qualified laboratories and monitoring Extractables and Leachables (E&L) studies specifically for the drug-device interface. - Toxicological Risk Assessment:
Final data analysis to confirm that the combination product meets all safety requirements for human use.
