In this podcast, Gerardo Gomez talks about the interactions between validation and technology transfer, considering the views and expectations of the regulators. As Gerardo explains, technology transfer is really a very sophisticated and complex project management activity and therefore needs to be carefully planned to avoid discrepancies or deviations from the regulations.

Early access programs are designed to allow patients suffering from a life-threatening unmet medical need or disease to be given promising treatments that have not yet received marketing approval. Examples of these types of programs include named patient programs, which are for a specific patient suffering from a rare, ultra-rare or life-threatening disease, and cohort programs, where patients with the same disease have been identified.

Technology transfer involves two main types: scale-up and transfer to a different site. Scale-up technology transfer involves moving a technology or process from a laboratory or pilot-scale environment to a larger production scale. Transfer to a different site involves relocating a technology or process from one location or organization to another. Listen to the podcast to learn more about technology transfer and important considerations for success.

Market access can be a big hurdle for companies to overcome and might require a different approach to the process of gathering evidence to support reimbursement discussions. Early phase modeling can help to inform feasibility of future adoption, the product development program, support investor communication, and sometimes even to inform decisions on whether to pursue product development or not. The podcast explores early phase modeling, what it is and why it’s becoming a key component in reimbursement and patient access.

Combination products offer unique advantages in terms of delivering improved therapeutic outcomes or enhanced patient convenience. Typically, combination products are understood to be a drug-device or biologic-device combination. The regulatory strategy as to which center at the FDA has jurisdiction over product approval depends on their primary mode of action. Listen to the podcast to learn more about combination products and how they are regulated.
