This medical device training will guide you through Combination products and overview of clinical benefits, regulatory issues and manufacturing challenges. Medical products, no matter how well designed, can only do so much to address many of the clinical problems today. In order to tackle the clinical problems of the future, medical devices will be used in combination with drugs and biologics (called combination products) to treat a wide range of diseases from heart attack and stroke to Alzheimer’s and diabetes and beyond!

Despite the controversy, the best known example of a combination product is the drug-eluting stent. However, the drug-eluting stent is also an extremely primitive example of a combination product. The quintessential example of a combination product is tissue engineering. Why? Because we have cells (biologics) producing proteins (biotech drugs) growing on polymer substrates (medical devices).
It’s hard to imagine more of a combination product than that - or can we? During this two-part interactive workshop, participants will be exposed to examples of combination products on the market, under development and on the drawing board.

- What Attendees will Learn
- What precedent exists for combination products, i.e., drug-device, biologic-device, drug biologic and device-drug-biologic product examples?
- Must combination products involve only drugs, biologics and medical devices? What about pharmaceutical-nutraceutical and medical device-nutraceutical combinations?
- What are the manufacturing challenges of combination products, i.e., sterility, shelf-life, packaging, etc.?
- What can we learn from drug-eluting stents?
- How does the future of combination products look? i.e., case studies in nanotechnology, tissue engineering and beyond!
