Overview
The PDA/FDA Joint Regulatory Conference offers the unique opportunity for you to join FDA representatives and industry experts in face-to-face dialogues. Each year, FDA speakers provide updates on the current state of efforts impacting the development of global regulatory strategies; while industry professionals from some of today’s leading pharmaceutical companies present case studies on how they employ global strategies in their daily processes.
Hear directly from FDA experts and representatives of global regulatory authorities, and take home best practices for compliance.
You won’t find this level of direct information exchange with FDA at any other conference!
PDA is also offering an exhibition during the conference, September 14-15. The PDA Training and Research Institute (PDA TRI) will host courses immediately following the conference, September 17-18, to complement what you learn at the meeting.

103 - Combination Products: Considerations for Entering a New Market 8 November 13.00-17.00What does it take for pharmaceutical, medical device, and biologics companies to enter the market of Combination Products (CP)? Using case studies and real-world problem solving techniques, you can learn from the successes and failures of those that have already undergone this process. The overlapping elements of traditional pharmaceutical product development stage gates, and medical device product development prescribed by design controls create challenges for development scientists, quality, regulatory, and operations professionals in the development of a CP.

This session will focus on:
  • Product development challenges
  • Impact and incorporation of product development aspects of medical device in a pharmaceutical product and pharmaceutical development in the medical device design control process
  • Regulatory submission considerations for CP
  • Business strategy for entering the CP market using a case study approach
  • A comprehensive understanding of the topic through a panel question and answer discussion
