Sustainable Design, Myth and Reality

Drug development, particularly of biologics can be expensive and run over several years. One of the challenges for formulation and clinical development teams is identifying devices for use in early formulation and clinical studies, where the performance characteristics and clinical safety are being assessed, without the device negatively influencing the results. Having a device platform that can be introduced into the formulation and clinical development as early as necessary with minimal impact on development timelines could go along way to simplifying the product development cycle.
