The increasing pressure on healthcare costs and resources, particularly for biopharmaceuticals requiring parenteral administration, highlights the need for efficient medical management. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of drug delivery technologies in enabling flexible care settings has gained widespread recognition. This approach allows patients and their caregivers to choose the location of drug administration based on individual preferences and capabilities, encompassing options such as dosing in clinics, supervised at-home dosing, and self-administration for eligible patients.

To address the challenges associated with parenteral administration, Formulation and Device Lifecycle Management of Biotherapeutics: A Guidance for Researchers and Drug Developers provides comprehensive guidance on improving drug delivery of biological medicines. The primary objective is to reduce dosing complexity and enhance patient experience and healthcare capacity. This resource is designed for multidisciplinary researchers and drug developers in the pharmaceutical industry, biotech companies, and academia involved in formulation and device development. It encompasses pharmacology and medical experts responsible for generating nonclinical and clinical data to support novel dosing regimens, as well as drug delivery scientists and engineers responsible for technical details of product optimizations. Additionally, professionals in market access and commercial functions can benefit from the discussions about the impact of patient and healthcare provider needs, as well as country-specific reimbursement models, on realizing a truly convenient, cost-effective, and resource-efficient drug delivery solution.
