What it covers
The Combination Products Conference is themed "Driving Engagement and Exploring Innovation for Combination Products" this year, per the organizer's own event page. Its program is curated by a Strategic Committee of volunteers, which the organizer says is built to keep the content relevant to the combination-products community — and that committee includes participation from FDA's Office of Combination Products (OCP), the office that assigns and coordinates review of drug-device, biologic-device and drug-biologic combinations. A detailed, session-by-session agenda was not published as of this listing's verification date.
Who should attend
Regulatory affairs, quality and clinical staff at manufacturers of drug-device, biologic-device and drug-biologic combination products, along with the FDA and industry reviewers who work OCP's assignment and review pathways. For a different combination-products format, see RAPS's single-day virtual workshop on complex devices, CATMPs and combination products delivery, or PDA's Annex 1 Implementation Workshop for another hands-on, in-person format this season.
