Closing Observations/Comments • Drug Delivery Applied Across Products/Pipeline
– ~40% apply DD technology (> trend)
• Injectables becoming majority of pipeline/focus – Injection based devices and delivery of biologics
• CDMO’s Becoming Centers for Technology/Product Development • Advances in Ophthalmic Technologies and Pipeline • Drug Delivery and Compliance Devices
– Continued development of devices across routes not just injection
• Needs Based Approach to DD Technology/Product Development – Right technology/route for right product – Opportunities exist outside biologics!!!
