North Carolina Combination Products Meeting
04/09/2009 09:00:00 AM - 04/09/2009 06:00:00 PM

The first North Carolina Combination Products meeting focused on 
promoting emerging strengths across the drug, device and biologics 
sectors in the State

The traditional turf of the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and device 
worlds is rapidly blurring providing new approaches to prevention, 
therapy and disease management. This convergence is fueled by strategic 
alliances, economic trends and rapidly evolving science. Come and share 
your experience in the design, research or development phases of the 
science and business of Combination Products.

Combination products have the potential to offer greater benefit than 
drugs, devices or biologics on their own. While not new, it is a growing 
sector of the industry. The regulatory landscape for these products 
continues to evolve as increasingly sophisticated technologies merge. 
Drug coated coronary stents were a breakthrough for the field which is 
now fast expanding to include absorbable collagen sponge with engineered 
proteins, dermal substitutes, inhaled drug products, bone grafting 
materials, regenerative cells, wound healing gels and non-coronary 
devices with antimicrobial or drug coatings. Future products will 
include nanomaterials, sensors and miniaturized implantable combination 
products bringing together the engineering, materials, 
biotech/pharmaceutical and software companies to co-develop and test 
these products.
