About the Topic

As defined by FDA, combination products are therapeutic and diagnostic products that combine drugs, devices, and/or biological products. The Agency expects to receive large numbers of combination products for review as technological advances continue to merge product types and blur the historical lines of separation between FDA’s medical product centers, which are made up of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).

As Drug/Device combination products typically involve components that would normally be regulated under different types of regulatory authorities, and frequently by different FDA Centers, they raise challenging regulatory challenges. Differences in regulatory pathways for each component can impact the regulatory processes for all aspects of product development, such as preclinical testing, marketing applications, manufacturing and quality control. This symposium will cover some of these challenges faced in the development of drug/device combination products presented by speakers from Industry, FDA and Contract Research Organizations.

Paul L. Feldman joined Glaxo Pharmaceuticals, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina in 1987 after receiving his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. From 1987-1995 Paul worked on a variety of drug discovery programs one of which led to the discovery of the marketed ultrashort-acting analgesic opioid agonist remifentanil (Ultiva). In addition, he and academic collaborators worked on the biochemistry of nitric oxide production and first demonstrated that N-hydroxyarginine is an intermediate in the biosynthesis. From 1995-2000 Paul’s department worked on the discovery of antiviral agents for treatment of HIV and HSV. One of the highlights during this period was the discovery of the marketed HIV protease inhibitor, fosamprenavir (Lexiva/Telzir). In 2000 Paul became Vice President of Chemistry for the Metabolic and Viral Diseases for GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Pharmaceuticals. His group discovered three assets, the HIV integrase inhibitor dolutegravir (Tivicay and component of Triumeq) approved in 2013 (Tivicay) and 2014 (Triumeq) for HIV treatment, cabotegravir, currently in the regulatory submission phase for HIV treatment and in phase 3 for HIV prevention, and the ultrashort-acting benzodiazepine, remimazolam (outlicensed, Paion), currently under regulatory review in the United States, Japan, and China. In 2010 Paul was named Senior Vice President and his responsibilities included leading the Enteroendocrine Discovery Performance Unit, part of GSK’s Metabolic Pathways Cardiovascular Unit, and leader of GSK’s R&D Medicinal Chemistry Center of Excellence. The Enteroendocrine Unit focused on the discovery and early stage development of optimized combination peptide hormones, luminally restricted small molecules, and GRAS potentiators to treat diabetes and obesity. Several of these agents advanced into phase 2 clinical studies. In 2015 Paul left GSK and helped co-found and was CEO of the biotechnology company, Phoundry Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which was focused on discovering peptide hormone therapeutics. In September, 2015 Phoundry was acquired by Intarcia Therapeutics, Inc. Paul currently is Head of Discovery and Translational Medicine and part of the executive management team of Intarcia. His Intarcia Discovery and Translational Medicine team is providing scientific and regulatory support for the investigational type 2 diabetes medication ITCA 650, a GLP-1 agonist, exenatide, delivered every 3 to 6 months via an osmotic mini-pump. Additionally, his team is progressing Intarcia’s pipeline assets in the following therapy areas: metabolic and HIV (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in the developing world with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation).

Paul is a member of Abbvie’s Chemistry Advisory committee (2018-present), has served as an adjunct Professor of Chemistry, Duke and North Carolina State Universities, chair of Heterocyclic Compounds Gordon Research Conference (2000), member at large (2000-2003) and alternate councilor (2012-2014) to the Executive Committee in the Division of Organic Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, and chair of the Division of Organic Chemistry Fellowship Evaluation Committee (2003).
