Recent policy changes for combination products, including new regulations and guidance, are improving the regulatory framework and process. Still, developers must keep up with rapid changes. That's one of several reasons R&Q is excited to contribute to this year's DIA Combination Products Conference.

The event will help industry get up to date on new FDA guidances, implementing the “one application” guidance for combination products, global regulatory changes, including the EU Medical Device Regulation implementation roadmap, the direction of global alignment efforts, and more.

Needless to say, it's right up R&Q's alley. We can't wait to share what we know and have experienced with attendees. We hope to see you there!
