March 28 Combination Products Seminar




More than 100 attendees gathered at MassMEDIC’s March seminar, “Combination Products: Who Regulates Them, What are the Market Opportunities, and are They Worth It?” to hear case studies in obtaining regulatory approval and reimbursement for combination medtech products. Moderated by Mark Heller, a partner at WilmerHale who is known as the “father of food and drug law”, the session featured an expert panel whose representatives have been responsible for more than 50 percent of all approved PMAs.

Attendees also heard from the CEO of CorNova Inc., a start-up company that has taken the unique step of pursuing a combination product as its first technology.
