Effective Document Management for the Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Medical Device Industries

If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen! This is the position of the FDA and most regulatory agencies internationally. Good documentation is vital for doing business in the regulated world from discovery through marketplace. It is also important for due diligence and regulatory inspections, and is necessary for the success of your products and services. While the regulations tell you what you must do, they don’t tell you how. Based on industry best practices, this course clarifies how to refine your existing system, create a new one, or prepare to transition from a manual system to electronic controls. This course also addresses what documents you need to control, what documentation you need to support your actual system and how to keep your documents current and compliant.

Analytical Method Validation for Biologics, Biopharmaceuticals and Other Therapeutic Products

Complex processes yielding complex products such as biologics and biopharmaceuticals demand numerous, non-compendial, and sometimes complex, QC test methods to confirm manufacturing consistency and product quality. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the international regulatory authority requirements and expectations for test method validation of these assays. This course will prepare attendees with the knowledge and tools to plan and execute test method validation packages for the NDA, BLA and MAA market application dossiers, covering in-process, release and stability assays commonly used by QC in biologic and biopharmaceutical companies. The course will cover validation of QC analytical test methods (e.g., electrophoretic, HPLC, peptide mapping, etc.), cell-based potency bioassays, immunochemical binding impurity assays and adventitious agent assays.
