Online Webinar 2019 - Sterile Filtration of Pharmaceutical Products - What you need to know to meet Validation and Regulatory Requirements

Overview
This webinar will include a detailed discussion of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO) Quality Agreement topics such as change control, documentation, facilities and equipment, lab controls, sub-contracting, etc. Attendees will learn how to comply with new FDA and EU guidelines for contract drug manufacturers.
Why Should You Attend
Control of suppliers such as Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO) has always been a requirement of the FDA and EU. With the issuance of these new regulatory documents the expectation is that there will be a written documentation of this control. Proof of this control can be presented to FDA / EU inspectors in the form of a Quality Agreement which is specific to a particular CMO.
This webinar will provide a thorough understanding of the content that is expected in Quality Agreements from a regulatory perspective. Each proposed section of a Quality Agreement is fully analyzed and suggested content is written with the new guidelines taken into consideration. Comparison of the two regulatory documents will be presented with differences highlighted and discussed. The latest status of the FDA draft guidance will be discussed and a review of comments from industry is included.
