Compare and Contrast FDA, Health Canada, ICH, USP and EP requirements
Review latest updates to include FDA, Health Canada, ICH, USP and EP requirements
Examine a variety of the issues surrounding raw materials to include what materials should be tested and to what extent during Phase 1, 2, 3 and commercial production.
Cover testing requirements during each Phase (Phase appropriate), to include microbial and endotoxin, and what may be optional (regulatory risk) until the product moves to its next Phase.
Determine what options exist - even within a Phase 2 or Phase 3 testing framework.
Discuss compendial vs. non-compendial testing and how to respond when no method is available.
Discuss how a 90 percent vs. a 90.0 percent minimum purity analysis can delay initiation of testing.
Explore the number of lots required for testing before reduced testing might occur and why some companies don't accept this route.
Review the use of individual samples vs. composite samples for testing.
Review packaging and storage requirements and their impact on in-coming materials to include both raw materials and API.
Explore ASQ testing to include how to choose attributes and sample size.
Determine when the ASQ vs. square root of N+1 is appropriate.
