Microbiome: Ideas, Approaches, Regulatory, Integrative Technologies, and Future Directions
The microbiome is a little-understood aspect of human physiology. Microbiomes are found mainly in the gastrointestinal tract. However, simulation of microbiomes is increasingly needed to understand both the flora and fauna of microbial and its synthesis in modern biotechnology process systems.Flora and Fauna identification and speciation are part of this system, using either traditional incubation and..
Unlocking Manufacturing Effectiveness: Practical Strategies for Overcoming Production Constraints
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, being busy doesn’t always translate to being productive. Operations that appear smooth on the surface may in fact be stagnant—or even declining—in terms of output. The hidden culprit is often an overlooked constraint or bottleneck quietly limiting the entire system’s performance.In this session, industry expert José Ignacio Mora shares a practical approach in..
Basics of Clinical Trials
Useful for those entering the pharma industry or academics to understand how clinical trials are conducted. The study objectives, endpoints, entry criteria, study visits, evaluations, safety assessments, statistical considerations, manufacturing and compound supply, and regulatory considerations. The design of randomized, placebo studies can be open-label or blinded (single, double, or triple-blinded). ..
Stability Testing of Pharmaceutical Products from Regulatory Perspective
This webinar gives a fundamental knowledge of stability testing requirements for establishing storage conditions and expiration of pharmaceutical products.Stability data forms an important element of pharmaceutical regulatory submissions. This webinar will provide participants with the necessary knowledge to design and conduct stability studies that meet regulatory requirements. Also, they will be able..
Computer System Validation (CSV) Boot Camp
We will explore the best practices and strategic approach for evaluating computer systems used in the conduct FDA-regulated activities and determining the level of potential risk, should they fail, on data integrity, process and product quality, and consumer/patient safety. We will walk through the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach to validation, based on risk assessment, and will also discuss 2..
21 CFR Part 11 (Electronic Records/Signatures) Compliance for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA
The Webinar will focus on the importance of ensuring that electronic record/electronic signature (ER/ES) capability built into FDA-regulated computer systems meets compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. This includes development of a company philosophy and approach, and incorporating it into the overall computer system validation program and plans for individual systems that have this capability.Areas CoveredCompu..
5 Key Components of Good Manufacturing Practices to obtain cGMP certification
Pharmaceutical and other FDA-regulated industries are tasked with safely manufacturing products for people (or animals) around the world. The FDA has set specific requirements, known as cGMPs) for facilities to meet the standards for a product to be deemed safe, pure, and effective. Good Manufacturing Practices are critical to any organization that produces products for the public. This training will discus..
Analytical Method Validation and Transfer
This course provides guidance on how to perform QC analytical test method validations and transfers. One of the most critical factors in developing and marketing pharmaceutical drug substances and drug products is ensuring that the analytical methods used for analysis can generate valid data upon which business and regulatory decisions can be made. FDA, ICH and USP have each recognized the importance of thi..
Basic Validation Statistics for Non - Statisticians
In this program, we will discuss the common statistics tools and techniques used in validation. Through real world examples and interactive exercises, we will demonstrate the basic concepts of statistics and how to apply them to your validation projects. Discussion will center around measures of variance, sample distributions, and expressions of variance. The session will conclude with a discussion of the c..
Best Practices for Responding to a Form 483 Citation and/or Warning Letter Issued by FDA
FDA has substantial authority to oversee regulated companies and their operations. The primary purpose of FDA is to assure safe and effective products that will protect public health. Violations can have seriously adverse effects on products, and ultimately, on patients and consumers.The root of every company’s effort to defend its practices and products is through data and documentation, meaning both struc..
CAPA Best Practices and Pitfalls to Avoid
For at least the last 20 years, the CAPA systems have been the leading cause of audit findings (nonconformities) and FDA inspection findings (483s). And there’s no sign that things are getting any better.CAPA and CAPA-related findings include lack of documentation / documented evidence, lack of timeliness, root cause(s) not being identified, failure to show effectiveness of actions, and on and on. Bas..

Human error reduction in GMP manufacturing/floor
If you work in the GMP regulated industry you not only need to address human error deviations because they are an inconvenience, you must do it because the regulation requires it. The CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 Subpart B_Organization and Personnel Sec. 211.22 talks about the “Responsibilities of quality control unit.” and it states that “(a) There shall be a quality control unit that shall h..

Monitoring a Quality Laboratory to Prevent Non-Compliance
Everyone in a laboratory under compliance knows about 3-sigma out-of-control issues. Can the operation be monitored to avoid these? How? This webinar will cover the basic statistics of compliance and non-compliance and how to use a statistical approach to monitor the operation to ensure that it is under control and to see when a problem is arising, but before it is outside of 3-sigma.Learning ObjectivesMany..
