Track 10: Regulatory CMC and Product Quality
The Regulatory CMC and Product Quality Track provides a comprehensive view of risk- based approaches across the product lifecycle. The track scope spans from the scientific understanding gained through product and process development to lifecycle expectations for global regulatory CMC submissions, CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice), and quality systems. Sessions address the increasing regulatory complexity of development and manufacturing for worldwide markets, accelerated development timelines, new technologies, emerging regulations, and increased scrutiny of manufacturing operations and data.
This track is recommended for those in regulatory affairs, manufacturing, quality assurance, and quality control professionals involved in drug development and/or manufacturing for small molecule drugs, biologics, and vaccines.
Included Topic Areas
CMC expectations for dossiers, quality management system expectations, new technologies, patient-centered quality risk management of products, and ICH quality related guidelines (quality and management topics).
