ECA's weekly GMP Newsletter

[Dear Sir or Madam,

With this newsletter we would like to inform you about the following current GMP trends.

Your ECA Team

GMP Outlook for 2017 (Part 2)

There are many new developments and change notifications in the GMP area keeping the pharmaceutical industry busy, not least because many of the new requirements must be implemented soon. Read moe in our GMP Update Part 2.

GMP Webinar: Audit Trail Review

Data Integrity seems to be omnipresent througout the last couple of months. A significant number of deviation findings caused several authorities worldwide to draft and publish guidances: the US FDA in April 2016, the British MHRA in July followed by the PIC/S in August. The more important it is to be on top of what the authorities require. This webinar on Thursday, 16 February 2017, 15.00 – 16.30 h CET will thus provide you with the opportunity to get an update on the critical elements of Data Integrity and Audit Trail Review. To learn more please see the programme.

How important is "Data Governance" for your Company?

In August 2016, the PIC/S published the draft of the Guideline "Good Practices for Data Management and Integrity". Here, organisational measures and controls are required to review and assure the effectiveness of the internal data governance system. Read more about the PIC/S requirements for the pharmaceutical data governance systems.

Modern Validation - Case Studies

Join the ECA meeting on Modern Validation - Case Studies at 23-24 February 2017 in Hamburg, Germany, to find out in six case studies how companies implemented the new EU GMP validation requirements. Also, the differences to the FDA Process Validation Guidance will be discussed. Please see the programme for further information.

Serious FDA Warning Letter issued to European Manufacturer of sterile Drugs, Part 2

As a consequence of significant GMP violations, the US-American FDA issued an unusually serious Warning Letter to a Hungarian company on 13 October 2016. Serious also because the authority put this company on import alert until the violations are corrected. Learn more on the 2016 FDA Warning Letter to Teva Pharmaceutical Works Private Ltd.
