The ICH Secretariat announced the publication of the updated Q9(R1) Annex 1- Q8/Q9/Q10 Questions & Answers (R5) related to ICH Q9(R1) Quality Risk Management (QRM). The ICH Assembly approved the updated Annex on 30 October 2024.
The Q&As have been updated by removing outdated text and rephrasing the Q&As considered in view of the implementation of ICH Q8, Q9 and Q10, with minor additions to address minor content gaps in the document. Furthermore, minor edits have been made to improve the readability of the document.
Since reaching Step 4 and publication within the ICH regions, experiences by all parties with the implementation of the ICH Q8(R2), Q9 and Q10 Guidelines have resulted in the need for some clarification. The Questions and Answers developed by the Quality Implementation Working Group (IWG) are intended to facilitate the implementation of the Guidelines, by clarifying key issues.
Besides the core topics Pharmaceutical Development, Quality Risk Management, Pharmaceutical Quality Systems, the topic of Knowledge Management is further elaborated and how the implementation of ICH Q8, Q9, and Q10 has changed the significance and use of knowledge management.
