How to effectively and constantly manage and control raw materials and excipients for biological drug products and drug substances is a question that concerns pharmaceutical companies, contract laboratories as well as suppliers of raw materials. Therefore, ECA, EBE and APIC joined together to pick up this issue and support their members with useful guidance and support on quality control and management of raw materials.

The pharmaceutical industry's interest to move from batch to continuous manufacturing is clearly increasing. The ECA therefore invites pharmaceutical companies as well as equipment and system suppliers to an information exchange at the Continuous Manufacturing Conference in Barcelona. On 27/28 November 2018 we'll focus on technology, process control, quality assurance and regulatory approval for the continuous manufacture of solid dosage forms. Companies like Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer, TEVA, GSK und Hovione that already gained experience with continuous processes will present their approach. Exhibitors at this conference will have the opportunity to introduce new technologies in short presentations at the conference. Please note though, that space and presentation slots are strictly limited and are subject to ECA approval. You can find the detailed programme brochure and a form for the registration of a table top stand on ECA's webpage.
