Dr Joachim Ermer, Ermer Quality Consulting, Germany
Besides regulatory expectations, these Live Online Training Courses provide practical recommendations and orientation for demonstration of the on-going suitability of analytical procedures. A rational and efficient validation approach is ultimately based on the respective routine application, which should be reflected in the validation design. This includes the identification of the relevant performance parameters, the selection of appropriate tests and calculations and, in particular, the establishment of acceptance criteria for the evaluation.
Both trainings focus on the relevant performance characteristics, taking the - long-awaited - revision of the ICH Q2 guideline as well as the new Q14 guideline Analytical Procedure development into consideration. Lifecycle aspects will be included in the discussion.
According to EU GMP Guide Part 1, Chapter 6, Quality Control (6.15) and US 21 CFR 211.194, analytical procedures must be suitable for their intended purpose. The regulatory requirements to validation of analytical procedures utilised for release and stability studies of drug substances and drug products are described in the ICH guideline Q2(R1). However, its degree of detail is rather low, and the discussion is mainly focused on chromatographic methods. A broader consideration of other analytical techniques as well as alignment with lifecycle aspects is intended with the revision of Q2. The latter is also in the focus of the new ICH Guideline Q14 Analytical Procedure Development and is already content of the USP General Information Chapter <1220> The Analytical Procedure Lifecycle.
These Live Online Training Courses are aimed at executives and employees from Quality Control, Quality Assurance, and regulatory who want to gain a better understanding of the GMP requirements for validation of analytical procedures, are interested to participate in a discussion of the revised ICH guideline Q2, and who are interested in practical recommendations for an efficient design, execution, and evaluation of a successful analytical validation.
To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a streaming server. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily display.
Timing and Duration:
When you register for the on demand Training course or webinar you can decide at what date you want to follow the training course online. For a 1-day training course you will have 2 days in which the stream is available (for 2-day training course 3 days and for a 3-day training course 4 days). Within in this timeframe you can start & stop the stream according to your needs.
In time before the scheduled date (your desired date) you will receive an e-mail from us with a link for direct participation as well as your log-in data.
Please be aware: The recording does not include the Q & A sessions.
Training Course Documentation and Certificate:
The presentations will be made available as PDF files via download shortly before the online training course. After the event, you will automatically receive your certificate of participation.
