Stability Testing for Biological/Biotechnological Drug Substances and Drug Products - Online Training Recording

The active components in biotechnological/biological products are typically proteins and/or polypeptides. They have distinguishing characteristics to which consideration should be given in any well-defined testing program designed to confirm their stability during the intended storage period. The products are particularly sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature changes, oxidation, light, ionic content, and shear. In order to ensure maintenance of biological activity and to avoid degradation, stringent conditions for their storage are usually necessary.

The evaluation of stability may necessitate complex analytical methodologies. Appropriate physicochemical, biochemical and immunochemical methods for the analysis of the molecular entity and the quantitative detection of degradation products should also be part of the stability program.

In order to get the approval to conduct a clinical trial data have to be presented on the biological, chemical and pharmaceutical quality of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP). In the new Guideline on the Requirements for Quality Documentation Concerning Biological Investigational Medicinal Products in Clinical Trials particular provisions are laid down on how to document stability and other quality related data within the CTD structure.

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.
