Target Group
This training is aimed at executives and employees from Quality Control, Quality Assurance, and production who want to gain a better understanding of the GMP requirements as well as current discussions with respect to the lifecycle management of analytical procedures and are interested in practical recommendations for an efficient design, execution, and evaluation of a continuous analytical performance verification.
Objectives
Besides regulatory and compendial expectations, as discussed in the just published draft of a new USP General Information Chapter <1221> “Ongoing Procedure Performance Verification” this Live Online Training provides practical recommendations and orientation for demonstration of the continual suitability of analytical procedures across the analytical procedure lifecycle. In particular, efficient approaches will be presented to extract information and data from routine analysis. This will be illustrated with examples from quality control of chemical drug substances and biopharmaceuticals.
A comprehensive understanding of the real analytical performance is extremely helpful to identify, investigate and evaluate suspect (out-of-trend, OOT) or out-of specification (OOS) results as well as for a continuous process validation.
Background
According to the FDA-Guidance “Analytical Procedures and Methods Validation for Drugs and Biologics“ (2015), it should be continually assured that an analytical procedure remains fit for its intended purpose throughout its application. This includes an ongoing program for routine monitoring of analytical performance data, and the systematic evaluation of changes with the objective to evaluate regularly the need for optimization and revalidation, if needed. These activities belong to stage 3 of the analytical lifecycle management as discussed in the USP General Information Chapter <1220>. The ongoing performance verification is also discussed in the ICH Guideline Q14 “Analytical Procedure Development” (2023), and in the just published ICH Training Materials (Module 4 and 5).
