Objectives

This education course is intended to provide guidance on the format, content and submission procedures for the pharmaceutical documentation of the quality of the drug substance for different types of dossiers, the CTD, the CEP and the European ASMF. In this context the consequences of the guidelines on Elemental Impurities (ICH Q3D (R1)) and genotoxic impurities (ICH M7) will be considered. Furthermore, the impact of the variations regulations will be discussed.

Participants will have the opportunity to choose 2 out of 3 parallel workshops:
  •  Stability studies and establishing a retest date
  •  Description of the manufacturing process
  •  Top ten deficiencies in new applications for Certificates of Suitability for chemical purity

Background

In Europe there are several ways to document the quality of the drug substance for the purpose of marketing authorisation:
  •  Certificate of Suitability of the pharmacopoeial monograph (CEP)
  •  Full details of manufacture (according to CTD Module 3 Quality of Drug Substance)
  •  European Active Substance Master File (ASMF; former Drug Master File, DMF)
  •  Other evidence of suitability of the pharmacopoeial monograph
In the US, the quality of the drug substance can be documented as part of the CMC Dossier or in a US-DMF.

Target Group

The education course is designed for all persons involved in the compilation of pharmaceutical dossiers for marketing authorisations who want to become familiar with the different ways to document the quality of the drug substance for the purpose of marketing authorisation in Europe. Furthermore, the course will be of interest to personnel from Quality Units of the medicinal products and the API industry.
