Objectives

Part III of the Impurities Forum will cover the key aspects of determining, analysing and assessing genotoxic impurities.

You will learn
What authorities expect and how they assess genotoxic impurities
How TTC levels of genotoxic impurities can be determined for different dosage forms
Which methodologies can be applied to predict potential genotoxic impurities
The key aspects to be considered when dealing with mutagenic impurities
How to implement the requirements of ICH M7 from a quality and safety perspective

Background

Potential genotoxic impurities may arise from several sources. They may be generated as by-products in chemical synthesis or as degradants during storage. Therefore the determination of such impurities, their toxicological assessment and the establishment of acceptable limits is absolutely essential with respect to patient safety. Special guidance in terms of quality and safety risk management and assessment is provided by the EMA “Guideline on the Limits of Genotoxic Impurities” and the ICH M7 Draft Consensus Guideline on “Assessment and control of DNA reactive (mutagenic) impurities in pharmaceuticals to limit potential carcinogenic risk”.

Target Group

The conference addresses all personnel involved in development of drug substances and drug products from scientific staff to laboratory heads involved in R&D. The needs of Laboratory Managers, Supervisors and Analysts in pharmaceutical quality assurance and quality control departments will also be covered.
