New USP & FDA Approaches for HPLC
Speakers
Dr Joachim Ermer, Sanofi, Germany
Dr Manfred Fischer, SkyePharma (member of Vectura Group), Switzerland
Dr Bob McDowall, R D McDowall Ltd., UK
Dr Christine Mladek, Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany
Objectives
The purpose of this course is to provide attendees with practical information to perform and manage HPLC analyses within GMP-/FDA-regulated environments of the pharmaceutical industry. The course content includes the latest information on USP with proposed approaches on HPLC method development, validation and continued verification and the proposed in-process revision to USP <1058> on Analytical Instrument Qualification (AIQ).
Quality by Design throughout the life of an analytical procedure is the new approach to method development and validation. The USP will be writing <1220> to complement <1224>, <1225> and <1226>. ICH Q2(R1) is also due to be updated as a consequence. The FDA method validation guidance issued in 2015 includes a section on lifecycle management, as well as the amendment of USP <1225>.
Data falsification and fraud as a result of poor data management practices and manipulation of chromatography data system (CDS) files continues to be a major regulatory topic. It is not confined to India and China but a global issue. Data management includes generating “complete data” to comply with 21 CFR 211 but also good chromatographic integration practices – when can manual integration be performed and when can’t it? What measures should GMP regulated analytical laboratories have in place to ensure the integrity of their chromatographic data? The course will include the latest FDA, WHO and MHRA guidance on the subject and other guidance documents due to be published.
Background
High performance liquid chromatography is a key analytical technique used in nearly all analytical laboratories in the pharmaceutical industry. As such it is regulated with sections in all of the major pharmacopoeias (Ph.Eur., USP, etc.) as well as the subject of an FDA reviewer guidance document. However, HPLC and the associated CDS applications are also the source of some major non-compliances involving falsification and fraud. Therefore attendees will be given practical advice on ways to ensure chromatographic data integrity.
This HPLC course will deal with helping attendees understand the latest USP and FDA requirements for the successful application of HPLC in a regulated GMP laboratory.
The emphasis will be on the following issues:
- QbD method development and validation including understanding and trouble-shooting problems
- Analytical Target Profile (ATP) as focal point of the lifecycle approach
- Sampling practices and pitfalls
- Sample preparation for HPLC
- Latest enforcement issues and lessons for CDS
- Understanding the proposed USP <1058>
- Transitioning from HPLC to UPLC
- USP and EP system suitability tests
- Monitoring and trending of HPLC performance parameters
- Chromatographic integration in an GMP context
- Better working to avoid OOS investigations
- Fast and efficient validation of a CDS
- Defining and protecting CDS electronic records
- Understanding the requirements for complete data, raw data and primary analytical record
Target Group
This course is intended for experienced chromatographers, HPLC Laboratory supervisors, QC Laboratory Managers and employees in Quality Assurance.
