1. - Manufacturing facility assessments during COVID Pandemic, covering:
Introducing the changes to the manufacturing facility assessment to support application required in light of the COVID Pandemic
Insight into how the FDA CDER Office of Pharmaceutical Quality has evolved its approaches to continue manufacturing facility assessments
Recommendations to manufacturers for a successful remote manufacturing facility assessment
Commander Qiao Bobo, Division Director, Office of Pharmaceutical Quality, FDA/CDER
2. Emergency Use Authorization: Understanding a Regulatory Strategy Weapon Used to Battle a Pandemic, covering:
Describing EUA approaches developed by global regulatory health authorities
Understanding how EUA authority could be applied
Case studies: Application of EUA authority to combat COVID-19
Lynne Ensor, Vice President, RCS Head of Global Compliance, Parexel
3. Live, Stressed, and Dead Microorganisms – Their Role in Microbial Test Method Validation, covering:
The effects of different stress factors, i.e., heat, starvation, growth phase, extreme pH, osmotic stress, antimicrobial agents, etc. on representative microorganisms
These stress factors will be related to manufacturing processes and drug product attributes; simulating these stresses with candidate study protocols
Emphasising the continuum from repairable cell damage, loss of cell viability to cellular death
Reviewing the role of repair mechanisms to damage to cell membrane function, enzymatic activity, protein synthesis and nucleic acids in terms of the recovery and enumeration of microorganisms using growth and non-growth methods
A case will be made that use of stressed microorganisms as challenge organisms in method validation, suitability testing and growth production testing is not necessary
Dr. Tony Cundell, Principal Consultant, Microbiological Consulting, LLC
4. A Risk Based Cleaning and Disinfection Program, covering:
Addressing Cleaning and Disinfection as a critical component of a contamination control program during a pandemic
Discussing current regulations, disinfectant and sterilant technologies, and operator safety in-depth
Insight into global regulatory expectations: FDA, MHRA, ANVISA, ANMAT, HPRA, EMA, and ANSM
Assessing critical industry guidance documents: Annex I, USP 43 , PDA Technical Report #70
Best practices in designing an effective risk-based program and understanding current industry trends regarding cleaning and disinfection
Current industry FDA Warning Letters and FDA 483s
