Description
This 2-day comprehensive course provides a broad overview
of the process of establishing specifications through various
development stages for drug products and drug substances
made by synthesis or by conventional fermentation. The
course focuses on the ICH approach for global harmonization.
Using practical examples, the importance of understanding
“real-life” constraints and regulatory requirements will be
highlighted. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate
in a hand-on-workshop to practice specification writing skills.
The latest activities of the ICH and pharmacopeial
harmonization relevant to setting specifications for drug
substances and drug products are reviewed. Strategies for
addressing Out-Of-Specification (OOS) findings will also be
discussed. There will be opportunities to meet with the
instructors and network with course participants. An open
and interactive learning environment is encouraged
throughout the course.
