Why Should You Attend: This course provides attendees with an understanding of the role that Quality Agreements and DMFs play in the FDA's regulatory approval process for drugs and biologics. The course will take participants through a step-by-step process of when Quality Agreements are appropriate, how they should be prepared, formatting, content and negotiations around the agreement. The DMF section will explain preparation and explain the types of information essential for any Drug Master File. Additionally, this course explains why "one size does not fit all" and emphasizes the importance of customizing DMFs in both preparation and maintenance for particular…

Why Should You Attend: This presentation begins with an overview of the biological self versus non-self mechanism resulting in the anti-drug response of biopharmaceuticals. The next section describes how to differentiate the risk associated with internal attributes of the drug from the risk derived from external factors. That guideline in conjunction with the latest industry recommendations and regulatory guidelines provides a logical approach to the risk strategy. The second-half of the presentation demonstrates how to use pre-clinical results to further characterize (but not predict) the immunogenicity response and utilize this information to be ready for adverse effects during clinical trials.…

This Bioassays webinar will systematically outline the steps needed to successfully transfer validated biological assays between GMP/GLP labs and also acquire non-validated assays for GMP/GLP development. Why Should You Attend: 50% of the drugs presently in discovery are biopharmaceuticals - these numbers lead to an "outsource or perish" philosophy for GMP/GLP development, validation and sample analysis. Unlike synthetic drugs requiring only straightforward analytical testing biopharmaceuticals require more elaborate assays to attain regulatory compliance. The industry has a significant underestimation of the discipline; skills and planning required to successfully transferring these assays. Naiveté in this area causes loss of precious time…
