    P1: Opening Plenary
    Moderator: Tina S. Morris, PhD, Vice President, Scientific & Regulatory Affairs, Parenteral Drug Association

    The opening plenary brings together two compelling perspectives on the power and potential of risk management – across the international pharmaceutical space, as codified by ICH Q9, but also domestically as a tool employed by Federal Agencies. Dr. Janet Woodcock will discuss how the FDA currently views the application and future potential of risk management approaches – has the potential of QRM been fully realized, yet, and where are we on the journey to fully leverage the paradigms laid out in ICH Q9 and Q10? Thomas Stanton, Author of Public Sector Enterprise Risk Management, will provide a perspective on the journey of introducing and successfully establishing acceptance of ERM concepts in the federal government context.

    P2: The Global Perspective on QRM
    Moderator: Harold S. Baseman, Chief Operations Officer, ValSource, LLC

    There are good reasons and strong expectations for our industry to use QRM principles to make sound, informed, and better decisions related to the control of manufacturing processes, the prioritization of resources, and the supply of quality products. This session will explore current and on-going expectations, opportunities, challenges, and solutions for the use of QRM principles from the perspective and practical experience of health authority and industry experts.

    P3: Medical Device Combination Product
    Moderator: Denyse Baker,  Senior Policy Director, AstraZeneca

    As biopharma companies work to deliver optimal solutions for patients, more drug products are on the market in combination with delivery devices, wearable electronics, or mobile apps. The promise of this technology -- ease of use, better communication with physicians and giving more control to patients – is balanced against the increased complexity and potential for new risks resulting from the drug to device and patient to device interfaces. This session will feature FDA and industry experts discussing current regulatory expectations and practical examples of using risk information in the manufacturing and quality systems of combination products.

    1:15 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.
    Industry Representative Invited

    P4: Inspection Risk Models
    Moderator: Steve Mendivil,     Independent Consultant

    The FDA is using risk principles in a number of different programs including Inspectional Risk Models, Drug Shortage Program, and others. This session explores the risk principles being utilized and how those might be developed to focus FDA’s resources and efforts to assess and addressing quality and compliance issues at global manufacturing sites that impact patient safety and drug availability. The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry utilities metrics, assessments and other risk principles in preventing quality and drug shortage issues. This session explores how those can help prevent quality and drug shortage issues and how those might be shared with regulators to be considered a “low risk manufacturing site” and its potential benefits.
