    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.

    Moderator: Denyse D. Baker PE, RAC,  Senior Director of Regulatory Policy, AstraZeneca

    As biopharma companies work to deliver optimal solutions for patients, more drug and biologic products are coming to market in combination with delivery devices, wearable electronics, or mobile apps. The complexities of drug or biologic-to-device and patient-to-device interfaces create new risks that must be appropriately managed by manufacturers. This session will feature FDA and industry experts discussing current regulatory expectations, including the new U.S. FDA guidance on Post-market Safety Reporting, and practical examples of using risk information in the manufacturing and quality systems for combination products.

    Moderator: Steve R. Mendivil, BS,     Independent Consultant

    The FDA is using risk principles in several different programs including: Inspectional Risk Models, and Drug Shortage Program. Explore 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.

    Moderator: Jaap Venema, PhD, Chief Science Officer, U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP)

    Aseptic processes can be some of the most difficult processes to conduct in the pharmaceutical industry. If not properly controlled, aseptic processes present a significantly higher risk than terminally sterilization processes. An effective risk-management program is critical in the careful control of the process, reducing the risk of loss of sterility as well as ensuring a commensurate approach to risk management based on the potential risk to the patient. This session provides industry perspectives on the regulatory expectations, challenges and opportunities for improvement in controlling aseptic processing.
