PDA EU00018 CMC Regulatory Compliance for Biopharmaceuticals

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Note PDA is committed to deliver safe and secure in-person events. In conjunction with the venue and vendors supporting our event, PDA strictly adheres to all national, provincial and local government regulations. PDA is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to update this information if required.

Biopharmaceuticals (recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, fusion proteins, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and biosimilars) are being developed by many companies whose Chemistry, Manufacturing & Control (CMC) teams have varying degrees of familiarity or experience with the regulatory requirements for these challenging products. Frequently the development of the CMC strategy is an afterthought.

This course will provide insights and practical guidance for the CMC teams to develop an appropriate cost-effective, risk-based CMC regulatory compliance strategy for the manufacture and control of biopharmaceuticals from early clinical stage development through market approval. The course emphasis will include FDA, EMA and ICH guidance.

Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:

  • Understand the importance and underlying principles of an effective CMC regulatory strategy for biopharmaceuticals to move their products through clinical development into the marketplace
  • Learn how to avoid major CMC delays in clinical development or market approval due to an ineffective CMC regulatory compliance strategy
