Informa Life Sciences are delighted to announce our upcoming Successfully Implementing PAT and QbD conference taking place on Wednesday 15 - Thursday 16 September 2010 in the NH Jolly St Ermins, London, UK.
The pharmaceutical industry is now investing more heavily in PAT and working towards full implementation and QbD. However, there seems to be little clarity on how to practically implement the concepts of PAT and its relationship to QbD. Industry are still facing technical and organisational difficulties in applying these tools and strategies. Our conference will provide a practical look at how to implement PAT and QbD in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry – it will be a case study focused programme – outlining examples of real successes and failures of PAT applications. Delegates will learn how to improve process understanding and control, and how this will lead to the promised benefits and ROI of PAT and QbD.
Applying QbD Principles - From Development, Registration and Beyond - A Case Study Example
The workshop is meant to give not only an introduction into Quality by Design, but also an integrated picture of its application throughout a product’s lifecycle. The format chosen is that of a case study, artificially synthesized from real life examples to demonstrate how the following elements may interlink: control strategy, criticality, CTD, design space, PAT, Design of Experiments, pharmaceutical development, real time release, regulatory flexibility, risk management and target product profile.
Evening Seminar: Use of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in a Pharmaceutical Environment
As ICH Q10 Guideline for a Pharmaceutical Quality System gains momentum within the industry, this seminar will introduce how SPC can address terms such as variability, capability, process, understanding and continuous improvement. The seminar will involve getting to grips with the basic concepts of statistical process control and will show case studies from the pharmaceutical industry.
Workshop Leader:
