Analytical Methods Validation for FDA Compliance ID: 1887 Offering #: 0809-201

September 8–10, 2008 • Burlingame, CAWho Should Attend: This course is intended for individuals who have the responsibility for establishing theintegrity of analytical methods for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or finished pharmaceutical dosageforms. This course will benefit individuals in:• R&D • Quality Control • Technical Operations • Quality AssuranceRegulatory affairs personnel responsible for the review of such data will also benefit from this course.

Course Summary: One of the most critical factors in developing and marketing pharmaceutical drug sub-stances and drug products today is ensuring that the analytical methods used for analysis can generate validdata upon which business and regulatory decisions can be made. FDA, ICH and USP have each recognizedthe importance of this to the drug development process and have separately expanded method validationrequirements in recent years. However, with only limited guidance, industry has been left to interpret how toadequately comply with the regulations. Whether involved in method development, method validation, method optimization or method transfer, thiscourse will provide a broad understanding and “hands-on” knowledge of the method validation process andthe difficulties encountered in validating methods to comply with today’s upgraded FDA CDER requirements.Lectures will include not only theoretical basis and practical applications, but actual validation examples ofHPLC, GC, UV/Vis, AA, and titration methods for small organic molecules. Some of the more commonmathematical and statistical treatments of validation data will also be discussed. Because of the tremendouseffort that can be expended in conducting validation studies, efficiency of experimental design and documen-tation will be stressed throughout the discussions.Although the general principles in this course may be applied to methods for testing biological molecules andmedical devices, the focus of this course is on the validation of methods for the analysis of small molecules.

July 14–15, 2008 • Burlingame, CA September 15-16, 2008 • New Brunswick, NJWho Should Attend: This basic introductory course is designed for individuals responsible for documenta-tion writing and management in the pharmaceutical and related industries. The course will benefit individualsin a variety of functions such as:• Quality Assurance • Regulatory • Quality Control • Production• R&D • Product Development • Toxicology • Vendors/Suppliers• Clinical Research • CRO’s

Course Summary: FDA regulations such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for drugs and medicaldevices, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP), as well as quality system stan-dards like ISO 9000, require that documentation, such as standard operating procedures, plans and varioustypes of records, be in place. These regulations, however, do not provide any guidelines to the industry onhow to set up and manage documentation systems. It is, therefore, left to companies to design and set uptheir own internal documentation systems.This course provides hands-on methodology and techniques on how to identify what systems require docu-mentary coverage; how to flowchart operations to identify what type of documentation is required; and howto set up, implement and manage the maintenance of such documentation systems to ensure continuouscompliance. Types of documentation addressed include: quality manuals, policy manuals, standard operat-ing procedures, work instructions, forms, records, logs, protocols, etc. The course also covers areas relat-ed to computer validation documentation, such as validation protocols and 21 CFR Part 11—ElectronicRecords and Signatures. Emphasis is placed on controls that need to be in place to ensure proper manipu-lation of documentary systems.

It is intended for individuals who work both in the development of raw materials, delivery systems and finished formulations, including:

• Research and Development • Technical Sales • Formulations Development • Marketing

Course Summary: The design of topically applied formulation combines scientific knowledge in physics, chemistry, engineering and biochemistry and requires imagination and artistic skills.

Throughout the design, one must become familiar with the fundamentals of skin structure, itspharmacology and possible delivery approaches. The understanding of formulation’s physical properties,ways of measuring these properties are additional essential aspects to learn.

Becoming familiar with both, one can extrapolate the possible interactions between a topically appliedformulation and the skin as a viable organ. This can allow for optimization of development.

Over the past decade, both the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries have gone through majorchanges that are mainly driven by consumer demand, aggressive market claims, regulatory issues and scientific breakthrough discoveries.

This course will provide participants with understanding the diversity of the above and will channel andfocus their development approaches. It will also provide knowledge in related terminology to createsales tools and marketing claims.
