Auditorium (100) (Pfahler Hall)
Drugs: Manufacturing, Analyses and FDA Regulations
: The workshop is a forum for the presentation of the critical factors that determine consistent quality of pharmaceutical products, the science behind drug manufacturing process, appropriate analytical methods, evaluation of the science behind the regulatory requirements and recommendation of changes in the regulatory field. The invited speakers are from Academia, Industry and FDA. Topics intended to be covered by the Workshop are: - Current opinion on regulatory requirements for Drug Substances (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) - Critical factors in ensuring batch to batch consistency in drug product manufacturing, bioavailability and stability - Formulation, correlation of dissolution to bioavailability (in immediate release and extended release products), dissolution methods - Current FDA "Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls" (CMC) requirements, the rationale for the requirements (from industry / academia and regulators perspectives) - Critical factors missing in current CMC regulations, inclusion of which is recommended.
