Validation of aseptic processes is essential to ensuring the successful end result for manufacturers – a safe, effective finished product. However, the process starts long before that. Active ingredients and sterile bulk material must achieve the appropriate level of sterility assurance. This course will provide an in-depth overview of the requirements for cGMP-compliant aseptic process validation. This includes a detailed summary and analysis of mandates and guidance from several entities, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PICs), and the European Union (EU). This interactive session will highlight industry best practices, and discuss common errors and deficiencies.
Finally, this course will discuss prospective, concurrent, and retrospective validation, plus the role of revalidation.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
