FDA Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

This webinar provides some practical and useful answers to the question "What Kind of Statistical Methods and Tools Does the FDA Want Pharma to Use?"

FDA’s guidances and regulations have emphasized the use of statistics for many years. Statistical thinking and methods is an integral part of the Jan 2011 FDA Process Validation Guidance. It can be argued that the FDA is looking for the pharma and biotech industries to make even greater use of statistical thinking and methods. Even with this long history, the use of statistics seems to be a source of uncertainty and anxiety for many. This presentation provides an overview of what it appears the FDA is looking for in the use statistics including examples and recommended approaches.

HACCP Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points is a management system in which product safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. HACCP is aimed at prevention of contamination, instead of end-product evaluation.

Process Analytical Technology was released by the FDA as a 21st century guideline in September 2004. This guidance was released to help the pharmaceutical industry with real-time release, process understanding, and using the process to ensure all CPPs and CQAs meet compliance, URS, and SOPs. The use of PAT can alleviate strenuous validation procedures by using the process as the function of validation.

This webinar will discuss the basic concepts associated with cleaning validation to facilitate the construction of robust cleaning validation program as well as provide a cost-effective approach on conducting cleaning validation.
