Who Should Attend

Any professional in the healthcare industry that is involved in pharmaceutical development and integrated lifecycle management processes - handling regulatory and quality related aspects during the product lifecycle and seeking to keep the pace with latest regulatory strategies - will profit from this online training course.

Objective of the Event

Are you involved in product lifecycle management processes? Stop asking if Quality by Design is mandatory or needed! Our three experts will sensitise you not to underestimate any longer what you can in fact get from it.

To make the most of ICH Q12 opportunities you have to be aware of the relation between ICH guidelines Q8 to Q12 and how to properly integrate them. It's absolutely critical that you understand the need of mastering the different Quality by Design (QbD) options and that you realise their implications.

Our experts will go through each guideline with focus on ICH Q8 (drug product) and ICH Q11 (drug substance). They will point out the specific challenges with interpretation and implementation and the relation between all guidelines.
In the end you will be trained in a more conceptional way on the desired outcome of mastering QbD to make the most of ICH Q12.

Your Benefit

After participating in this seminar you will be aware of the relation between the guidelines ICH Q8 to ICH Q12.
This will enable you to recognise the opportunities of ICH Q12 and to profitably put the requirements of the guideline into practice.
