  • Fresno, CA (1888PressRelease) December 18, 2012 - The FDA's recent guidance documents covering GMP requirements for Phase I products have considerably reduced some of the complexity early phase products face. These guidance documents are in addition to those that cover the CMC sections for IND submissions at Phase I.

    Although these new guidelines appear to remove the need to followGMPs for Phase I products; the same still exists in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. As a result, the need for GMP requirements for Phase I products has not been done away with; rather, it has been altered. Now, the nature and extent of GMP-related activities will depend upon the nature of the investigational drug and the extent of the study that is planned.

    This presentation will review the GMP guidance document and discuss how it may be integrated with the recommendations of the guidance documents on CMC requirements. It will cover the following areas:

    o Discussion of the elements found in the guidance document for Phase 1 material.
    o What to do at really early stages.
    o What about special IND studies?
    o What about preclinical studies?
    o Varying GMP activities that depend upon the nature of the IND product
    o What are the requirements for the GMP found in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act?
    o What to do about QC activities such as instrument qualification, method validation, and process validation.

    When:December 18, 10:00 AM PDT | 01:00 PM EDT
