Aseptic filling of parenterals is one the most challenging tasks within pharmaceutical manufacturing. There is a wide range of topics that fall under this umbrella, from more engineer-driven topics like filling accuracy and machine performance to key production questions, like how to keep the process sterile and compliant with the law and the regulatory guidelines. All this is influenced by new methods and technology innovations, either process- or technology-based.
ICH Q12 is another quasi-management-based regulatory guideline.1 In a nutshell, the industry should expect additional confusion and more work from a vaguely defined, potentially duplicative system that will likely further inhibit the industry from achieving excellence. In order to achieve excellence, the lifecycle product management concepts described in ICH Q12’s title need to be a lot more than retrospective change control.
I have been going to the ISPE Aseptic Conference since 2008 and the overwhelming response is that this is the best technical conference that ISPE hosts. The amount of learning, networking, and understanding that you can get at this conference is unparalleled. There are some valuable lessons that can be had at the Aseptic Show.
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing faces many new opportunities as we enter this decade. ISPE is returning to Boston for the 2020 ISPE Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Conference on 1-3 June 2020, bringing you once again an innovative conference, followed by the 2020 ISPE Continuous Manufacturing Workshop and relevant training classes 4-5 June 2020.
The GAMP® Global Leadership strongly supports a patient-centric and quality risk-based approach to the assurance of computerized systems. Explore the incorporation of innovative computerized technologies and approaches that advance pharmaceutical production to support product quality, patient safety, and data integrity.
In the pharmaceutical industry, which is highly regulated, aseptic processing is a critical component that ensures the sterility of products. Regulators have a set of comprehensive requirements that minimize the risk of contamination. Regulators set the requirements; however, the industry has an obligation to the patients who rely on and expect a drug that is safe and free of contamination....
Like any investment in digital manufacturing systems, demonstrating business payback before and after investment is critical to getting MES projects approved and verifying profitability after investment. Whether it is introducing MES, expanding it to additional sites, switching software, upgrading existing software, or developing electronic production records (EPR) for new drug products,...
Sustainability is emerging as a pivotal force influencing the pharmaceutical industry’s dynamics and steering companies towards transformative change. The focus of this analysis is to delve into the sustainability key performance indicators (KPIs) of prominent pharmaceutical players, namely Pfizer, Sanofi, Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK), Becton Dickinson, Johnson & Johnson, Abbott, Eli Lilly, and...
