Chemistry, Manufacture and Control (CMC) - Regulatory Requirements for Biological Drug Products Training Course

The regulatory requirements for Biological drug products are complex, and pharmaceutical companies are continuously under pressure to ensure regulatory compliance from drug discovery to post-marketing surveillance. This course has been designed to help you navigate the complex regulatory requirements for biological drugs, including ATMPs. It will clearly depict the differences between small and large molecules and the development approaches which reflect the type of molecule. It will address the key aspects of the CTD, look at the CMC regulatory requirements during different stages of development, and discuss the importance of change control.

Overview

The regulatory requirements for Biological drug products are complex, and pharmaceutical companies are continuously under pressure to ensure regulatory compliance from drug discovery to post-marketing surveillance.

Information regarding chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) for drugs is an important and detailed section in the dossier to support clinical studies and marketing applications. This data must be updated as more information is gained throughout a drug’s lifecycle.

The quality module of the Common Technical Document (CTD) presents the CMC data in the submission dossier for small and large molecules. Compiling the CMC regulatory material is challenging; however this needs to be completed with efficiency and accuracy to gain fast approval.

This course has been designed to help you navigate the complex regulatory requirements for biological drugs, including ATMPs. It will clearly depict the differences between small and large molecules and the development approaches which reflect the type of molecule. It will address the key aspects of the CTD, look at the CMC regulatory requirements during different stages of development, and discuss the importance of change control.

This is a key opportunity to learn from an expert in the field of CMC requirements and compliance, and discuss the complexities involved.

Please note, it is recommended that attendees have some experience with Module 3 of the CTD.

This course is part of our Biopharma training courses series which aims to provide up-to-date knowledge on industry best practices and regulations surrounding biopharmaceuticals.

Who Should Attend

  • Regulatory, Quality Assurance and Manufacturing personnel
  • Managers of a CMC area
  • CMC Project Managers
  • Quality Assurance Managers for Biological Products
  • Individuals who are new to drug companies

CMC Regulatory Guidelines for Biological Drug Products - Part 1

  • Relevant laws, main guidelines & monographs, specifically for biologics (i.e. ATMP guideline and other relevant guidelines for mRNA products)
  • ICH guidelines specific to different modalities (i.e. recombinant proteins, ATMP0
    • Brief background on ICH (e.g., countries belonging to ICH, full membership, observers etc.)
    • Q1-Q6B (no focus on New Chemical Entities (NCEs))                       
    • Q7-Q12 (requirements due to Q12 revision)  

CMC Regulatory Guidelines for Biological Drug Products - Part 2 (continued)

Understanding the Key CMC Aspects of the Common Technical Document (CTD) - Part 1

  • Quality Overall Summary (QOS)                       
  • Examining the structure and content of the CMC sections – developing a CTD Roadmap
  • Overview of the Drug Substance Sections for biologics                          
  • Examine the linkage to the Drug Product Section                        
  • Examine some basic rules for Q11 development and manufacture of drug substances 
  • Significant differences between EU & US & JP (e.g. P.3.5 FDA expectation)      

Understanding the Key CMC Aspects of the CTD - Part 2 (continued)

CMC Regulatory Requirements During Differenct Stages of Development - Part 1

  • Understand the definition and requirements at different stages of development (early stage, linked to clinical trials) as well as for different modalities (mRNA vs. Cell and gene)                       
    • QbD elements: QTPP, CQA, Process Characterization and Validation, Control Strategy
    • Starting materials: MCB and WCB (monoclonality, characterization, follow-up batch qualification)

CMC Regulatory Requirements During Different Stages of Development - Part 2 (continued)

  • Potency assay: development, inter-assay comparability, critical reagent           
  • Reference standard: Primary & working standard (re- & follow-up qualification)
  • Stability requirements & resulting concept (accelerated development): development batch, technical batch, pre-validation batch, PPQ batches                          
  • Comparability exercise for biologics according to ICH Q5E
    • Extended characterization: early versus late phase development
    • Orthogonal methods

CMC Regulatory Requirements During Different Stages of Development - Part 3 (continued)

  • The Review dimensions of the dossier
  • Clinical stages and linkage to formulation / analytical development
  • Develop strategies to overcome challenges             

Building the Pharmacuetical Sections of the Dossier

  • Examining the importance of development biologics/ATMPs                       
  • Review of the sections on development biologics/ATMPs (P2 and S26)           
  • Understanding the reviewer’s perspective, highlighting methods to ensure we answer the reviewer’s questions                       

Understanding Source Documents

  • Overview of source documents                       
  • Understanding the reviewer’s perspective (Using analytical data as an example)
  • Highlight the needs of internal teams versus external reviewers                       
  • Reviewer's questions to be answered

Change Control for Biological Products

  • Change control and the impact of your dossier
  • The importance of comparability                       
  • Practical exercise on change control
