Course Description:
The design and establishment of the laboratory facility, test methods and materials handling are impacted by stringent guidelines defined by regulatory agencies including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and represented as Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations delineated in 21 CFR Part 58. An additional component of a preclinical development program is the necessity of periodic internal and external audits of the facilities to ascertain the enforcement and consequent adherence of quality policies. The management systems that are encompassed by regulatory scrutiny include but are not limited to GLP practices and technique, bio-safety handling practices, standard operating procedural compliance, methods validation, organizational structure, training, proficiency assessment and qualifications of personnel, reagent certification, document control involving the recording, reporting and archiving of information, and laboratory management systems.
This interactive course will provide comprehensive guidelines and strategies for conducting and managing a preclinical development program for biologic candidates eventually leading to IND studies. The guidelines will be in accordance with current global regulatory (FDA, ICH) directives, and the management of these mandates will ensure successful audits for compliance, and submissions. Target areas for potential compliance infractions, resolution of audit findings, and pertinent case studies regarding the issuance of 483s and warning letters will be discussed.
The GLP compliance regulations discussed in this course will be applicable to biologics, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
Topic Background:
The basic premise of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is to monitor universities, contract laboratories and biopharmaceutical companies that conduct animal and clinical studies to ensure the quality and authenticity of drug safety information. These GLP requirements were established by regulatory authorities in the 1970s following inspections of institutions that revealed appalling animal testing conditions and deceptive data reports submitted for FDA approval. Preclinical testing for the assessment of efficacy and safety of biologic therapeutics, and the performance of medical devices is an integral component of product development. A majority of preclinical studies are impacted by stringent GLP regulations if they are components of efficacy and safety informational packages seeking FDA approval for marketing permits. In addition, these studies are essential precursors for the identification of effective dosage levels, key pharmacokinetic efficacy and safety parameters, and specification limits prior to embarking on human clinical trials. The evaluations are performed in vitro systems and in vivo animal models following optimized, approved standard operating procedures. These protocols are specific for the physiochemical qualification and mechanism of action of the drug candidate.
