  • Quality Assurances influence early in
    development and technology transfer through
    commercialization of the drug product must be
    present, appropriately balanced with drug
    development objectives
  • Quality Assurances role and viability as a
    formal unit must become more predominant from the
    point of pivotal clinical trials through PAI.
  • FDA expects Quality Assurance to be completely
    responsible for commercially approved drug
    products.
  • Utilize outside objective assessments to prevent
    against tunnel vision and to keep your
    horizons fresh to new ideas and concepts
    were living in a dynamic world!

  • Management and Tracking/Trending of OOS Results
  • Tracking and trending of initial OOS vs. initial,
    unconfirmed OOS vs. confirmed OOS
  • Management and Tracking/Trending of Deviations
  • Production/Manufacturing
  • Process Yields at Different Critical Phases of
    the Manufacturing Process
  • Reconciliation problems (brite, unlabeled stock
    and labeling)
  • Procedural (SOP) or Batch Record (BPR)
  • Documentation Errors
  • Unplanned Maintenance and/or Repairs
  • Out of Calibration Events

    Facilities, Utilities, and Equipment
  • Management of Third Party Contractors and Service
    Providers
  • Quality Agreements
  • Contract Manufacturers
  • Contract Test Laboratories
  • Management of qualified, experienced, and trained
    personnel
  • What about changes in personnel (experience)
    levels?
  • Are we using temporary employees or unionized
    personnel?
  • How do we qualify trainers?
  • Whats an adequate supervisor to employee ratios?
  • Do you have sufficient quality presence or
    influence in other departments?

Top cGMP ViolationsWarning Letters (FY
2004-2005)
  • 21CFR211.192
  • Deviation investigations
  • 21CFR211.22
  • Quality unit
  • 21CFR211.100
  • Written procedures (process and production
    controls)
  • 21CFR211.160
  • Laboratory controls
  • 21CFR211.67
  • Equipment cleaning maintenance

16
Top cGMP ViolationsWarning Letters (FY
2004-2005)
  • 21CFR211.113
  • Control of microbial contamination
  • 21CFR211.42
  • Design/construction of facilities
  • 21CFR211.165
  • Testing and release for distribution
  • 21CFR211.166
  • Stability testing
  • 21CFR211.25
  • Personnel qualifications and training

17
Evaluating Regulatory Risk
  • Ensure the product is well-characterized
  • Ensure there are adequate development reports and
    data to support the process
  • Ensure that contract manufacturers and test
    facilities operate in compliance with cGMPs
  • Ensure the manufacturing process and test methods
    are validated
  • Ensure that cleaning procedures have been
    validated including microbial assessments
  • Ensure the product meets all stability
    requirements
  • Ensure all in-process assays are adequately
    validated

18
Evaluating Regulatory Risk
  • Ensure that risk assessments or a risk based
    approach to establishing process controls has
    been documented
  • Ensure A/NDA and BLA particularly the CMC Section
    is accurate and complete
  • Prepare and monitor contract manufacturing and
    laboratory test facilities for FDA PAI readiness
    and continued cGMP compliance
  • Ensure the manufacturing process is consistent
    with pre-established specifications
  • Ensure that release specifications are meaningful
  • Develop a system for evaluating cGMP compliance
    status on a routine basis (internal and external
    cGMP compliance)

19
Evaluating Regulatory Risk
  • Develop and establish quality systems to ensure
    processes are remain properly validated and
    equipment is maintained in a qualified state
  • Develop an adequate communication system between
    QA and all other departments
  • Ensure quality systems are integrated and
    centralized vs. decentralized
  • Develop an early warning system based on
    marketplace indicators and internal quality
    metrics complaints, adverse event reports,
    recalls, reject categories, rejected lots,
    stability failures, out-of-trend reports,
    deviation trend summaries, and out-of-specificatio
    n test results.
  • Ensure that the organizational structure is
    adequately designed to effectively support
    commercial cGMP compliance activities (e.g.
    management reviews)

20
Closing Comments
  • Quality Assurance is required to develop, manage,
    maintain, and monitor quality systems.
  • Quality Assurance is ultimately responsible for
    lot release including acceptance of errors,
    deviations, or out-of-specification test results
    are noted in the batch record.
  • Quality Assurance is responsible for the product
    even if errors are identified post-release.
  • Quality Assurance can not be unduly influenced or
    possess any perceived conflicts of interest.

21
Closing Comments
  • FDA initiates regulatory actions when concerns
    and evidence poor quality assurance oversight are
    identified, left uncorrected, and persistent.
  • Quality Assurance and Compliance must provide
    sufficient oversight and protection of public
    health.
  • Quality Assurance and Compliance is the first
    line of defense for virtual companys senior
    management.

22
Closing Comments
  • Senior Management must be appraised of potential
    significant quality issues and concerns.
  • Quality presence must be integrated into all
    departments not just thoughts or a sense of being
    quality-minded.
  • Quality must be designed into a product it can
    not be tested into a product.
