COURSE DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
Staying abreast of ever changing regulatory requirements with the FDA is not easy. In November 2016, FDA finalized their guidance on contract manufacturing arrangements for drugs, detailing their expectations for quality agreements. The final document outlines specific steps manufacturers should make to ensure their contract organizations are living up to a higher standard of compliance. Additionally, the guidance gives contractors a better understanding of what they really need out of their end of a quality agreement, thus helping them to better position themselves as a viable partner. Finally, this gives both parties a roadmap to potential inspection/audit points to be aware of.
Don’t wait until an FDA inspection to learn there are deficiencies with your approach to drafting and implementing Quality Agreements!
