COURSE DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
In a pharmaceutical contract manufacturing arrangement, sponsor companies are only as compliant as their vendors. When a violation occurs, the manufacturer is held responsible for the cGMP deficiency itself, while the sponsor is held responsible for its lack of vendor oversight. The bottom line is this: If your CMO fails to meet regulatory standards, you lose out on millions in profits and patent exclusivity. If you are a CMO, you are assured to never win business from that sponsor again.
This course will provide sponsor companies with the necessary tools to make an informed decision when qualifying a manufacturing vendor’s compliance with cGMP. Conversely, the session will provide CMOs with proven techniques to win sponsor business and exceed regulatory AND performance expectations.
