Pharmaceutical Development of ATMPs (London, United Kingdom – March 30-31, 2020) – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Pharmaceutical Development of ATMPs” conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

This course has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the regulatory, quality and good manufacturing practice (GMP) requirements to consider when developing advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs).

Industry experts will cover the regulatory landscape and the definition and classification of ATMPs and provide practical guidance on how to overcome quality and specific GMP challenges. The differences between GMP for ATMPs and conventional therapies will be discussed, as will the requirements for clinical trials and the preparation of the IMPD. Advice on the specific transportation requirements of these products will also be addressed.

Benefits of attending:

• Understand the GMP requirements for clinical trials in the US and Europe
• Gain a practical insight into other markets
• Determine critical quality attributes
• Develop a successful QC strategy
• Examine the major differences between GMP for ATMPs and conventional therapies
• Overcome potential pitfalls when manufacturing cells
• Discuss multi-manufacturing sites for autologous products
• Consider stability issues
• Examine risk analysis for biological materials and understand Annex 16
• Gain an introduction to GMO approval requirements

Agenda:

Programme Day One

Introduction to ATMPs

• Definition of ATMPs and associated terms
• Classification of ATMPs

The regulatory landscape

• Examining the European regulatory landscape for ATMPs – detailed analysis of existing regulation 1394/2007
• Considering factors lying outside of the regulation’s scope, e.g. combination products
• Links to related directives, eg Tissues and Cells Directives (2002/98/EC and 2004/23/EC); Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) and forthcoming regulation

Understanding clinical trials

• EU clinical trial requirements
• The US IND

Strategic considerations

• Opportunities to meet with regulators to maximise approval chances

• Accelerated access opportunities in the EU and US
• Understanding breakthrough status/PRIME

Insight into global regulations and requirements

• Examining key markets including Europe, US and Japan
• Evaluate the regulatory differences between regions to help you build a strategic approval route
• GMP requirements at Phase I in the US and Europe – ramifications for your product

Overcoming quality challenges

• Overview of frequent quality concerns
• Potency assay development
• Determining critical quality attributes
• Developing a successful QC strategy for short-shelf-life product
• QP release: timing and logistical challenges for ATMPs

Risk-based approach for ATMPs
