LIVE Online Academy,
3 sessions delivered across 2 weeks
Introductory CMC Analytical Studies and Lab Quality Practices
Gain an understanding of the practical requirements for biopharm CMC studies to support strategic decisions, budgets and timeframes
For biotech and biosimilar products
Live Online Academies
In light of the uncertain times we’re facing at the moment, gain real-time access to a subject matter expert delivering online training in a structured virtual classroom environment.
Live online academies are virtual versions of some of our most popular face-to-face courses, delivered in bitesize sessions of 1.5-3 hours online.
All sessions will be recorded and uploaded to your virtual learning environment which you will get access to for a month. As part of this you will also be able to access a forum where you can communicate with your trainer and peers on the course.
Delegates will receive login instructions within a week of the course start date. If you have any questions please contact lifesciences-training@informa.com.
Course overview
This course will provide attendees with a concise but comprehensive overview of all relevant regulatory, technical and quality elements necessary to assure successful design, implementation and documentation of the required CMC analytical and stability studies for biotechnology products, including biosimilar products. Key deliverables from each phase of development will be illustrated. Current ‘hot-button’ CMC analytical and stability issues will be presented, and strategies for preventing (or remediating) gaps will be presented.
What will you learn?
Phase-specific requirements
Gain a comprehensive overview of the phase-specific requirements for CMC analytical characterisation, comparability, release and stability of biotechnology products
Product life cycle
Examine the different stages of the life cycle including pre-clinical, clinical trials, commercialisation and post-approval
Analytical considerations
Discuss analytical considerations for a wide variety of biopharmaceuticals including monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic proteins, gene therapy, vaccines, and complex products (e.g. antibody drug conjugates)
Product reference standards
Maintain product reference standards and design successful comparability tests
Comparability tests
Design and implement successful comparability tests for biosimilars
Product specifications
Learn to set meaningful product specifications, conduct forced degradation studies and manage tech transfer
Methods and protocol
Bridge changes in analytical methods and generate effective stability protocols
Lab quality practices
Assess critical elements of laboratory quality practices that significantly impact the reliability of test data from R&D through to current GMP will be illustrated
