CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, New Brunswick, NJ
October 22-23, 2015


Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for those who want to improve their understanding of the overall process of developing specifications for drug substance and drug products from generic, OTC and research-based pharmaceutical industries. The course includes both basic and advanced level topics of interest to:

  • Pharmacists
  • Analytical and Pharmaceutical Chemists
  • Staff from Chemical Production Departments
  • QA and QC Professionals
  • Regulatory Affairs Personnel
  • Pre-Clinical Scientists

RAPS - Regulatory Affairs Professional Society 
This course has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's recertification of their Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) upon full completion.

Course Description
This 2-day comprehensive course provides a broad overview of the process of establishing specifications through various development stages for drug products and drug substances made by synthesis or by conventional fermentation. The course focuses on the ICH approach for global harmonization. Using practical examples, the importance of understanding “real-life” constraints and regulatory requirements will be highlighted. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a hand-on-workshop to practice specification writing skills. The latest activities of the ICH and pharmacopeial harmonization relevant to setting specifications for drug substances and drug products are reviewed. Strategies for addressing Out-Of-Specification (OOS) findings will also be discussed. There will be opportunities to meet with the instructors and network with course participants. An open and interactive learning environment is encouraged throughout the course.
