ICH Q13 Continuous Manufacturing Finalised Guidelines Course 2024 (ON-DEMAND)


Dublin, June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "ICH Q13: Continuous Manufacturing - Final Version of Guideline" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

In 2018, the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) embarked on a groundbreaking initiative with the inception of the guideline titled 'Continuous Manufacturing of Drug Substances and Drug Products Q13.' After the release of a draft version in mid-2021, the ICH has now granted its seal of approval to the final iteration.

The ICH Q13 guideline encompasses a comprehensive exploration of both scientific and regulatory facets concerning the development, implementation, operational aspects, and the entire life cycle management of continuous manufacturing processes.

Continuous manufacturing, in this context, signifies a dynamic process that involves the uninterrupted flow of raw materials into the manufacturing process, their conversion within the process, and the simultaneous extraction of the final product. While this concept is applicable across various processes such as tableting and chromatography, our focus here is on the integrated approach, specifically the amalgamation of multiple unit operations.

Within this continuous framework, any alterations or fluctuations occurring in downstream processes are adeptly controlled in real-time by the corresponding upstream processes. Additionally, this continuous paradigm naturally generates batches, which can be characterized not only by the quantities employed but also by the duration of the process.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND:

Broad Applicability:

The ICH Q13 Guideline can be seamlessly applied to the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and medicinal products, encompassing both small and large molecules. This guideline is equally relevant to a spectrum of scenarios, ranging from the development of new products, including new drugs, generics, and biosimilars, to the transformation of traditional batch production into a continuous production model for existing products. It delves into critical facets of development, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and regulatory affairs.

Comprehensive Structure:

Similar to the draft version, the final release of the guideline is structured into two distinct parts. Part 1 primarily focuses on regulatory considerations and provides essential definitions that serve as the foundation for understanding the principles at play. Part 2, which holds particular intrigue, comprises five informative annexes, each honing in on the continuous manufacturing of the following:

  • Active ingredients
  • Medicinal products
  • Therapeutic proteins
  • Integrated manufacturing of APIs and drugs
  • Strategies for handling process disturbances

Who Should Attend:
