Validation in accordance with ICH guidelines

Chemical

Professionals in the field of statistical analysis need a clear and perceptive insight into how to understand and interpret statistical concepts used to investigate quantitative ICH Guidelines such as analytical methods validation, procedures and acceptance criteria in calibration limits. Along with these, process and quality controls, as well as ICH Q8 and Q9 also need to be properly and thoroughly understood.

The ICH tripartite-harmonized ICH Guideline on Text, which was previously coded as Q2A, finalized in October 1994 under Step 4, is the guideline the ICH has set out for analytical methods validation. The aim of this guideline is to identify the validation parameters that are required for a number of analytical methods. This guideline also lays down the characteristics and parameters that need to be taken into consideration when validating the analytical procedures that are included in the registration applications.

Likewise, the ICH tripartite-harmonized ICH Guideline on Methodology, which used to be previously coded as Q2B, finalized in November 1996 under Step 4, is the ICH guideline on procedures and acceptance criteria in calibration limits. This guideline extends the ICH guideline on Text, or what is called Q2A (mentioned above) to comprise the actual experimental data required, along with the statistical interpretation, for the validation of a variety of analytical procedures.

Current Step 4 for process and Quality Control

For process and Quality Control, the extant guideline is the Current Step 4 version of the ICH-harmonized Tripartite Guideline. The final draft of this guideline has been recommended for adoption to the regulatory bodies of the three biggest pharmaceutical markets in the world, namely the US, the EU and Japan.

In order to achieve harmonization in Quality, professionals have to meet critical milestones. These include conducting stability studies, the way the studies define relevant limits for the testing of impurities, and following a more malleable approach to pharmaceutical quality that is based on the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) risk management. ICH’s Quality guidelines on harmonization relating to Quality cover the following areas:

Get professionally trained on the areas of Validation in accordance with ICH guidelines

Considering the complexity and the breadth of the issues associated with these techniques, which cover both the pharmaceutical and clinical applications, and considering that these techniques apply to a number of area such as stability testing, outlier analysis and risk management; it is necessary and important to undergo professional trainings with which professionals in these areas can clarify a number of doubts.

This is the learning a two-day seminar from GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of professional trainings for the areas of regulatory compliance, will be imparting. This training will be led by Dr. Alfred Bartolucci, who serves as Emeritus Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Alabama. To enroll for this seminar, please register by logging on to http://www.globalcompliancepanel.com/control/globalseminars/~produc... . This seminar has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant’s RAC recertification upon full completion.

A clear and deep understanding of statistical concepts

Depth and clarity of understanding of the statistical concepts used for investigating quantitative ICH Guidelines such as analytical methods validation, procedures and acceptance criteria in calibration limits, and process and Quality Control, along with ICH Q8 and Q9 will be the main thrust of this seminar.

This seminar is not a course in statistics, but offers an introduction to an applied approach to the statistical techniques used, and how to reasonably interpret them. This learning will help participants address the various challenges facing pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies when they have to quantify results in a meaningful interpretable manner through tabulations and graphical presentations.

In addition, Dr. Bartolucci will also focus on another important area: What the different regulatory agencies expect of the quantification and development of a sound statistical monitoring of a properly utilized, effective, and efficient process control. He will familiarize the participants with the critical aspects of the statistical methods and explain to them the practical application of these guidelines.
