Introduction The changing regulatory environment In a Science Board Meeting held in November 2001, FDA raised some concerns regarding the efficiency of the pharmaceutical industry. The factors contributing to this situation were identified as follows: • Pharmaceuticals are complex, multivariate physicochemical systems that are - Often treated (during development) as univariate systems (one-factor-at-a-time, trial- and-error experimentation) - Physical properties of materials normally not well characterized - Equipment selection based on tradition - Process factors are not well understood • Development is done under time crunch • Post approval changes require regulatory oversight It was said that a higher efficiency is required in order to provide high quality drugs to the market in a timely manner, to successfully take advantage of the new drug development opportunities offered by advances in chemistry and biology.

  • Gxp Regulations for Healthcare
    Understanding GxP Regulations for Healthcare GxP Guidelines What is GxP? GxP is a collection of quality guidelines and regulations created to ensure that bio/pharmaceutical products are safe, meet their intended use, and adhere to quality processes during manufacturing, control, storage, and distribution. GxP was established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and encompasses different standards recognized as: G – stands for “Good” P – stands for “Practice” x – variable depending on the application. It can be M for “Manufacturing”, C for “Clinical”, L for “Laboratory”, S for “Storage”, D for “Distribution”, R for “Review”, etc. Understanding GxP Regulations for Healthcare | 2 GxP ensures that regulated organizations comply with specific and secure manufacturing and storage processes and procedures which determine effective research standards for non-clinical laboratory trials and safe human-subject clinical trials. GxP’s guidelines focus on 1 : • Traceability: the ability to reconstruct the development history of a drug or medical device. • Accountability: the ability to resolve who has contributed what to the development and when. • Data Integrity (DI): the reliability of data generated by the system. DI could be determined by the following activities: » Identifying the data generated by the system during critical processes (data flow diagram) » Defining the DI requirements (e.g. ALCOA data attributes) during the lifecycle of data » Identifying the risks and mitigation strategies (e.g. technical or procedural controls) to avoid DI breaches. Who is impacted by GxP? Regulated industries including food, pharma, medical devices, and cosmetics are impacted by GxP. GxP guidelines and regulations are global; some of the popular regulators include FDA in the US, TGA in Australia, and HS-SC in Canada.

    Digitalization of Documents in a GxP- Regulated Environment Digitization of Documents in a GxP-Regulated Environment 1st Edition Edited by the German Society for Good Research Practice (DGGF) (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gute Forschungspraxis e.V.) Version: 1 Date: Dezember 12th, 2011 March 1st , 2012 (English translation) Digitization of Documents in a GxP-Regulated Environment 1st Edition Edited by the German Society for Good Research Practice (DGGF) (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gute Forschungspraxis e.V.) Authors: Michael Bursian, Grünenthal GmbH Thorsten Dunker, Biomedion GmbH Britta Krusemeyer, Covance Laboratories GmbH Klaus Lindow, Bayer Schering P harma AG Bernd Mohnsame, Z.A.S. Zentral Archiv Service GmbH Bettina Quernheim, Sanofi Aventis Deutschland GmbH Summary As soon as you start dealing with the possibilities of digitizing documents in a GxP-regulated environment, you very quickly realize that there are no detailed guidelines for the conversion. Therefore, in a working group, con- sisting of representatives of archive service providers, IT service providers, contract research providers and the pharmaceutical industry, we have investigated whether the current legal situation in the various GxP sectors allow to digitize documents and then destroy the originals. In a second step, we have described the requirements imposed on the digitization process from practice. In all GxP sectors, the preparation of copies and their use instead of the originals is possible in principle. However, there must be a documented check of the result of the copying process. We suggest that this procedure should be transferred to the digitization and the degree of detail of the checking should be planned on the basis of a risk analysis.
