Opening Plenary Session | In this opening session, representatives from FDA and from industry will give their high-level perspective on where the Pharmaceutical Industry is heading…
This presentation will cover the consequences of variability and benefits of reliability for sterile manufacturing. Learnings from recent inspections will also be briefly summarized…
The world has come together during these unprecedented times to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Health authorities and regulatory agencies are working closer than ever with industry in an effort to expedite and make available COVID-19 medical countermeasures globally…
Intersection of ATMPs and New Technologies | Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), are medicines for human use that are based on genes, tissues, or cells. ATMPs offer novel ways to treat a variety of diseases, and in some instances can be curative…
The use of Isolators technology in the production of ATMPs has been recently developed. For this reason, we need to set transfer of protocols initially developed for grade B. Habits need to change and procedures carefully tuned to avoid bottlenecks and to ensure smooth running…
This presentation is part 2 of the Oxford biomedica Oxbox project case study presenting a combined Formulation-Fill-Finish platform for ATMPs including a lentiviral vector for CarT Cell therapy…
The ISPE Student Chapter (SC) Munich is currently working on an industry project named "Biosafety Project" together with all other ISPE D/A/CH Student Chapters…
The design and implementation of a state-of-the art fill finish facility for viral vaccines faces numerous challenges. Besides the right facility design with focus on BSL2 aspects, this project had the challenge of a very short timeline (fast-track project) combined with facility space limitations…
Facility Considerations for Next-Generation Manufacturing | Facility Considerations for Next-Generation Sterile Product Manufacturing | The rise of advanced therapy medicinal products has taken the industry by storm over the past few years…
CMOs need the flexibility to respond to ever-evolving client needs. Likewise, manufacturers who are bringing their ATMP production activities in-house have complex product pipelines and need the flexibility to develop different modalities in parallel, unsure of which will ultimately go to market…
Gene/Cell Therapy is a rapidly emerging novel therapeutic technology in the biotech industry. Applications for these therapies are wide-ranging from cellular immunotherapies to cancer vaccines, and new facilities are being designed and built quickly to support the production of these new drugs…
Containment - Understanding Why, When, and What Regulatory Agencies Expect | For10 years - the Risk Based Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Products has defined expectations for cross contamination control to protect patients…
This presentation will discuss the planning, resources, and capabilities necessary to effectively produce a client’s highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredient (HPAPI) therapeutic, while effectively controlling the risk of exposure to operating personnel…
Revision of EU GMPs Annex 1: What Impacts Can We Expect as an Industry? | 2020 saw the commenting of the draft Annex 1, which included many changes to the 2017 version. In this session, we will cover the commenting process both from the ISPE and the PHSS perspective…
Annex 1 is highly important to all involved in sterile medicinal and Advance Therapeutic medicinal products manufacturing as such clarity of requirements is essential…
H2O2: Not the Same Old Topic | H2O2 decontamination has evolved over the years. As aseptic processing has progressed within isolators and within operating rooms, H2O2 has evolved to be used not only as equipment decontamination but also as room decontamination…
Decontamination of cleanrooms as opposed to Isolators present unique challenges. The volume of the room and the geometric limitations needs to be taken into account…
In aseptic production using barrier systems, a variety of differing materials like packaging materials or consumables are present. Nowadays, further new technologies emerge for application of hydrogen peroxide for biodecontamination. However, hydrogen peroxide can interact with materials…
Modular Robotic Fill/Finish Lines | The use of robotics is a hot topic in pharma, particularly in the area of fill/finish. While robots are able to accomplish numerous tasks, in aseptic processing, their use is primarily for container handling or replacing a classical transport system…
In the new draft Annex 1 the use of automated processes and Rapid Micro Method technologies are mentioned. How can be current technologies for EM monitoring replaced through new innovative technologies…
Single Use Technologies - Are they sustainable? | Over more than two decades, the pharmaceutical industry has increasingly adopted single-use technologies primarily to simplify manufacturing and seemingly to reduce cost; however, the need to reduce environmental burden has a huge impact on these fa…
Presenters will discuss the unique nature of advanced therapy facilities with a focus on the advantages of using modular cleanrooms and single use technologies in cell and gene therapy…
Recent national initiatives and international organizational goals speak to the need to address sustainable vaccine manufacturing. Single-Use (SU) based manufacturing technology provides unique health and safety benefits, while contributing a very small fraction of total plastic waste…
Process Safety | Robust and safe processes are the foundation of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Changes to processes are inevitable, but often result in increased risks…
Siliconization of glass containers is a central process in the preparation for filling of parenterals. A change in the main component, namely the silicone oil emulsion, therefore represents a sensitive intervention in the aseptic process…
Elanco Animal Health recently completed a facility expansion at its Fort Dodge, IA, site to accommodate the technical transfer of 70 additional products to the facility…
