NA23CEOCT1/SESWS3 - Workshop: Development of a Contamination Control Strategy

According to Annex 1, Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) is referred to as a family of documents that unite, evaluate, and record the adequacy of tools used to assure the purity and quality of drug products. The heightened focus on the CCS is centered around not only physical mechanisms to control contamination but now also emphasizes how the mechanisms work together and how they are managed as a group. This workshop will engage attendees in the development of a CCS using a case study and supporting documentation from an existing cGMP facility. Attendees will be exposed to a methodology to develop a CCS that was performed for the actual facility that is used for the case study. Attendees will interact with different procedures and design documents and see how the documents support each other and work together to ensure that the facility operates in a way to prevent contamination of drug products. Attendees will be exposed to the use of Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) for the CCS. Lastly, attendees will experience realistic challenges during the creation of the CCS and gain valuable lessons learned from the actual team that executed the same CCS methodology.
