Global Pharmaceutical And Biologics Regulatory Strategy Second Edition

Compilation of the pharmaceutical and biologics chapters from Fundamentals of US Regulatory Affairs Eighth Edition and Fundamentals of International Regulatory Affairs Second Edition,

This book highlights the challenges facing quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) in today's biopharmaceutical environment and presents the strategic importance and value generated by QA/QC for their involvement in control of manufacturing. It will put into perspective the need for a graded approach to QA/QC from early clinical trials through market approval. Since the first edition published in 2004, there have been more than 50 new regulatory guidances released by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) and ICH that affect the CMC regulatory compliance of biopharmaceuticals; also the application of biosimilars has been developed in Europe and is under development in the USA. The revised update will be broadened to include not only biopharmaceuticals (biotech drugs) but also other biologics (vaccines, cell therapy, plasma-derived proteins, etc.)

Compilation of pharmaceutical and biologics chapters from Fundamentals of EU Regulatory Affairs Sixth Edition, Fundamentals of Canadian Regulatory Affairs Fourth Edition and Fundamentals of Japanese Regulatory Affairs First Edition.

Medical Product Regulatory Affairs Hands-on guide through the jungle of medical regulatory affairs for every professional involved in bringing new products to market Based on a module prepared by the authors for an MSc course offered by the University of Limerick, Ireland, Medical Product Regulatory Affairs is a comprehensive and practical guide on how pharmaceutical and medical devices are regulated within the major global markets. The Second Edition builds on the success of the first with an even wider scope and full coverage of new EU regulations on the safe use of medical devices. Following a look at drug development, complete sections are devoted to national and EU regulatory issues, manufacturing license application and retention, and regulation in the USA. Other topics dealt with include CDER, CBER and marketing and manufacturing licenses, the ICH process and Good Laboratory/Clinical/ Manufacturing Practices. Medical Product Regulatory Affairs includes information on: Aims and structure of regulation, covering purpose and principles of regulation, national and EU legislative processes, and pharmacopeia Regulatory strategy, covering product development and manufacturing, market vigilance, quality assurance systems, personnel, and documentation Drug discovery and development, covering prescription status, physical properties, therapeutic use, and drug discovery, development, and delivery Non-clinical studies, covering non-clinical study objectives and timing, pharmacological and pharmacodynamic studies, and bioavailability and bioequivalence Clinical trials, covering trial protocol, monitoring of trials, trial master files, and FDA communications The wide coverage of different product types and the main global markets makes Medical Product Regulatory Affairs ideal for training courses on regulatory affairs in academia and industry. It is also a valuable reference for pharmacologists, bioengineers, pharma engineers, and students in pharmacy to familiarize themselves with the topic.

Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Health - Miscellaneous, grade: sehr gut, University of Bonn (Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät), language: English, abstract: The Regulatory Affairs (RA) department is a key discipline in the global network of drug development. During drug development, regulatory strategy is one crucial success factor for the approval of the development candidate. Also, regulatory strategy can optimise labelling in the key countries in order to maximise the market success. No submission and approval would be possible without the appropriate dossier composition and compilation. Without adherence to the respective guidance documents and scientific advice from Health Authorities to design the optimal clinical development plan, optimal labelling would not be feasible. These two examples show some characteristics of the regulatory strategy: it is highly interactive with other disciplines and it is heavily based on a thorough intelligence work which enables the RA Manager to know the “rules of the game” and to develop the optimal regulatory strategy for the current development candidate. The major cornerstone for developing a regulatory strategy is regulatory intelligence. This document focuses on regulatory intelligence. The regulatory contributions to the global drug development from early research to submission are described. Strategies for generic drugs as well as detailed strategies for life-cycle management are excluded. Major components of regulatory intelligence are: • Competitor Information • Information on Regulatory Environment • Information on Legal Requirements Competitor analysis is an essential aspect of the intelligence work. Sources of competitive information as well as relevant items of competitive information are described. Sources of information about the regulatory environment and sources of information about the legal regulatory environment are described and their tremendous impact on setting up and modifying the regulatory strategy evaluated. Special attention is paid to the components and sources of regulatory intelligence information (e.g. Internet links and documents related to intelligence information). Some examples show how regulatory intelligence information supports the regulatory strategic considerations. The last section describes the regulatory strategy itself and examples of how regulatory intelligence acts as the basis for setting up the regulatory strategy. What is the basis of strategic considerations, what are the considerations, what are the major components of a regulatory strategy, how do the different disciplines involved in drug development work together?

This Second Edition examines the mechanisms and means to establish regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical products and company practices. It focuses on major legislative revisions that impact requirements for drug safety reviews, product regulatory approvals, and marketing practices. Written by top industry professionals, practicing attorneys, and FDA regulators, it includes policies and procedures that pharmaceutical companies need to implement regulatory compliance post-approval. New chapters cover: the marketing of unapproved new drugs and FDA efforts to keep them in regulatory compliance pharmacovigilance programs designed to prevent widespread safety issues legal issues surrounding the sourcing of foreign APIs the issues of counterfeit drugs updates on quality standards
