Zielsetzung

This education course is intended to provide guidance on the procedures for the European ASMF, the US-DMF and the Japanese DMF.

You will get to know
  •  how to describe manufacturing processes
  •  how to compile data for drug substance stability, impurities and residual solvents
  •  which are the important points to consider for US-DMFs
  •  which are the requirements for Japanese DMFs
  •  how to handle changes in European, US- and Japanese DMFs
  •  which are the major differences and advantages of the ASMF and CEP procedure
Participants will have the opportunity to join one of two parallel workshops about
  1.  Description of the Active Substance manufacturing process
  2.  Managing changes in Drug Master Files

Hintergrund

Documentation of the drug substance quality is an integral part of any marketing authorisation application. In Europe the most common document for this purpose is the Active Substance Master File (ASMF) as long as the applicant has no Certificate of Suitability of the pharmacopoeial monograph (CEP). The European ASMF procedure differs significantly from the US-DMF procedure and for strategic reasons it is very important to take these differences into account. Moreover there are particular requirements for DMFs in Japan. For global acting companies it is a big challenge to handle the different procedures of compiling, submitting, changing and maintaining Drug Master Files in an efficient way.

Zielgruppe

The education course is designed for all persons involved in the compilation of pharmaceutical dossiers for marketing authorisations especially for Drug Master Files who want to become familiar with the different DMF procedures. Furthermore, the course will be of interest to personnel from Quality Units of the pharmaceutical and the API industry.
