Zielsetzung

Medical cannabis has been meanwhile permitted for prescription in several countries around the world, causing a need for producers supplying pharmacists and physicians with the newly legalized drug. But what qualifies as medical grade cannabis? And which aspects have to be considered for CBD-Products? This conference will give you an overview of all relevant GACP/GMP requirements and regulatory aspects for medical cannabis and CBD-Products.

Hintergrund

Medical cannabis products must comply with the relevant requirements laid down under Medicinal and Narcotics Law. The relevant requirements based on the underlying legal framework (including Pharmacopoeias) and the corresponding EU GMP/ GDP and GACP guidelines must be complied with when supplying medical cannabis to the EU market.
 
The EU GMP inspectorates are responsible for issuing manufacturing and import licenses or “GMP Certificates”. Thus, they will perform inspections at the sites of manufacturers who apply for these certificates and licenses. Meanwhile, European pharmacopoeial (Ph. Eur.) monographs describing the quality requirements for cannabis flower (API or for direct prescription to patients) and for CBD have been established and implemented. However, questions still arise, because:
  • ƒThere is currently no harmonized “EU GMP Cannabis Standard” or “Global GMP Cannabis Standard” available for medical cannabis (API / Herbal Medicinal Product).
  • The Ph. Eur. Cannabis Flower and CBD monographs are currently not harmonized with the corresponding USP (draft) monographs.
  • ƒRegarding quality requirements for Cannabis Extracts (Herbal Drug Preparation) only national monographs exist so far.
Thus, national regulations, guidelines and pharmacopoeial monographs will have to be followed and applied in addition to EUGMP.

Zielgruppe

This Live Online Conference addresses specific GMP aspects to consider for Growers, Manufacturers, Start-Ups, Suppliers, Importers, Wholesalers, QPs and QA/QC personnel involved in Cannabis production and release. The topics provided are also of interest for GACP/GMP/GDP Inspectors responsible for issuing a "GMP certificate" or manufacturers/import license.
