Zielsetzung

The course will provide you with the necessary GMP/GACP knowledge for Herbal Drugs, Herbal Drug Preparations (e.g. Extracts) and Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPs). This includes regulatory & quality requirements as well as applicable pharmacopoeial monographs and challenges often encountered in HMPs, e.g. during stability studies.

In addition, more and more countries around the world legalize cannabis for medical use. But what qualifies as medical grade cannabis? And which aspects have to be considered in particular during Qualification/Validation? The dedicated Post-conference will provide you with the necessary details for medical cannabis products.

Hintergrund

Herbal Medicinal Products are accepted and widely-used remedies. Although several routes exist for HMPs to receive a marketing authorization, e.g. well-established or traditional use – or special cases like medical cannabis as “Formula magistralis / officinalis” without marketing authorization - they all need to fulfill the same pharmaceutical quality standards. However, HMPs have some very specific characteristics that must be taken into consideration for GMP compliant production, quality control, release and stability testing. Questions often raised include the following:
  • Which contaminants have to be considered?
  • Which microbiological provisions apply?
  • Which kind of decontamination procedures can be used?
  • Are there different requirements for herbal drugs, herbal drug preparations (like extracts) and the final HMP?
To provide more detailed information on these requirements, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recently published the final guidelines (Revision 3) on quality and specifications for herbal medicinal products (HMPs). Amongst others, a written GACP confirmation for the herbal substance should be provided either by the herbal drug supplier or the manufacturer of the active substance / the HMP. In addition, EMA´s HMPC is currently working on the revision of the GACP guideline and recently already published a concept paper.

Moreover, Qualification and Validation is an essential GMP requirement. Non-EU suppliers, who currently produce according to GPP, will have to implement EU-GMP standards if they want to supply herbal drugs like medical cannabis to the EU market. But which requirements apply? And what does it mean in practice? The post-conference will specifically answer these questions and provide you with practical examples.

Zielgruppe

This course is designed for all people in pharmaceutical and API industry’s quality control, regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, production and purchasing departments who need to establish, monitor and/or manage the quality of Herbal Drugs / Herbal Medicinal Products. The Post-conference specifically addresses Qualification/Validation aspects to consider for Growers, Manufacturers, Start-Ups, Suppliers, Importers, Wholesalers, QPs and QA/QC personnel involved in Cannabis production.
