Receive electronic copies of a Transfer SOP and a Transfer Master Plan.
Highlights
- Development of a regulatory Transfer Strategy
- Critical Quality Attributes to consider in Transfers of sterile and solid Dosage Forms
- Project Management & GMP-compliant Documentation of a Transfer
Zielgruppe
This course addresses to staff from Production, Engineering, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs and Project Management in charge of Transfer Projects. This involves Project Leaders and project team members, from receiving sites as well as from donor sites.
Zielsetzung
Participants will learn how to plan and execute a successful, GMP-compliant process transfer across the product life cycle—from development and scale-up through commercial manufacturing and post-approval. The course focuses on the key success factors: defining a regulatory strategy, setting up effective cross-functional project management, and establishing robust, GMP-aligned documentation and written procedures for all transfer activities – as required for example, in Chapter 4 of the EU GMP guide.
The training addresses typical real-world challenges, such as incomplete process knowledge, demonstrating equivalence after transfer, and discrepancies between filed process descriptions and the actual process at the sending site—meaning that transfers often become product maintenance projects with significant time and cost implications. The course also provides practical guidance on regulatory expectations, structuring milestones and deliverables, managing changes during transfer, identifying critical quality attributes (including for sterile and oral solid dosage forms), and designing documentation that meets GMP expectations.
