Workshop Overview

The objective of this workshop is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the importance and underlying principles of Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) requirements from a regulatory perspective. Attendees will gain in-depth knowledge of the CMC section of the Common Technical Document (CTD), the required format for regulatory submissions in Canada and the EU. This workshop will equip participants with the skills needed to effectively compile and present CMC data, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and facilitating successful submissions.

Who Should Attend​

This workshop is tailored for professionals involved in regulatory affairs, quality assurance, and product development within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. It is particularly beneficial for those responsible for compiling and submitting CMC data, including regulatory submission specialists, technical writers, project managers, and quality control personnel. Additionally, consultants and other stakeholders engaged in the preparation of regulatory submissions will find this workshop invaluable for understanding and meeting CMC requirements.

This workshop covers the following topics:

  • The Role of CMC in Drug Development
  • Nomenclature and Characterization of Drug Substances
  • Analytical Methods and Validation Techniques
  • Manufacturing Processes, In-Process Controls, and Process Validation
  • Developing Specifications for Drug Substances and Drug Products
  • Stability Testing, Stability-Indicating Methods, and Managing Acceptable Changes
