September 8, 2016 – Manufacturing and Packing –
Philadelphia, USA – September 08, 2016. Leading pharmaceutical provider PCI Pharma Services will bring its expertise to the stage at Cell and Gene Therapy Europe (September 20-22, 2016) with an international case study on the remote qualified person (QP) certification of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs).
On September 21 at the Maritim proArte Hotel, Berlin, Dr Shawn Murtough, Associate Quality Director, PCI Clinical Services, will outline the key challenges and solutions that can arise during QP certification of ATMPs.
The presentation will be part of a wider session entitled ëHow are ATMP companies dealing with late-phase clinical and commercial scale logistics challenges in Europe?í
In his case study, Dr Murtough will explore the evolving Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) framework for ATMPs and consider whether new requirements for falsified medicines and data integrity can be fully applicable to ATMP supplies.
During this presentation Dr Murtough will also consider how the approach to QP certification differs between EU and non-EU manufactured ATMPs; and the specific challenges that the remote QP faces when certifying ATMPs for human use.
