(ISPE: Tampa, FL) -- The International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE), a global nonprofit association of 24,000 pharmaceutical science and manufacturing professionals, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are co-sponsoring FDA-ISPE Collaboration: Pharmaceutical Quality Systems, a highly-interactive two-day session to take place on June 9–10 at ISPE’s 2010 Washington Conference—"Applying Risk-based Approaches," being held at the JW Marriott in Washington, D.C., June 7–10.

As part of FDA’s pharmaceutical current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) for the 21st Century Initiative, the FDA, along with industry leaders and regulatory agencies from other countries, have identified key components of a modern pharmaceutical quality system in ICH Q10, the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines concerning pharmaceutical development and quality risk management. Co-sponsored by the FDA, this two-day seminar will provide a special “town hall” forum for the exchange of information between the FDA and the industry, and will focus on pharmaceutical quality systems and the implementation of elements that enhance its effectiveness.
“Regulators from around the world have always been very generous in sharing their knowledge and expertise with ISPE members and our conference attendees,” says ISPE president and CEO, Robert P. Best. “We are very privileged to again have their participation in our upcoming event in Washington.”
The ISPE 2010 Washington Conference brings together all levels of pharmaceutical industry professionals to network and benefit from a variety of seminars and training. The Washington Conference features include barrier, product quality lifecycle implementation/quality by design (PQLI/QbD), commissioning and qualification (C&Q), critical utilities, process validation, cleaning, biotechnology, Good Automated Manufacturing Practices (GAMP) guides, good practice guides (GPG), sustainability, and biologics manufacturing.
Several ISPE guidance documents will be launched or discussed at the Washington Conference including “GAMP Good Practice Guide: Manufacturing Execution Systems,” “GAMP Good Practice Guide: A Risk-Based Approach to Operation of GxP Computerized Systems,” and the “ISPE Good Practice Guide: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC).”
A MedImmune plant tour of their Therapeutic Protein facility is also featured as part of the Trends in Biologics Manufacturing session.
