A recent report from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) highlights that global regulators are strongly committed to sharing plans for good manufacturing practice (GMP) inspections of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) suppliers yet have made only moderate progress toward sharing inspection reports in recent years. Joint inspections remain a challenging area, evidenced by a 50% decrease compared to the previous reporting period.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued two warning letters to a sterile drug manufacturer and an over-the-counter (OTC) drug maker in the US for multiple violations of good manufacturing practices (GMPs). These violations included inadequate contamination controls, failure to investigate batch issues, and insufficient testing of components.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revised its compliance program guide (CPG) for preapproval inspections (PAIs) for new drugs. This update emphasizes a risk-based approach to making decisions about the necessity of inspections and clarifies the agency’s use of alternative methods instead of relying solely on onsite inspections.
Industry groups and legal experts want the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make significant revisions to a proposed guidance on how pharmaceutical manufacturers should address Form 483 observations after a current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) inspection.
The top observations identified in Form 483 reports from inspections conducted under the recently implemented Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) include risk management, outsourcing and purchasing, and complaint handling and feedback.
Marty Makary, the Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), announced a new pilot program promising one-day inspections for low-risk facilities on Wednesday.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued warning letters to several firms that have violated current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements, and one firm that has failed to submit an approved application for premarket approval (PMA).
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued three warning letters to facilities in China, the US, and India for noncompliance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs). Additionally, FDA sent an untitled letter was to Incyte for making misleading claims about a product on its website.
Key changes with the QMSR include a greater focus on risk management, a culture of quality, and lifecycle integration. One of the biggest changes, officials said, is that risk is at the center of quality processes
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent a warning letter on 10 March to Novo Nordisk at its Plainsboro, NJ, site for a raft of postmarketing adverse drug experience (PADE) violations, including failing to report adverse events for patients taking the company's GLP-1 treatments indicated for diabetes and weight management.
