Session 1: ICH Q2(R2)/Q14: Enhanced Approach to Analytical Procedures Development and Validation
This session delved into the nuances of AQbD as an enhanced method for analytical development. It emphasized the role of AQbD in reducing risks, producing robust methods, and its growing recognition by regulators for applications related to both small and large molecules, synthetic or biological drugs. The session also included updates on the ICH Q14 and Q2(R2) guidelines and their industry impact.
Session 2: Risk Mitigation in the Pharmaceutical QC Laboratory
The focus was on applying AQbD principles to mitigate risks in pharmaceutical QC laboratories. The session explored how using risk management tools and innovative technologies can ensure that analytical LC methods remain fit-for-purpose throughout their lifecycle.
