    Aseptic Fill & Finish of Biologics

    16-18 June 2025, live online training

    Summary

    This 3-day course provides learning of the key challenges, regulatory expectations, applied technologies and best practices in Fill & Finish of Biologics including Biological and ATMP products. As Biological/ ATMP (Advanced Therapy) products require Aseptic processing where the principles of Quality Risk Management (QRM) apply and a Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) is required there are a number of key factors to take into account and these key points will be covered in training.

    Who should attend?

    • Senior QA / QC
    • Regulatory compliance professionals
    • Materials Science and Technology (MSAT) teams
    • Production management and operatives in Aseptic process Filling operations of biological products / ATMPs
    • Project engineers and technologists (Filling and barrier technology)

    Learning Objectives

    • Keep current and learn about new regulation changes e.g., EU GMP Annex 1 and the key points that impact biological product Fill & Finish and possible compliance gaps.
    • Learn about the full expectations of applying QRM and what a CCS is expected to cover in the process of defining the approach to sterile product manufacturing including organisational, technical and procedural control measures.
    • Understand the expectation of collective effectiveness with EM & PM with trend metrics that drive continuous improvement through the product life cycle.
    • Learn about the key challenges related to biological product filling including sensitivity to disinfection oxidising agents (VHP) and how to manage/control impact on products to meet regulatory and product quality requirements.
    • Learn about the technologies that are integrated into filling process platforms to meet the various critical quality attributes of biological products.
    • Learn about best practices in biological product aseptic manufacturing and regulatory observations in non-compliance.
    • Learn about the trends and future of biological product Fill & Finish.

    Key Topics

    • Regulations and regulatory expectations in Fill & Finish of biological products
    • Contamination Control Strategies (CCS)
    • Aseptic-Containment strategies
    • Bio-compatibility of biological products and gaseous disinfection residuals (vH202/VHP)
    • Risks assessments in contamination control and environmental monitoring
    • Regulatory expectations on Assurance of Sterility of Direct and In-direct product contact parts
    • Expectations in good cleanroom behaviour and good aseptic technique inside barrier technology
    • Technologies in Aseptic process filling of biological products and their integration into filling platforms
    • Digitalisation of EM (Environmental monitoring) and PM (Process monitoring) data
    • Trends in Aseptic manufacturing
