Aseptic Fill & Finish of Biologics
16-18 June 2025, live online training
Request agenda
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.
