Two Day Online Development of Combination Pharma Products Training Course: Mastering the Complexities of Drug/Device Combo Products (February 12-13, 2024)

DUBLIN, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Development of Combination Products: Critical Interactions Training Course" conference has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This program provides valuable insights into crafting an effective regulatory strategy while addressing crucial aspects of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and quality processes. It also sheds light on the data expectations essential for the Common Technical Document (CTD).

In today's medical industry landscape, drug/device and device/drug combination products are gaining prominence. However, their development and manufacturing pose intricate challenges, particularly in terms of quality and regulatory compliance.

Our interactive seminar serves as a guide to understanding both the European Union (EU) and US approaches to handling drug/device and device/drug combination products. We will delve into the prerequisites for the device technical file/design file, elucidate the regulations governing biological and synthetic drugs, and demystify the registration procedures for these innovative products.

Furthermore, this seminar will emphasize the interconnectedness of quality, regulatory affairs, research and development (R&D), and production functions. Delegates will benefit from a comprehensive overview of the specific requirements associated with these products and gain the opportunity to engage in insightful discussions with a subject matter expert. Join us to navigate the complexities of this dynamic field successfully.
