This is the advance programme. New speakers and sessions will be added. Visit www.diahome.org for the most recent additions to the programme.<br />
Theme 10 | CMC, Inspection and Assessment, Quality<br />
and Counterfeiting<br />
Georges France, Vice President Quality Strategy, Global Quality Operation,<br />
Pfizer, <strong>UK</strong><br />
Jean-Louis Robert, Head, Department of Medicines Control Laboratory,<br />
National Health Laboratory, Luxembourg<br />
This theme will address several different areas concerning the pharmaceutical<br />
quality of medicines. The latest developments in the new quality paradigm<br />
described by ICH Q8, Q9 and Q10, for drug substance and drug product will<br />
be discussed, focusing on the practical aspects and including the role of the<br />
pharmacopoeia. Opportunities available to the MA holder from combining good<br />
pharmaceutical development and quality risk management with an efficient<br />
quality system will be considered (e.g. post-approval change management<br />
protocols and the Variations Regulation). The theme will also explore the<br />
impact on quality and counterfeiting challenge arising from globalisation of<br />
pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply chains, and the recent European<br />
legislation concerning the development of paediatric medicines. Finally there<br />
will be an opportunity for participants to bring their own topics to the forum<br />
for debate.<br />

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS IN THE CONTEXT OF<br />
THE NEW QUALITY PARADIGM<br />
Session Chair:<br />
Jean-Louis Robert, Head, Department of Medicines Control Laboratory, National<br />
Health Laboratory, Luxembourg<br />
This session will cover the latest developments in the New Quality Paradigm<br />
impacting the development of drug substances (small molecule and biotech),<br />
drug products and how it can facilitate the implementation of new technologies.<br />
Molecules of Chemical Origin in the New Paradigm<br />

NEW PARADIGM, LATEST DEVELOPMENT (2): INTERACTION AND<br />
IMPLEMENTATION OF ICH Q8, Q9 AND Q10<br />
Session Chair:<br />
Georges France, Vice President Quality Strategy, Global Quality Operation, Pfizer,<br />
<strong>UK</strong><br />
This session will address the achievements of the ICH IWG to achieve consistent,<br />
harmonised implementation of Q8, Q9 and Q10, and consider the interaction of<br />
these guidelines with the practical implementation of the quality system and<br />
new approaches for process validation.<br />
An Update on Progress and Achievements of IWG Q8, Q9, Q10<br />
Jean-Louis Robert, Head, Department of Medicines Control Laboratory, National<br />

Medicines Agency, EU<br />
14:00-15:30 Session 1003<br />
VARIATION REGULATION: POST-APPROVAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT<br />
PROTOCOL<br />
Session Chair:<br />
Keith Pugh, Expert Pharmaceutical Assessor, MHRA, <strong>UK</strong><br />
A new variations system was introduced on 1 January 2010 (EC/1234/2008).<br />
The accompanying classification guideline introduces the concept of a<br />
post-approval change management protocol and addresses how updates in<br />
association with agreed protocols will be managed. The protocol is intended<br />
to help facilitate the management of post-approval changes to the quality<br />
aspects of the dossier, relating to both the active substance and finished<br />
product and is not restricted to variations. The session will clarify the principles<br />
and procedures related to this new concept as well as reflecting on the<br />
potential benefits in terms of simplification and flexibility and any experience<br />
to date.<br />
Post-Approval Change Management Protocols – a regulatory perspective<br />
Keith Pugh, Expert Pharmaceutical Assessor, MHRA, <strong>UK</strong><br />

16:00-17:30 Session 1004<br />
IS THERE A NEED FOR A PHARMACOPOEIA IN THE NEW QUALITY<br />
PARADIGM?<br />
Session Chair:<br />
Susanne Keitel, Director, European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines<br />
and Healthcare (EDQM), EU<br />
The “new quality paradigm” outlined in ICH guidelines Q8, Q9 and Q10<br />
offers additional flexibility to companies, e.g. in defining a design space and<br />
their control strategy, based on sound and in-depth development studies.<br />
The session will discuss the implications this new paradigm has on the<br />
pharmacopoeia – a compilation of legally binding quality standards - and<br />
will provide the viewpoint of EU regulators, the innovative and the generic<br />
industry and the pharmacopoeia on the future role of the pharmacopoeia in<br />
this new environment.<br />
A Regulator’s Expectations of the Pharmacopoeia in the New Quality<br />
Paradigm<br />
Keith McDonald, Assessment Team Manager, Licensing Division, MHRA, <strong>UK</strong><br />
How can the Pharmacopoeia Fulfil the Innovator’s Needs in the New Quality<br />
Paradigm?<br />
