CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

Impurities may have a negative effect on the efficacy, safety, and quality of pharmaceutical components and products. The successful development and manufacturing of novel medications now depend heavily on the assessment of the impurity profiles as well as the management and monitoring of those. The diligent identification of nitrosamines and other genotoxic contaminants should be established at every step of drug development in order to comply with growing regulatory requirements and prevent costly recalls.

Our online meeting, which we organized in collaboration with industry professionals, aimed to showcase and discuss different perspectives on addressing the challenges caused by mutagenic impurities. We will go over drug impurity profiling techniques that follow regulatory guidelines, as well as useful tips for adhering to recent updates to ICH M7 and Q3D, new nitrosamine regulations, nitrosamine impurities determination and calculation, risk assessment for genotoxic impurities, analytical challenges, development of acceptance criteria and most recent developments in elemental impurity assessment.

Reserve your spot for this informative webinar so that you can leave with new ideas and best practices for managing genotoxic and elemental impurities.

WE WILL BE FOCUSING ON

  • N-nitrosamines and mutagenic impurities – drug substance quality considerations and in vivo fate of Nitrosamines
  • Emerging focus for drug product assessment for N-nitrosamines – perspective on quality, safety and regulatory environment
  • Toxicological risk assessment of Nitrosamines – challenges and perspectives
  • Reactivities of N-nitrosamines against Common Reagents and Reaction Conditions: Understanding the potential for Purge
  • Setting limits for NDSRIs
  • Nitrite scavengers as excipients for inhibition of N-nitrosamine formation in drug products
  • Addressing NDSRI Risks
  • Using relative potency of mutation and cancer data, to derive AI’s for Nitrosamines
