One only has to look at the most common deficiencies cited by regulatory auditors to know that this activity continues to cause companies to struggle with how to implement and then manage such a program. Challenges faced include when to implement change control\, the proper documentation of changes\, the assessment of the overall impact to qualified systems and then how to assure the effectiveness of the changes made. A second challenge faced by manufacturing facilities is the review and approval of such changes before they are implemented and the larger the company\, the greater the pressures not to delay such changes. \n\nThis course will look at the following items through a combination of classroom instruction\, group activities\, handouts and actual case studies to help illustrate the main points of an effective change control program. Topics will include the regulatory requirements for change control\, the main topics to include in a change control SOP and examples of a change control form to use for the documentation and evaluation of changes. In addition\, the course will use actual class examples of various changes and then perform an evaluation of how to assess the change and its potential impact. Handouts will include examples of a change control SOP and form used for the documentation of proposed changes with the opportunity to openly discuss questions and make suggestions. Challenges faced by companies to maintain such systems will also be discussed along with the control of changes made to controlled documents. \nTopics to be covered\n\nReview of regulatory requirements for change control by both the FDA and Health Canada\nReview of the type of changes that can occur to equipment\, utilities\, systems\, facilities\, and documents.\nDiscuss when change control should be implemented and cases where it is not necessary.\nReview topics to be considered during impact assessment of changes...such as training\, procedures\, drawings\, regulatory issues\, third party customer impact\, additional testing needs\, safety issues\, etc.\nDiscuss challenges faced by industry delays in implementation\, review process\, capturing all changes proposed\, emergency changes\, evaluation of effectiveness of changes made.\nClass exercise discuss an actual change and how the assessment process would work.\nReview the format for both a change control SOP and form for its documentation.\nDiscuss an example of an actual SOP and form used for change control.

Regulatory Authorities including Health Canada have focused on Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP) pertaining to the Pharmaceutical Industry. There is also an emphasis on benefit-risk evaluation\, and risk management rather than passive drug safety surveillance alone. Regulatory compliance including requirements for Annual Safety updates (PSUR/PBRER)\, may also include a necessity for a Pharmacovigilance (PV) plan\, and Risk Management Plan (RMP)\, based on the benefit-risk profile of a drug. Recent changes in the Canadian Food and Drug Act (Bill C-17) have provided Health Canada with significantly more authority to protect Canadians from unsafe drugs\, which include strengthen oversight of pharmaceuticals and medical devices\, and authority to act on safety issues (including post-marketing requirements\, labelling modification\, product recall\, stop-sales\, or other corrective action) including non-compliance (with significant fines). \n\nHealth Canada implemented an inspection program for Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP) in 2004. The program is intended to verify that Market Authorization Holders (MAH) and importers\, meet the requirements of sections C.01.016 to C.01.020\, C.08.007 (h) and C.08.008 (c) of the Food and Drug Regulations. \n\nGuidance documents released by Health Canada help to ensure uniform application of these requirements by the industry and include: 1) Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP) Guidelines (GUI-0102) (which outlines the interpretations of the regulations with respect to the adverse drug reaction and post-approval reporting requirements)\, 2) the revised Risk Classification of GVP Observations (GUI-0063)\, and 3) the Inspection Strategy for GVP for Drugs (POL-0041). \n\nThe European Medicines Agency is the medicines regulatory authorities in EU Member States. They cover medicines authorized centrally via the Agency as well as medicines authorized at national level. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) have provided a comprehensive document on GVP as a set of measures to facilitate the performance of pharmacovigilance in the European Union (EU). It is the best benchmark for GVP internationally. It contains 16 modules covering major pharmacovigilance processes. \nAbstract\nThis course\, will be cover the Health Canada regulations for Drug Safety and related guidance documents\, along with selected EMA GVP documents. Participants will obtain a core understanding of compliance requirements for Good Pharmacovigilance Practices. \n\nA one-day comprehensive & interactive seminar\, covering the following items:\n\n\nSections of the Health Canada Food and Drug Act pertaining to Drug Safety activities\nNew Regulations introduced in Canada (Bill C-17)\nHealth Canada Guidelines GUI-0102\, GUI-0063\, and POL-0041\nSelected EMA GVP documents including:\n\nPharmacovigilance systems and their quality systems\nPharmacovigilance system master file\nPharmacovigilance inspections\nPharmacovigilance audits\nRisk Management systems\nManagement and reporting of adverse reactions to medicinal products\nPeriodic safety update report\nPost-authorizations safety studies\n\n\n\nWho should attend:\n\nDrug Safety Associates and Managers\nClinical Research Associates and Managers involved in Phase IV studies\nContract Research Organizations with a drug safety role\nPersonnel involved in Medical Information Services\nCompany personnel initiating a Drug Safety team or having concerns regarding ADR\n\nCertificate of Attendance and Course Material\n\nAll participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completion of the course.\nThe participants will be receiving specially prepared course manual.
