Regulatory Education for Industry (REdI) and CERSI Workshop: Current State and Future Expectations of Translational Modeling Strategies to Support Drug Product Development, Manufacturing Changes and Controls – Sep. 23-25, 2019
8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Eastern
Physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM) can facilitate the incorporation of clinical relevance in product quality from initial development through marketing approval to lifecycle management, thereby minimizing the need of additional in vivo BE studies, leading to reducing cost in product development and supporting regulatory decisions. The purpose of this workshop is to identify and begin to fill the gaps in knowledge on the use of PBBM for drug product quality (e.g., to study in vivo impact of formulation and manufacturing changes).
The workshop will provide a forum for regulators, drug developers, and academicians to:
1) identify biopharmaceutics and modeling strategies (including model development, verification, and validation) to facilitate formulation development and to enhance risk management of bioperformance over the product’s life cycle;
2) demonstrate the rewards and challenges of coupling biopredictive dissolution testing with translational PBBM; and
3) identify knowledge gaps, and a path forward to advance the application of PBBM.
This workshop is a collaboration between FDA's Division of Biopharmaceutics, Office of Pharmaceutical Quality in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), CDER Small Business and Industry Assistance (SBIA), the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI).
Intended Audience
This workshop is open to the public. The intended audience includes:
- those with an interest in PBBM and its application in the incorporation of clinical relevance in product quality and for drug product lifecycle management;
- those with a background in pharmaceutical science, chemistry, clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics;
- regulatory agencies, academic institutions, and the pharmaceutical industry.
