3-day Virtual Seminar

Implementing a Quality by Design Program for Drug Product Development

Overview

The benefits of applying the QbD principles in the pharmaceutical industry have been well advertised. Most important are the direct benefits to our primary customer, the patient. Per Janet Woodcock M.D. Director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Food and Drug Administration "All products are designed and developed to be of high quality; QbD provides a structured framework for developing, documenting and presenting development rationale, experience and knowledge of the formulation and the process, and to ensure manufacture of products consistently fit for patient use." Application of these principles can also benefit the pharmaceutical companies by improving manufacturing efficiency and promoting innovation.
