General Documents

  • EMA Draft Guidance – Guideline on Process Validation (29 March 2012)
    The guideline is brought into line with ICH Q8, Q9 and Q10 and replaces previous guideline on process validation. Continuous process verification (CPV) has been introduced as an alternative to process validation based on continuous monitoring of manufacturing performance.
  • EMA Guideline on Real Time Release testing (formerly Guideline on Parametric Release)
    This guideline outlines the requirements for applications that propose RTR testing for active substances, intermediates and finished products. It also outlines the different requirements that have to be fulfilled in the application and the need for interaction between quality assessors and GMP inspectors in the approval process.
  • FDA Draft Guidance - Tablet Scoring:Nomenclature, Labeling, and Data for Evaluation
    This guidance provides recommendations to sponsors of new drug applications (NDAs) and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) regarding what criteria should be met to facilitate the evaluation and labeling of tablets that have been scored.
  • A-Mab: A Case Study in Bioprocess Development
    Final version of the CMC Biotechnology Working Group’s QbD case study entitled “A-Mab: A Case Study in Bioprocess Development”. This is the culmination of over a year of work by participants of the BWG representing Abbott, Amgen, Genentech, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, MedImmune, and Pfizer, and work upon which PQLI will continue to build.
  • Pharmaceutical Development Case Study: “ACE Tablets”, prepared by CMC-IM Working Group (March 2008)

  • Mock P2 for "Examplain" Hydrochloride - Draft Discussion Paper
    The overall objective of this publication is to facilitate a scientific and regulatory dialogue between the Industry Association, EFPIA and Regulatory Authorities on the presentation of enhanced product and process understanding in regulatory dossiers, as suggested by ICH Q8 guideline and how this could provide opportunities to develop more flexible regulatory approaches.

Knowledge Briefs

ISPE has developed concise, summary documents called Knowledge Briefs to help address the industry's need for current, relevant, and useful content.

GMP Mini Regulation Handbooks

The GMP Institute (GMPI), founded in 1977 to help companies comply with FDA's GMP regulations, was acquired by ISPE in 2000. These handy pocket-size booklets are an ideal way to keep everyone informed of FDA regulations and guidelines.
