GAMP® Data Integrity by Design Part 2 

Clearly defined business rules and metrics derived from these rules will form an important foundation to efficiently detect potential data integrity problems during review for early intervention before they impact quality and safety.

In this clip from the 2020 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo session “GAMP® Data Integrity by Design Part 2,” Rob Dillman, Informatics Specialist-Data Integrity, Eli Lilly and Company, highlights examples of business rules.


Flexible & Modular Manufacturing

Approximately 25% of all NCEs are classified as high-potency with OELs (occupational exposure limits) below 10ug/m3 with this number expected to grow. Typically, pharmaceutical companies will either outsource high-potency products (40% of all outsourced products are classified as high-potency) or create dedicated facilities.

In this clip of the 2020 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo session “Flexible and Modular Manufacturing,” Emily Gullotti, Associate Principal Scientist, Merck, gives us look into Merck’s innovative strategy to build the FLEx Center (Formulation, Laboratory and Experimentation Center), a new, state-of-the-art facility with flexible, high-potency manufacturing to include both modular and podular design features.
