Quality & Compliance

We help you ensure that phase-appropriate compliant systems are in place so your program stays aligned with "Quality by Design" principles and ahead of the curve—without wasting resources, capital, or generating excessive bureaucracy.

Our industry-experienced experts have implemented dozens of quality systems within the biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, medical device, and combination product industries. We assist with organizational activities, plans, policies, procedures, and processes and provide the resources to design, implement, and maintain a quality system that delivers quality, compliant drug products.

We develop and implement quality systems in accordance with:

  • FDA Phase 1 GMPs
  • Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR 210 and 211, 600, 601, 610, 820 and 1271)
  • Combination Products GMPs (21 CFR 4)
  • Pharmaceutical Development (ICH Q8)
  • Risk Management (ICH Q9)
  • Quality Systems (ICH Q10)
  • Good Manufacturing Practices for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (ICH Q7)
  • EU Good Manufacturing Practices (Eudralex Volume 4) and EU Annex 1
  • The PIC/S Guide to Good Manufacturing Practices

Inspection readiness

To ensure successful inspections, we conduct a risk evaluation well in advance of your inspection window. This assessment may identify high-risk areas in your supply chain, informing an inspection readiness plan and effective resource allocation. Inspection readiness also runs to gap assessment against the FDA System Approach, European and other international regulations, or more specialty regulations, like Annex 1 for sterile drug production manufacturing, data integrity compliance, or good laboratory practices. We also plan and execute these for 3rd parties.

Internal & external audits

The generation and execution of a comprehensive phase-appropriate quality audit program is critical for regulatory and developmental success. We combine specialized in-house experience and the use of a proprietary toolkit when customizing an audit for your program. Whether preparing for and supporting an external GMP audit by a global regulator [pre-approval inspection (PAI), pre-licensing inspection (PLI)] or planning and executing an internal audit, our team offers comprehensive capabilities in support of agency audits. We also plan and execute audits of third parties (e.g., suppliers and contract testing/manufacturing sites) on behalf of client sponsors.

Common requests include:

  • Vendor audits
  • CDMO audits
  • Mock pre-licensure inspection (PLI) support
  • Other mock audits, including FDA inspection dress rehearsal, clinical phase GMP audit, or strategic session

QMS Remediation

QMS remediation addresses gaps in US, EU, and ANVISA GMP based on guidances, regulations, directives, and norms from these regions. This includes performance of a gap assessment, a subsequent report, and preparation of inspection sub-system remediation quality plans to focus work efforts and prioritization. This can apply to any or all of the six inspection subsystems: quality system, production controls, facilities and equipment, laboratory controls, materials control, and packaging and labeling.
