Regulatory agencies require pharmaceutical and medical device companies to have a systematic approach to managing all changes made to their facilities, products, and/or quality systems. Given the fact that changes are inevitable, it is essential that companies have a compliant and effective change control program to ensure that no unnecessary or cGMP-related changes occur. Documentation of change control, including document authoring, updates, archiving, and related activities is not only a critical component of this exercise but is also mandated by all global health authorities.
This course will discuss regulatory expectations from the FDA, EU, and ICH perspectives, review all the required components of a thorough change control program, and discuss the elements regarding the successful management of an effective change control system.
