Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Process Validation

Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Process Validation Course Description

This FIVE HOUR FDA Process Validation Training session is an interactive ON-LINE Seminar that can provide a channel to augment the understanding of the trainees regarding the Constant Process Verification, will be revised in detail: The training course includes all necessary information regarding where it begins; what it includes; and, when it ends.

The Process Validation Guidelines (January 2011) and the EU Annex 15: Requirement and Authentication (October 2015) outline the overall values and methods the two controlling bodies reflect suitable elements of process validation for the production of human and animal drugs and biological foodstuffs, including Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). This directive aligns Process Validation activities with a product life cycle concept and with existing FDA and EU guidance, including the FDA/International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), Guidance for Industry, Q8 (R2) Pharmaceutical Development, Q9 Quality Risk Management, and Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System. The life cycle concept, new to these Guidance, links creation and process development, qualification of the commercial manufacturing process, and maintenance of the process in a state of control during routine commercial production. This supervision also cares for process development and novelty through sound science and risk management. The new Process Validation Guideline/Practice includes elements of Process Validation as early as the Research and Development phase, and continues onward through Technology Transfer, into the Phase 1 IND Clinical Trial manufacturing phase, and ultimately into Phase 2 and 3, and then commercial manufacturing

Common Questions from Trainees

Participants of the FDA Process Validation Training often raise the following questions to strengthen their foundational understanding and practical application:

• How can the two approaches—phase-wise and stage-wise—be integrated effectively?
• At what point do they converge, and how do they interact in practice?
• Can these approaches exist independently, or must they complement each other to ensure product quality, safety, and compliance?
• To what extent should each approach be applied during the product lifecycle?
• How does Stage 3 (Continued Process Verification) address complex challenges such as viral inactivation and removal, impurity clearance, process consistency, solution stability, endotoxin levels, bioburden, and advanced cell culture testing (DNA and host cell proteins)?

These critical questions are thoroughly discussed in Stage 2 (Process Qualification), with emphasis on the integration of Process Validation with Phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical requirements—highlighting where they overlap, complement, or remain distinct.

👉 To maximize learning, the seminar strongly recommends that organizations send a multidisciplinary team (QA, QC, RA, manufacturing, and development professionals) to ensure a well-rounded perspective and maximum benefit from the training.

Learning Objectives – FDA Process Validation Training
