On-line Audio Seminar 223

Managing Out of Trend Results in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Quality Control

Comply with the FDA and international guidances

Recorded

FDA's guidance on OOS test results requires failure investigations and other steps for Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out-of-trend (OOT) results. While most companies are familiar with and have procedures for OOS results, this is not the case for OOT situations. The guide states: "Although the subject of this document is OOS results, much of the guidance may be useful for examining results that are out of trend". Managing OOT results also helps to avoid time consuming OOS results. The industry is unsure how to interpret and implement the FDA guidance.

Key Questions related to OOT and related failure investigations are:

• What is an OOT results?
• What is the difference between OOS and OOT result?
• What does it mean: The guide 'may' also be useful for OOT results?
• 'How much' and 'what' of the guidance is useful for OOT results?
• What exactly are the expectations of inspectors?
• Can an OOT result trigger full investigations?
• Who has overall responsibility for evaluating OOT results?
• How to handle OOT results vs. OOS investigation?
• Can we release a batch even if the OOT result can not be resolved?
• How should we document OOT investigations?

How does the audio seminar help:

Answers will be presented by Dr. Ludwig Huber in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present the requirements of the new FDA OOS guidance and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, worksheets, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation. The SOPs have been updated according to the new FDA OOS guidance.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• FDA regulations and guidelines
• FDA's final Guidance for Industry: Investigating Out-of-Specification (OOS) Test Results for Pharmaceutical Production
• Difference between OOS and OOT results
• Developing SOPs for OOT situations and laboratory failures
• Investigating OOT results: what and how
• Retesting of OOT results
• Using historical data for OOT evaluation
• Using QC samples and product control charts for evaluation
• Developing corrective and preventive action plans
• Finding the root cause for OOT results
• Strategies to avoid OOS situations BEFORE they occur
• FDA compliant documentation of OOS, OOT, failure investigations, root causes and CAPA
• Examples: different types of case studies
