Understanding the 'New' FDA Guide for Validation of Bioanalytical Methods

With SOPs, templates and examples for easy implementation

Recorded, available with all reference material at any time

Analyzing biological fluids is one on the most difficult tasks in analytical laboratories. Most challenging are interferences from matrices and decomposition products combined with low concentrations of analytes. Correct validation of bioanalytical methods according to 'New' FDA Guidance from September 2013 ensures reliability, consistency and accuracy of bioanalytical data. But because of the difficult nature of the analysis there are still many questions.

Key Questions related to Bioanalytical Method Validation are:

• What are FDA and international requirements?
• What is the difference to the existing guidances from FDA 2001 and EMA 2011
• What exactly are the expectations of inspectors?
• What is the scope of the guidance: small vs. large molecules, GLP  vs GCP?
• At what stage of the drug development should the method being validated?
• What parameters should be validated and how should they be tested?
• Which acceptance limits MUST be defined for small and large molecules?
• How to validate small and large molecules?
• When are stability indicating methods important?
• How should we document raw and source data?
• For how long should we archive validation documentation?
• What is 'incurred sample reanalysis?'
• What information should be included in regulatory submissions?
• I want to transfer a method from development to routine lab, do we need to revalidate?
• We want to transfer to an other site, do we need to revalidate?
• How to document bioanalytical method validation for the FDA?
• We have slightly changed our method, should we revalidate?

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 strategies and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• FDA regulations and guidelines
• Learning from the recent Crystal City and FDA/Industry conference reports
• Comparing the FDA guidances from 2001 and 2013
• Comparing the New FDA guidance with the guidance from EMA
• Phased approach for validation during drug development
• Scope of bioanalytical method validation: small vs. large molecules, GLP& GCP
• Development of a master plan and SOP for validation
• Defining validation parameters, acceptance limits and tests for small and large molecules
• Validation of methods based on chromatography and Ligand Binding Assays
• Working with QC samples for quantitative results
• Purpose and requirement for Incurred Sample Reanalysis (ISR)
• Conducting an Incurred Sample Reanalysis
• Requirements for system suitability testing
• Special considerations for endogenous compounds, biomarkers and diagnostic kits
• Documentation for the FDA and other agencies
