ISPE will host industry regulators and experts at its upcoming Strasbourg Conference and report on key findings from the landmark European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) Quality by Design (QbD) Application workshop.

Tampa, FL, August 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- ISPE, a global not-for-profit association of 25,000 pharmaceutical science and manufacturing professionals, will host industry regulators and experts at its upcoming Strasbourg Conference and report on key findings from the landmark European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) Quality by Design (QbD) Application workshop.

Attendees at ISPE’s Strasbourg Conference — being held 28 September through 1 October, 2009 at the Palais des Congrès — will be able to hear the latest news about the proposed ICH training program from members of the ICH Implementation Working Group. Attendees will also hear regulator and industry feedback from the previous day’s EMEA/EFPIA workshop where industry representatives will present case studies and exchange views on QbD implementation with European assessors and EU inspectors.

A summary of the EMEA/EFPIA workshop, as well as the lessons learned from the case studies, will be presented during ISPE’s “PQLI - Global Realization and Implementation of the ICH Quality Vision” session in Strasbourg. Attendees will also gain a greater understanding of QbD’s impact on the European Pharmacopoeia, receive a status report on the progression of the Q11 guideline on Development and Manufacture of Drug Substances through EFPIA’s Mock S2 and — through a series of presentations and break-out sessions — discuss how ISPE’s Product Quality Lifecycle Implementation® PQLI® initiative can assist in the application of QbD to development and manufacturing, as well as how it can improve overall business performance.

In addition, ISPE and INTERPHEX have organized a tabletop vendor exhibition and a variety of networking receptions that will allow exhibit attendees to engage and network with fellow seminar delegates, vendors, colleagues, and like-minded professionals from around the world. Siemens is the recognized host sponsor of the conference, exhibition, and receptions.
