    Analytical Method Development and Validation

    Dates 2025 TBC, live online training

    Summary

    Regulatory guidance underpinning analytical method development and validation is changing.  Regulators are now emphasising a Quality by Design (QbD) approach to analytical methods that supports their suitability for use over their entire life cycle. New update on ICH guidance on method development and validation (ICH Q14 and ICH Q2 respectively) after its publication will be discussed. The purpose of this course is to set out these new guidances in the context of other compendial and regulatory agency expectations and to help attendees avoid common mistakes during the development and validation of test methods, whether for biological or chemical drugs. Key concepts such as the Analytical Target Profile (ATP) and Analytical Control Strategy (ACS) will be explained with examples. Test methods often lack robustness because of poor documentation, which can lead to errors or high variability during routine use or method transfer. A risk-based approach to method documentation is included in the course. Each day will conclude with a workshop that will give participants the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned.

    Learning Objectives

    By attending this course, you will:

    • Update on current regulatory expectations
    • How to write an effective ATP
    • How to set meaningful system suitability criteria as part of the overall ACS
    • Writing method validation, verification and transfer protocols and setting appropriate acceptance criteria
    • Allowable changes to compendial chromatographic methods
    • Parameter-specific validation acceptance criteria and system suitability limits (e.g., elemental impurities and residual solvents)
    • How to avoid common errors in test method documentation
    • Dealing with method validation failure
