FDA’s Quality Metrics Program — What are the Latest Developments and How They May Impact Risk-Based Inspections
The FDA will soon begin collecting quality data from drugmakers to develop scorecards for companies that ultimately will determine how often they will be inspected. CDER’s new Office of Pharmaceutical Quality considered recommendations from a range of stakeholders and has released a draft guidance (7.27.15) outlining the manufacturing and postmarket quality metrics drugmakers need to collect.
This panel of industry experts will explore the current state of the FDA’s quality metrics program, stakeholder efforts and other programs under development. They’ll profile what activities have been performed to date, examining both the potential benefits and possible risks.
