About:

The manufacturing of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) is intrinsically complex and a strong chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) strategy is vital due to the complex nature of these therapeutics and history of failures at both early and late stages. This training encompasses a comprehensive understanding of the primary technical and regulatory (FDA and EMA) challenges; focusing on the specific requirements for ADCs, which combine the targeting capabilities of antibodies with the cell-killing or effector capabilities of payload drugs. The overall operational excellence and Quality approach is highlighted as well as the critical points for control to ensure the consistency, purity and stability of ADCs, given their high potency and specific targeting mechanisms. Training also covers good manufacturing practices (GMP) procedures - especially tech transfer, documentation and facility controls. The latter being crucial for minimizing cross-contamination risks. This training combines theoretical knowledge with workshopping for deeper understanding to prepare professionals for the unique challenges in ADC manufacturing

Methodology:

The participants will acquire knowledge through interactive sessions that are structured like lectures, allocating ample time for various activities, Q&A sessions, and discussions. Additionally, the training emphasises practical learning, incorporating case studies, breakout sessions, interactive polls, and examples from real-case scenarios.

Key Outcomes:

  • An understanding of the mechanism of action and pharmacology important to success of ADCs
  • An understanding of the key steps and technical challenges of GMP ADC manufacture that create market-approval delays
  • An insight into Regulatory drivers and how this impacts assessment of filings
  • Operational excellence and Quality by Design (QbD) principles applied to ADCs
  • Change management and tech transfer for ADCs
  • Critical points for control to establish good CMC-compliant regulatory practices for ADCs

Training Schedule (12th & 13th December, 2024)

14:00 - 18:15 PM UK time

Additional Features:

  • Online participants zone – a single source for all training materials as well as pre and post training communications
  • Access to the recorded sessions for 7 days
