Impurities in small molecule active ingredients, excipients, medicinal products and packaging materials are important attributes in the assessment of quality and safety of medicinal products - this applies to all phases of the product life cycle. Not least the contamination by nitrosamines has changed regulators view of the subject and today we have to deal with the subject more intensively. Impurities are "on the move", applicants and marketing authorization holders need to anticipate potential impurities and to subsequently identify, specify and qualify respective compounds. This applies to projects with new products, but also to specific occasions, such as the renewal of marketing authorisations, the sourcing of new active substances and excipients, changes in production and site transfers.

Who should attend?

The course will provide an update on the current state of the art for the control of impurities in medicinal products with small molecules as API. It will provide a best practice guide how to control impurities and to avoid them by using appropriate approaches.There will be room for questions of the participants:

  • People in charge for development of synthesis and control strategy for small molecule APIs
  • People in charge for pharmaceutical development and control of medicinal products
  • Regulatory Affairs Personnel
  • Heads of quality control
  • EU Qualified Persons

Module 2: Genotoxic impurities
Duration about 85 minutes

The synthesis of drug substances involves the use of reactive chemicals, reagents, solvents, catalysts, and other processing aids. As a result of chemical synthesis or subsequent degradation, impurities reside in all drug substances and associated drug products. While the ICH Guidelines Q3A and Q3B and the resulting EMA guidance documents provides guidance for qualification and control for impurities which result from synthesis, degradation and/or reaction with excipients, in these documents limited guidance is provided for those impurities that are DNA reactive. This topic is covered by the ICH M7 guideline which a harmonised practical framework that is applicable to the identification, categorisation, qualification, and control of these mutagenic impurities to limit potential carcinogenic risk. All these aspects will be explained in the training.

  • Obligations for applicants and marketing authorization holders as defined in ICH M7
  • Risk assessment and toxicological aspects
  • Structural analysis | Q(SAR) | In silico methods
  • TTC approach
  • Control strategy and strategic aspects for setting acceptance criteria
