Presentation Summary:
Current FDA Initiatives - What are the requirements
and how do we meet them?
This talk will address recent regulatory initiatives at FDA's
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. FDA has used
risk-based strategies as part of its regulatory process for
over a decade, but has refined its views in guidance and
harmonization processes through its "Pharmaceutical
cGMPs for the 21st Century" (2002) and its "Council for
Pharmaceutical Quality" (2005). As a result of these
efforts, the CMC review program in microbiology is
committed to improving the regulatory process through
Quality by Design (ICH Q8r1) approaches that will
enhance product and process knowledge throughout the
product life-cycle, and also emphasizes these in product
development, e.g., the IND.
Advantages of obtaining product and process knowledge
will be discussed and examples of regulatory initiatives
that work with this knowledge will be presented in the
context of moving toward the desired state in the
pharmaceutical industry.
Intended Audience:
• Production supervisors and management
• Quality Assurance
• Quality Control Engineers
• Critical Systems and Maintenance
• Training Department
• Documentation Department
• Auditing Department
• Legal Departments
Our Speaker:
David Hussong is the Associate Director for New
Drug Microbiology in the Office of
Pharmaceutical Science in FDA's Center for
Drug Evaluation and Research. He directs the
staff that reviews microbiological quality aspects
described in the Chemistry, Manufacturing and
Controls technical section of new drug
applications. He is also a member of USP's
2005 2010 Microbiology and Sterility Assurance
committee.
David earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in microbiology
from the University of Maryland and has served
as a laboratory researcher at the US
Department of Agriculture, and the Office of
Naval Research. He has published several
papers on microbial populations in the natural
environment, and published focused studies of
Salmonella and Legionella that included new
methods for their detection. He also performed
research at FDA's Center for Biologics, studying
antigens of Pertussis and Mycobacteria spp.
He has 25 years of FDA experience and is a
Commissioned Officer in the US Public Health
Service
