What to Expect

  • The new EMA quality guideline: Structure and core requirements
  • CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation) contribution to CMC strategy and regulatory dossier integration
  • The sponsors perspective: Owning CMC strategy across the lifecycle

Who Should Attend

This seminar is designed for regulatory affairs specialists and CMC managers working with radiopharmaceuticals in pharmaceutical companies, hospital pharmacies, CDMOs, or regulatory authorities who need to navigate the current and upcoming EMA requirements with confidence.

Objective of the Event

Radiopharmaceuticals are subject to a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. At its centre stands the ongoing revision of the EMA's core quality guideline. Beyond this revision, further legislative updates are on the horizon (e.g. revision of ICH M4Q, emerging EU additional quality master file system).
This seminar provides a practical, application-oriented overview of the current and forthcoming EU regulatory framework for radiopharmaceuticals, covering CMC and quality requirements. Bringing together regulatory authority, CDMO, and sponsor perspectives in one program, participants gain both a solid understanding of regulatory requirements and direct insight into how they translate into daily practice, also at the "interfaces".
With major regulatory revisions still in progress, early awareness is key, giving your company the opportunity to assess implications and start preparing in good time.
Please note that the content addressed on the EMA Guideline on Quality of Radiopharmaceuticals refers to the draft version of the guideline currently in place.

Your Benefit

After attending this seminar, you will be able to:
#Follow the ongoing revision of the EMA Guideline on Quality of Radiopharmaceuticals and assess its potential implications for your regulatory and CMC work.

  • Apply current CMC requirements specific to radiopharmaceuticals, including stability testing, specification setting, and correct integration into the CTD framework.
  • Prepare and manage marketing authorisation applications and CMC variations with confidence, avoiding common pitfalls in dossier preparation.
  • Understand the role of CDMOs and suppliers in radiopharmaceutical CMC strategy and integrate externally generated data compliantly into regulatory dossiers.
  • Apply a sponsor-led perspective on CMC lifecycle management, from clinical development through to post-approval variations.
