Clinical Materials: Changes and Comparability

By Jilla K. Boulas, 
Senior Regulatory Affairs Consultant

The development of a drug product is a long and costly journey which starts from basic research and moves down a path that requires much development, and takes turns at points where decisions have to be made. At the end of this path, one hopes to arrive at a safe and effective product for the treatment or prevention of a disease or condition. While commercialization of the product is one possible happy end to this long journey, one also has to be prepared to reach a potential dead end where the "no go" decision has to be made...

How do I manage my service providers more effectively?

Managing CROs, CMOs and material suppliers can be a daunting task, however it is critical to your Quality Management Program.
 
Conducting vendor qualification and routine audits can be a time consuming process for busy quality professionals. As a result, many companies consider using a full-time third party expert to oversee their CMOs, CROs, and suppliers. This saves time and provides an unbiased expert analysis of your partners. 
 
However, if you already have a Quality Auditing Group, there are a number of ways to utilize a part-time consultant. The consultant can provide audit support, or generate the auditing schedule by making risk based decisions on which suppliers to audit and when. In addition, this consultant can also manage and negotiate quality agreements with the suppliers. Again, saving time and providing expert support to your quality group.
