Technology Transfer of Pharmaceutical Products

Mastering Technology Transfer Processes and Control Strategies

 Technology Transfer (TT) is a critical task and is increasingly prevalent in the global pharmaceutical industry, with companies increasingly choosing to partner with external third parties in developing/manufacturing their medicines and balancing internationally both in-house and third-party development/manufacturing sites around the world.  

 

To achieve successful TTs, companies must understand the issues involved, have clarity of the roles and responsibilities of both sending units and receiving units, to enable efficient and cost-effective transfers of products and processes, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients, finished dosage forms and analytical methods. Such transfers often involve multiple processes involving different national and organisational cultures. Ineffective transfers can potentially create damaging delays that may impact operations or drive inefficiencies in supporting functions such as facilities, methods.  

 

Completion of this course will equip individuals with an understanding of how these and other factors may affect the TT process, including the importance of control strategies. The course features presentations, exercises and case studies, including content from RSSL’s own analytical lab experiences, to facilitate participant learning.
