The regulatory landscape for N-nitrosamines (nitrosamines) in pharmaceuticals is evolving. Following the initial product recalls of 2018 and issuance of Article 31 and Article 5(3) relating to nitrosamines concern, our invited speaker, Lance Smallshaw, and industry colleagues formed the EFPIA Nitrosamines Working Group. Over the last 5 years there has been an abundance of guidance, Q&As and pharmacopoeia general chapters from worldwide health authorities: ANVISA, FDA, EMA, Health Canada, Swissmedic, MHRA, PDMA, relating to both the control of simple N-nitrosamines: NDMA, NDEA, and the more recent discovery of the complex API derived nitrosamines (NDSRIs).
In this webinar, Lance Smallshaw, Head of Compendial Affairs at UCB Pharma S.A. (Belgium), will provide an overview of the regulatory landscape today including recent significant updates related to nitrosamines in human medicines. This webinar will also offer a perspective on the differences that exist between the health authorities, and explain how there is a continued need from the industry, to do more in order to harmonize these regional differences.
