COURSES FOR 2005
PROCESS ANALYTICAL TECHNOLOGIES (PAT): IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF DRUG PRODUCTS
A THREE-DAY INTENSIVE COURSE on THE EMERGING REGULATORY DEMANDS FOR IMPROVED DRUG QUALITY, FOCUSING on THE TOOLS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT PAT
28th, 29th and 30th November 2005, Kensington Park Hotel, Kensington, London, U.K.
COURSE BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
To provide attendees with (1) a summary of the regulatory guidelines describing the move to PAT and away from conventional sampling approaches; (2) a detailed overview of the methods most likely to provide the information needed to make PAT a success; (3) a description of the mathematical tools used to interpret the data stream from these methods; and (4) lessons to be learned from other industries (e.g., those involved in production of processed foods, dietary supplements, herbal medicines, and agricultural products), who are already using some aspects of PAT.
The emphasis on ever improving quality is a continued theme for regulatory agencies around the world. The most recent guidelines call for companies to employ non-invasive or minimally invasive methods for continuous process monitoring, an approach they term process analytical technologies (PAT). The PAT approach would allow excursions from specifications to be identified sooner and to analyze a larger proportion of the actual samples. If this could be done, drug products with greater consistency and higher quality would result.
This course will describe the most recent regulatory guidelines, the methods that currently exist to accomplish PAT implementation, and the mathematical methods required to evaluate such large data sets. Finally, lessons from other industries that employ PAT methods will be presented. At the end of the course, one should be fully versed on this emerging regulatory mandate, and be equipped to make intelligent decisions on the PAT strategy that makes sense for them.
Anyone involved in the development and manufacturing of any type of pharmaceutical product should consider attending. This would include those involved in research & development, quality control, quality assurance, fermentation, purification, formulation, and production. Those involved in overseeing these operations would benefit as well as those working at the bench or in the plant. This course will be beneficial for those involved in contract manufacturing as well as those producing their own products, whether they are generic or ethical products. Those involved in the manufacture of phytopharmaceuticals, vitamins, or dietary supplements would find it useful as well. All types of dosage forms will be discussed, including tablets, capsules, freeze-dried powders, liquids, microspheres, and topical preparations.

Mark C. Neil Manning, Ph.D.
Dr. Manning is Chief Scientific Officer for Legacy BioDesign LLC in the U.S.A. Previously, he was Chief Technical Officer at HTD BioSystems. Before that he held a position as Associate Professor of Pharmaceutics at the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy. He received his B.A. in Chemistry from Hope College and his Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from Northwestern University. After postdoctoral work at Colorado State University, he joined the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Kansas as Assistant Professor. In 1990, he joined the faculty at the School of Pharmacy at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, where he was co-founder and co-director of the University of Colorado Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (a joint enterprise between the schools of pharmacy and engineering). He has published over 100 scientific articles, received four U.S. patents, and has co-edited three books in the series, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. He has worked on a wide variety of formulation projects and drug delivery systems. His research interests include protein stabilization, drug delivery, and spectroscopy. Dr Manning has developed a very special interest in PAT and has lectured widely on the subject.
ABOUT THE COLLEGE
The European Continuing Education College, is now well established worldwide as the leading provider of up-to-date, pragmatically orientated, relevant short courses for Managers, Scientists, Engineers and Technicians. The College specialises in Courses for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare industries. These courses are tailor-made to the requirements of the industry and as a result provide information of tremendous benefit to those who may not necessarily be at the forefront of knowledge in a particular area. Over the years our pharmaceutical courses, under the Direction of Professor Mike Rubinstein, have proved extremely popular and are often heavily oversubscribed. This success is mainly due to the very careful selection of material and lectures for the Courses, to the provision of workshops, clinics, case studies and discussion sessions, to the very extensive course notes provided and to small group participation.
Presenters are very carefully chosen from academia and the industry who are both experts and accomplished teachers and great care is taken to ensure that the Courses are right up-to-date and that there is proper integration of both the theoretical and practical considerations of the subject. All material is reviewed and assessed to make sure it is pertinent and relevant. Demonstrations, Case Studies and Workshops of actual pharmaceutical equipment, processes and methods are general features of most of the College courses. In addition most of our courses include problem solving sessions and recently the College has introduced E.C.E.C. Technical Clinics. Participants on our courses can let us know beforehand or bring with them, a particular problem or problems pertinent to the subject area of the course, which they would like advice about. This advice will be given either confidentially or more usually at a special open discussion session during the course, at which other participants can offer their advice and experience as well.
The E.C.E.C.also provides tailor-made in-house courses for Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Healthcare companies.
If you would like further details of our forthcoming Courses, please ask our Office to put you on our mailing list. If you require details of our in house course service, please contact our Office for more information.
