Course Description

Quality Agreements are a mainstay of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) sphere as defined in ICH Q7 Section 16.12, and in Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) as inferred in 21 CFR Part 58.1 and 58.35. They have become more common in the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) arena of clinical trial operations as risk-based study management becomes firmly established. Quality Agreements delineate the quality expectations of both the sponsor and outsourced provider and are structured in a shared agreement. Web seminar participants will learn the purpose of, factors that are considered in, and explore possible content of Quality Agreements.
