 Environmental Monitoring (EM)

  1. A 2-hour introductory overview of EM for cellular therapies.  Includes available sampling methods and equipment for all phases from early clinical development such as Phase 1-2, or those advancing to Phase 3 or beyond toward licensure and commercial.  Great for those new to EM programs in GMP / GTP setting or new to cell therapy applications.
  2. Session on designing, implementing, managing an appropriate risk-based EM program.  A great way to start making EM program more efficient and meaningful.

Rapid Sterility

  1. A 2-hour session to provide guidance on validating or bringing in-house rapid or alternate sterility testing for cell therapy products, whether in-process or final product or both.  Validation strategies compliant with FDA biologics 21 CFR 610.12 are given.  Further training ensures that tests are performed appropriately to protect against contamination, are adequately investigated should positives occur, and are maintained in a validated state whether in-house or transferred to other site.  Excellent for those considering bringing sterility testing in-house from contract lab, or those desiring to reduce turnaround time.
