NERCSQA Webinar: Quality by Design Using a Risk Based Approach


Presented by:

Bernadette Bowen
 

This online webinar will be given via Zoom.

Although Quality by Design (QbD) is a well-established concept in clinical research, many organizations continue to face challenges in effectively implementing it to enhance the quality in their clinical trials. Routine monitoring, standardized protocol development, and traditional practices of managing clinical trials often fall short, leading to quality gaps that require costly remediation. But what is quality by design and how can a risk-based approach be used? While there is no official definition, according to ICH E6(R3) quality by design identifies “the factors (i.e., data and processes) that are critical to ensuring trial quality and the risks that threaten the integrity of those factors and ultimately the reliability of the trial results.” A risk-based approach enables sponsors to proactively identify and manage risks that significantly impact critical-to-quality (CtQ) factors, as outlined in ICH E8(R1), throughout the study lifecycle.

This presentation will provide practical guidance on applying QbD principles using a proportionate, risk-based approach—before trial initiation and throughout conduct—leveraging insights from ICH E6(R3) and E8(R1) to enhance clinical trial quality.
