(Boot Camp II) SAFEBRIDGE® ADVANCED CONCEPTS IN POTENT COMPOUND SAFETY
(BOOT CAMP II) SCHEDULE
Day 1 |
| Time |
Topics - A blend of lecture, exercises and scenarios |
| 8:00 |
Introduction
Overview of drug development process |
| 8:30 |
Drug Discovery Drug discovery involves the creation of new chemical entities (NCEs) and new biological entities (NBEs) at the laboratory bench. NCEs and NBEs are handled in milligram to gram quantities with researchers working very close to their materials in work environments typified by standard control devices (lab hoods, biological safety cabinets) and limited personal protective equipment (lab coats, gloves, safety glasses).
This module will examine:
Evaluation of compounds based on the literature, experience, computer modeling and early testing;
Identification of the unique risks of the research laboratory; and
Selection and verification of effective control strategies.
|
| 10:15 |
Break |
| 10:30 |
Drug Development –Early Stages
NCEs and NBEs showing promise begin
to be scaled up in kilo laboratories
and drug product work begins in pre-formulation
laboratories and formulation development suites.
Pre-clinical data becomes available and small
safety studies are initiated including Phase
I safety and efficacy studies. Research and
development staff may now be working with
multi-gram and kilogram quantities of materials.
It can be common that exposure controls are not
much more advanced than those found in the discovery labs.
Real risk management challenges are possible if the drugs are
pharmacologically potent and toxic at
levels found in these work environments.
This module will examine:
Evaluation of toxicity and clinical data;
Evaluation of worker exposure at increasing scales of operation;
Enhanced controls; and
Development and effective use of IH data.
|
| 12:15 |
Lunch |
| 1:00 |
Drug Development – Late Stages
As drugs successfully move beyond basic
demonstration of safety and efficacy
in patient populations, broader studies
are initiated requiring more drug substance
and drug products manufactured in cGMP environments.
Chemical pilot plants, clinical manufacturing suites
and support laboratories are utilized at this stage.
Small companies will engage contract manufacturing organizations
(CMOs) and project management takes on increased importance. More
pharmacology and toxicology data will become available which require
prudent interpretation and utilization to assess potential workplace risk.
Operations become more varied and control options are more numerous; however,
the occupational health concerns have to be balanced with the requirements for
product quality for the clinical materials manufactured.
Preparations also begin for larger scale manufacturing including
potential site selection in Phase III.
This module will examine:
Evaluation of more complex data;
Application to quantitative risk assessment; and
Implementation and demonstration of effective controls at larger scales.
|
| 2:30 |
Break |
| 2:45 |
Commercial Scale Operations
Sufficient data exist at the time of a New Drug Application
to develop all the assessment tools required for scientific
determination of safe operations including OELs, ASLs, ADIs and monitoring methods.
Additionally the environmental aspects of a drug reaching this stage
should have been studied and requirements for Environmental Assessments
should have been met. CMOs should have been appropriately selected
and in place as necessary along with any internal manufacturing sites.
All control options are
available in these manufacturing environments
and selection of the best approaches must be balanced with productivity requirements
This module will examine:
Application of defensible limits;
Evaluation of CMOs; and
The concept of product safe handling guidelines.

Cancellation
and Substitution Policy
Your notice
of cancellation must be received in writing (by letter, fax or email)
10 working days before the training course. All cancellations will result
in a cancellation charge of 50% of the registration fee. The balance of
the registration fee will be returned if the cancellation notification
is received 10 working days in advance of the course. No refund will be
