DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Pharmaceutical Development of ATMPs" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the regulatory, quality and GMP requirements to consider when developing ATMPs
The programme will cover the regulatory landscape, the definition and classification of ATMPs and provide practical guidance on how to overcome quality and specific GMP challenges. Comparison of the differences between GMP for Advance Medicinal Therapeutic Product (ATMPs) and conventional therapeutics will be discussed.
Consideration of what is required for clinical trials and the preparation of the IMPD will also be addressed. Furthermore advice on the specific transportation requirements of these products will be included.
This programme will be of benefit to all those involved with or considering developing an AMTP.
