Training overview
Part One – The investigation of out-of-specification and unexpected results
The training course “The Investigation of Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out of Trend (OOE/OOT) Analytical Results” aims to provide the tools to identify and classify anomalies found in analytical data that may constitute an out-of-specification, out-of-trend, or unexpected finding. In the first part of the training, we will focus on how to conduct a structured survey and perform an effective RCA aimed at identifying the actual root cause. Besides, throughout the day, regulatory references will be provided and the proper requirements for an investigation that is in compliance with regulatory expectations will be explained in depth, providing examples from the literature.
Part Two – The CAPA plan, OOS in stability data management and from supplier
In the second part of the course “The Investigation of Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out of Trend (OOE/OOT) Analytical Results” having acquired during the first part the necessary concepts for conducting a laboratory investigation related to out-of-specification results, we will focus on the management of the outlier data and its impact on the process/product. How to define an appropriate CAPA plan and effectiveness check will be examined. Then OOS results generated by third parties (suppliers, CMOs, analytical service providers) and the necessary actions (CAPA plan and follow up) towards suppliers will be addressed. In addition, OOS results from stability and consequent actions on the process/product and evaluation of regulatory impacts will be addressed.
