Clinical Trial Materials: Applying Production, Quality Assurance and Packaging Processes (T13)

Level: Fundamental/Intermediate - Application
ISPE CEUs: 1.3
Type: Classroom Training Course

Description

CTM Managers continue to play a critical role in a company’s ability to efficiently bring life-saving products to market. Unfortunately in todays high-pressure and time sensitive research environment, CTM Managers frequently learn while focusing on the specific requirements of an assigned trial, with less priority being given to the critical need for solid training in all aspects of CTM management.

In this course, you will receive a thorough overview of the clinical supply chain from beginning to end, including: designing appropriate packaging and labeling to match the study design, creating a plan of action to prepare the CTM and how to implement the plan and troubleshoot. The course will also cover the logistics of distribution of the CTM to the clinical sites globally. Important tools, such as outsourcing vendors for packaging and labeling and Interactive Response Technology will be covered to ensure familiarity with all the necessary concepts.

Participants will discuss the different roles of the Clinical Team and how they interact with the CTM group. We will also cover current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) and how they are implemented in the packaging process. The course will also provide a dictionary of terms used in the CTM industry and how they apply to our daily business. After taking this course, you’ll be better prepared to manage every aspect of CTM for your clinical trials!

Continuing Education Units 

ISPE will provide continuing education units (ISPE CEUs) for all North American seminars and courses, including educational programming at the ISPE Annual Meeting. CEUs are nationally recognized units of achievement designed for those individuals continuing their education in their chosen field or profession.

Delegates attending European seminars and courses will receive a Certificate of Attendance, as ISPE CEUs are currently not offered at European events. Verification of CEUs is based on attendance as well as satisfactory completion of all evaluation materials. Statements of credit will be sent via email within four weeks of evaluation materials. One hour of education programming equals 0.1 ISPE CEU credits.
