Technology Transfer Def
Activity collection (knowledge/info/skills) that ensures successful relocation of manufacturing process
Successful Relocation Def
Receiving unit consistently performs the transferred process in compliance with GMP specifications
Sending Unit Def
Disciplines at an organisation where designated API or medicinal product is transferred from
Receiving Unit Def
Involved disciplines at an organisation where designated API or medicinal product is being transferred to
Technology Transfer Reasons
Reasons occur at every point of natural development lifecycle; more capacity, economic advantages, ect
Purpose of Traditional Technological Transfer
Ensures appropriate development info is compiled in detail, transferred quickly and always available
What are Technological transfer documents applied to
Form manufacturing process basis, Meets acceptance criteria, Reduce failure (promotes common understanding), Validation & regulatory filling activities and Promotes continual improvement
What Is The Most Compliacted Part of Technological Transfer
Clinical Dev (Piolt Scale) and manufacturing scale (full scale)
Preapproval TT
Synthesis Dev (lab scale) to Clinical Dev (pilot scale, clinical trials). Also; Clinical Dev (pilot scale) to Manufacturing Site (full scale, commrcial batches)
Post Approval TT
Manufacturing Site (full scale) to Manufacturing Site (full scale)
TT Team
Multidisciplinary Nature: QA, QC, Production, Engineering, Reg Affairs, Dev labs and Dev departments
TT Team Initial Flow of Info
Unidirectional: Sending to Receiving Unit
TT Team Main Flow of Info
Bidirectional: Sending and Receiving units
TT Phases
Preparation, Implementation, Validation
Preparation Phase Outline
Knowledge & info capture from sending unit. Technical process eval, Technical facility eval, Process justification and Receiving unit preparation (prepairing & training). TT report
Implementation Phase Outline
Demonstrating; consistency, robustness & understanding of receiving unit. Trial and post trial activities (piolet/commercial scale batches). TT report update
Validation Phase Outline
Confirms consistency, robustness and understanding of receiving unit. Validation protocols, reports, manufacture validation, registration btaches. Validation report
