Join Association for Accessible Medicines, U.S. FDA, and USP to learn how participating in USP standards development can enhance product quality and regulatory predictability across a drug product’s lifecycle – from discovery to delivery.

Public quality standards are universally recognized as essential tools that support the design, manufacture, testing, and regulation of drug substances and products. USP standards play a critical role in helping ensure the quality and safety of medicines marketed in the United States and worldwide. Attendees will gain insights into the USP standards development process and learn how they can sponsor or participate via public comment in the development of future standards.

Topics covered

  • FDA’s responsibility in USP standards development
  • Value/role of USP monographs for FDA
  • How the use of standards - and demonstrated compliance - factor into FDA’s regulatory activities
  • Industry’s position in USP standards development
  • Manufacturers’ part in the establishment of USP standards
  • Overview of USP standards in regulatory framework
  • Discussion of the USP revision process
  • How to get involved in monograph development
