Managing CMC Activities for the Development of Oligonucleotide Therapeutics

This workshop will examine CMC development of oligonucleotide therapeutics through interactive discussions. Review the key CMC concepts for oligonucleotide therapeutics and the successes and challenges for the platforms that have already progressed to product approval. Explore the use of oligonucleotides in complex and emerging modalities and assess the next generation of manufacturing platforms. Assess oligonucleotide impurities, their guidelines and how these should be controlled and addressed through interactive discussions. Delve into the regulatory expectations by phase of development and how to plan for the end goal, and understand how this can be applied to future projects

Key CMC development milestones for oligonucleotide therapeutics –Complex and emerging modalities / manufacturing platforms

  • Review of key CMC concepts for oligonucleotide therapeutics
  • CMC challenges and successes for the platforms that have already progressed to product approval
  • Review of the ‘next generation’ manufacturing platforms and use of oligonucleotides in complex and emerging modalities
  • Leveraging CMC synergies between ‘legacy oligonucleotides’ and complex /emerging modalities and acknowledging the new frontiers in the CMC development path

    Addressing impurities and their control

  • ICH Impurity guidelines
  • Oligonucleotide Impurities: ID and control strategies, and Formation and fate
  • We thought the analytics for 20’mers and siRNA were complex. When you multiply the chain length by 5 – and / or conjugate the oligonucleotide, what is the multiplier for the complexity of impurity control?
  • Mass spec-based impurity method vs. orthogonal chromatography methods, or all of above?
  • Connecting Module 3 and Module 2 in demonstrating impurity control

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
