Podcast: Don’t Risk Losing “Ownership” of Your Research IP as You Move to an Electronic R&D Environment
Sponsored By: Surety, LLC
As more laboratories and R&D-dependent bio-pharma and life sciences organizations move to electronic workflows in their lab environments, the need to protect Scientific Intellectual Property (trade secrets, formulas, ideas and collaboration) is paramount. But if you aren’t protecting the integrity of your research data in your lab management workflows, you risk losing ownership, revenue and potentially your business if you can't prove time of creation (“first-to-invent”) and authenticity. Surety hosted a podcast series with Michael Elliot of Atrium Research & Consulting and Timothy Carroll, Partner at Loeb & Loeb, LLP, discussing important topics that can improve your organization's IP data security and integrity.
The podcast series includes discussions on:
The podcast series includes discussions on:
• The benefits of an electronic R&D environment
• Across-the-board, data-level security controls that must be in place to protect Scientific Intellectual Property (IP) as the” lifeblood” of the organization
• How digital timestamp technology can act as “trusted witness” to protect the integrity and legally defend the authenticity and ownership of IP.
Listen in to this three-part series to gain valuable insights into effective and affordable IP protection for your electronic lab environment.

Nano-Scale Compounding via Hot Melt Extrusion (HME)
Author: Charlie Martin
Sponsored By: Leistritz
Hot melt extrusion is emerging as a preferred manufacturing methodology for dosage forms. The high cost and limited availability of raw materials during the development phase has resulted in the need to process small amounts of API’s/excipients via extrusion to determine process viability. Experimental data is presented on a new twin screw extrusion device that can process as little as 20 to 100 gram micro-batches, as well as a scale-up path. |

Risk Evaluation and Mitigations Strategies and the FDAAA
Authors: Debra Norman, Ph.D., JD & Gary Hindman, Ph.D.
Sponsored By: Beckloff Associates, Inc.
On March 25, 2008, new legislation designated as the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA; “the Act”) took effect, which directed FDA to develop a systematic, scientifically sound approach to managing the risk-benefit ratio of a drug throughout its lifecycle, with an explicit focus on postapproval safety. In September 2009, FDA announced a draft guidance to assist sponsors in the preparation of a REMS. The guidance provides links to a number of resources available at FDA to aid in REMS preparation. |

Procedure for Determining an Acceptable Daily Exposure under Risk-MaPP
Authors: Allan W. Ader, Robert G. Sussman, Tracy A. Kimmel, and Robert H. Ku
Sponsored By: SafeBridge Consultants, Inc.
From a product safety perspective, multi-purpose pharmaceutical and chemical plant manufacturing operations need to be able to adequately clean product contact surfaces, in order to prevent contamination from one product to the next. Contaminants may include active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”), cleaning agents, decomposition products, synthetic intermediates, excipients, or other residues. Previous approaches in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have been to establish safe or acceptable limits based on a percentage of the human therapeutic dose or of the lethal dose in laboratory animals. More scientifically supportable health-based risk assessment approaches have recently been issued by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (“ISPE”) under their Baseline Guide® Risk-Based Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Products (“Risk-MaPP”). The following paper describes the procedure employed to establish an Acceptable Daily Exposure (“ADE”) and the scientific rigor needed to establish defensible ADE values. |
