Considerations in design Quality Scale Location Flexibility
Quality Risk Management Fundamental to any GMP facility Up to you to demonstrate appropriate control and risk management Codified approach and toolkits Eudralex Volume 4 (framework) etc Complexity elevated in some regards with multi products Question: Controls between batches for single products within the same facility have to demonstrate prevention of cross-contamination. Is it different to preventing cross-contamination with a different batch of autologous product? Risk has to be understood and controlled
Risk Review R i s k C o m u n c a t Risk Assessment Risk Evaluation unacceptable Risk Control Risk Analysis Risk Reduction Risk Identification Review Events Risk Acceptance Initiate Quality Risk Management Process Output / Result of the M g e T l "Quality Risk Management is a systematic process for the assessment, control, communication and review of risks to the quality of the medicinal product across the product lifecycle." ICH Q9 Summarised nicely in ICH guidlines
QRM in reality for CGT multi product centre Future proofed Multi-user Multi-product including Viral vectors QMS & QA interface Client confidentiality EU/US GMP requirements Client expectations Risk Based Approach
QRM in reality Risk based approach Pragmatic Lean Solutions Future proofed Multi-user Multi-product including Viral vectors QMS & QA interface Client confidentiality EU/US GMP requirements Client expectations Risk based approach Lean Solutions Proportionate Physical vs Operational Active Process
Refresh of business model Flexibility for multiple ATMP processes and products Containment for simultaneous ATMP and viral vector manufacture Collaborators will occupy one or more modules Collaborators use their own production staff Collaborators use their own Process and Control documentation EU GMP compliance
External (production) Grade A/B processing environment Risk elements External (production) environment Support areas Cleanroom modules Grade A/B processing environment Personnel QC samples Human starting materials, raw materials and supplies Waste Product
Resulting operational control strategies Complete physical segregation of Grade B / C modules Containment for simultaneous ATMP and viral vector manufacture Simultaneous multiple collaborator occupancy and product manufacture Product segregation QC (IPC) segregation Logistics – incoming and dispatch Know-how and I.P. protection Data segregation Serviced QC space plus segregated space Core QMS with well defined interfaces with collaborator QMS
Design, build and inspection process Use it to better control risk
Stages of build Specification (URS) Build Commission Qualification Building/facilities Equipment Process validation
MHRA inspection stages To discuss strategy, design and operation Planning meetings Planning complete Full set of drawings Pre-building inspection To review progress Discuss changes/deviations During build site visits First formal inspection Facility commissioned Phased inspections Facility and equipment qualification Approval inspection Completion

QA
Controlled quality Manufacturing centre overarching quality systems Inspection and testing QP / QMS Raw materials testing and release Cyro and warehousing Logistics controls Facility License Client quality and manufacturing systems GMP trained operators Manufacturing records Batch release Quality technical agreement
Quality / technical agreement Details technical aspects of the contract between two parties Defines the responsibilities in place between both parties Inspectable by MHRA Will cover QMS Elements (Deviations, complaints, OOS/OOT, product recall, complaints etc.) Material sourcing Roles and Responsibilities Manufacturing modules Shared areas QP agreements
Conclusion
Conclude Quality Risk Management has to be applied to all facilities Assess, understand, manage risk Ongoing-process Reduces chance of failing to manage risk Use physical and operational solutions Physical often better but be pragmatic Regular and open communication with MHRA
