Course Description:

Manufacturing an investigational product for the initial pilot clinical trials could pose a considerable logistical and financial challenge to developers. The first-in-man and pilot clinical trials are usually conducted in very small number of healthy participants with lower doses primarily to establish safety and hence do not need a significant amount of investigational material. The US FDA allows developers to test early stage investigational products under relaxed GMP requirements.

The manufacturing requirements for early stage clinical trials are designed to assure adequate quality of the investigational product being tested without the excessive regulatory burden of full-scale GMP manufacturing. This workshop will present the current regulations, guidance documents and regulatory strategies available for manufacturing an early development stage product for Phase I and first-in-man clinical trials. Also discussed will be logistical issues with managing the supply of an early stage investigational product, and requirements for stability testing, storage and shipping, labeling, and documentations. Issues specific to special products in early stages of development such as combination products and 505(b)(2) drugs will be discussed. Basics of process validation along to standard process development will be presented. Perspectives for different classes of products will be presented using case studies.



Who will Benefit:

  • Directors
  • Managers
  • Supervisors, and lead workers in Regulatory Affairs
  • Quality Assurance and Quality Control
  • Workers who will prepare GMP documents for early phase products as well as those who will review these documents
  • Regulatory affairs workers who will need to deal with submissions covering early phase products.

Local Attractions

The Philadelphia Museum of Art sits majestically on a rise at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The vast collections of this temple of art make it the third-largest art museum in the country, and an absolute must-see on the city's cultural circuit.

Among its impressive holdings in Renaissance, American, Impressionist and Modern art, some standouts include a great Rogier van der Weyden altarpiece, a large Bathers by Cezanne, a room devoted to Philadelphia's own Thomas Eakins, and Marcel Duchamp's notorious mixed-media Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors (The Large Glass), exactly as the dada master installed it.




With more than 3,600 acres of rolling hills and well-worn trails, Valley Forge is now a magnet for runners, bicyclists and picnickers as well as history buffs.

The vast expanse of open space links the Schuylkill River Trail to the Horse Shoe Trail, turning the park into a major hub in a 75-mile system linking Philadelphia to the Appalachian Trail.




The Liberty Bell has a new home, and it is as powerful and dramatic as the Bell itself. Throughout the expansive, light-filled Center, larger-than-life historic documents and graphic images explore the facts and the myths surrounding the Bell.




The 160,000-square-foot National Constitution Center explores and explains this amazing document through high-tech exhibits, artifacts, and interactive displays. The Kimmel Theater, a 350-seat star-shaped theater, features “Freedom Rising,” a multimedia production combining film, a live actor and video projection on a 360° screen to tell the stirring story of “We the people.”



An innovator in designing hands-on exhibits before “interactive” became a buzzword, The Franklin Institute is as clever as its namesake. Its eminently touchable attractions explore science in disciplines ranging from sports to space.

Highlights include The Sports Challenge, which uses virtual-reality technology to illustrate the physics of sports; The Train Factory's climb-aboard steam engine; Space Command's simulated earth-orbit research station; a fully equipped weather station; and exhibits on electricity.




The Barnes Foundation was created in 1922, a school originating with Barnes’ educational experimentation in his Argyrol (pharmaceutical) factory. Barnes and The Foundation’s first director of education, John Dewey, were interested in fostering cognitive development through new approaches to education, and in heightening critical-thinking and problem-solving skills through the study of art. Barnes, like Dewey, was actively engaged in development of an intellectual framework and educational philosophies and practices with many of the best artists and thinkers of his day.




One of Philadelphia’s most famous pieces of public art is a bigger-than-life boxer… literally. Originally created for Rocky III, the sculpture is now a real-life monument to a celluloid hero. The fictional Rocky Balboa of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky movies was immortalized in bronze in 1980. After filming for the movie completed, Stallone donated the statue to the City of Philadelphia.




Franklin Square, one of Philadelphia’s five original public squares laid out by William Penn in his original plan for the city, has undergone a dramatic renovation. The park now boasts several family-friendly attractions, including a miniature golf course, classic carousel, burger joint, storytelling bench, picnic area and more.
