GMP - THE HISTORY 1960 THALIDOMIDE marketed in West Germany then Canada & Britain as sleeping tablet, treatment for colds, flu etc. Pregnant women used for nausea. 1961 Alarm at the sudden increase in the birth of deformed infants ESTIMATED 10,000 INFANTS DEFORMED 1961 Withdrawal of Thalidomide DEMONSTRATED THAT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF NEW DRUGS HAD TO BE TIGHTENED

GMP - THE HISTORY 1962 World Health Assembly set out resolutions on drug safety and monitoring 1968 The Medicines Act introduced systems for • Product Licencing covering old (pre1968) and new medicines • Licencing of manufacturing sites • Licencing of Clinical Trials

GMP - Rules & Guidance • The Rules Governing Medicinal Products in the European Union • “Rules & Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Distributors 1997 (Orange Guide) • Annex 13 : Manufacture of Investigational Medicinal Products Guide only - no legal standing for clinical trials

EU Clinical Trials Directive • Directive 2001/20/EC • Implemented by 01May 2004 • Makes GMP & GCP a legal requirement • Requirement for QP to certify IMPs • Requires that IMP has been manufactured, packaged and distributed according to standards of GMP at least equivalent to 91/356/EEC • Audit of facility by MCA

Why GMP ?  Consistency  Control Quality Product

To achieve a quality product we must BUILD QUALITY into our systems and processes Q U A L IT Y We can’t TEST QUALITY into a product at the end

Building Blocks of GMP GMP Controlling Controlling Quality + Processes Quality Control Well trained staff Quality Assurance (QC) is about + (QA) is about testing materials testing processes Documentation + Good Premises/Equipment High Quality Product

Quality Standards GMP QA QC practice theory Q Quality Product

GMP - Why bother ? Mid 1980s • Several patients being treated for shock probably • Given Hydrocortisone Injection • Patients stops breathing and die • Warning issued on national news • Immediate MCA Investigation

Potential for Disaster Norcuron Hydrocortisone (Vecuronium Bromide) • Steroid • Musle relaxant used in • Anti inflammatory • Can help breathing surgery • relaxes respiratory muscles • patient can’t breathe unaided Both products filled into identical ampoules

GMP - Why ? • Both products were manufactured at same site ( Holland) • Batch of product dosed to baby was labelled at a different site in the UK Long, difficult investigation  manufacturing problem ?  labelling mix up ?

GMP - Why ? • Ampoules segregated on different tables but inspected in the same room • Samples of Norcuron, removed for in-process sample, were returned ( to save product / cost) to the batch • Samples returned to the wrong table • Appeared identical so not visually identified • Norcuron labelled as Hydrocortisone • Life saving drug mixed up with potentially life threatening drug

GMP - Why ? • Design of area for inspection (Not one product in area at one time) • Insufficient reconciliation ? • Documented evidence of sampling ? • Ampoules not differentiated ? • No investment in facilities ? • Management attitude to GMP

Quality Standards GMP is everyone’s responsibility
