The document discusses GMP compliance for clinical trial manufacturing on a global scale. It notes that while ICH guidelines provide standards, approaches to compliance vary significantly between countries depending on factors like a nation's development level. Oversight and enforcement are also inconsistent internationally. For clinical trials, understanding both local regulations and real-world enforcement is important when manufacturing, packaging, or distributing investigational products worldwide.

4. Basic of GMPs according to ICH
Instructions and procedures are clear and
unambiguous
Manufacturing processes are clearly defined and
controlled
Facilities designed to minimize cross-
contamination and mix-ups
Operators are trained
Records demonstrate that all required steps
were taken
Distribution minimizes any risk

5. Different approaches to GMPs
compliance depending on country
There is a global disequilibrium – quality
and compliance are different
A nation’s relative development dictates
the level of compliance they can afford
ICH signatories have the best quality
BRIC nations generally are struggling with
the cost of compliance, even while they
recognize the value for international
commerce

Structure
First step of compliance is
the quality system
structure
Next is facility design that
prevents cross
contamination and mix-
ups
Then control of materials
Finally documentation of
manufacturing

FDA conducts facility inspections for
products to be sold in the US
Doesn’t include CTM facilities
Doesn’t include clinical stage products
UK and EU use UK’s “Orange Guide” to
check compliance
China, Japan, India et al rely on local
inspectors

India don’t pay taxes for
their first ten years
They don’t go through
complex certification
procedures
Over 20,000 pharma
companies in India
Only 100 have been FDA
inspected

16. GMP in Russia
90% of materials used in Russia are from unknown
origins
Only one out of every five drugs purchased in
Russia is produced domestically
19 of the top 20 producers of drugs sold in Russia
are foreign owned
Only 50 of Russia’s 528 drug factories meet
international GMP standards
Before 1991 the state was the only
supplier, customer and authority to create
standards
Compliance to plan was more important than
compliance with GMP standards
InstantGMP: Electronic Manufacturing System for Small Pharmaceutical Operations
16
17. GMP in Russia
In 2004 the EU GMP Guideline was approved as
Russian national standard GOST R 52249-2004
National standards are not mandatory
documents according to Russian Law
There are multiple challenges to meeting GMP
in Russia including bureaucracy and corruption
Pharma 2020 is the government's intended fix
$6 billion in industry-wide investment in training and
infrastructure development, GMP practice
development and R&D
In the meantime, producing or distributing CTM
through CMOs in Russia carries some risk

18. Vendors
QA shall qualify vendors for materials
used in CTM
Phase 1 CTM
Paper based quality survey
Phase 2 CTM
Either a paper based quality survey or an on-site audit
Phase 3 CTM
On-site audit

19. Specifications
QA shall approve specifications of
materials and components
Test - A measurement of a quality attribute such as
potency or water content
Method - The procedure by which the quality
attribute is measured
Limit - The acceptable range for the attribute

23. GMP in Japan
Japan has meticulous, detailed and strategic local GMP
rules
You may not know if a Japanese supplier or distributer is
in compliance; you just have to trust them
Most GMP texts are in Japanese, rare to see local
pharmaceutical guidelines in English
Japan is a signatory of ICH, but there are differences
between Japan’s and International GMP
Japan applies a more thorough interpretation of GMPs
than ICH requires
The Local Government and Certification Bodies
administer GMP in Japan

Regulations issued in the 1980’s and
1990’s were supposed to strengthen
China’s pharmaceutical manufacturing
GMP 2010 has become law
Nearly 4,000 pharmaceutical companies
in China are small to medium size who
will need significant capital to meet new
standards

37. GMP in the UK
GMP in the UK is based on is the 1968 Medicines Act
“Guide to Good Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Practice” issued in 1971
Basis for US GMP regulations
Now known as the “Orange Guide”
Essential reference for all pharmaceutical
manufacturing and distributing in the European
continent.
GMP Inspectorate uses this document as their
reference for checking the compliance of companies
to EU GMP/GDP standards.

38. GMP in Brazil
In the 70s and 80s, steep price control, high
inflation, weak intellectual property rights and
absence of quality assurance affected drugs
ANIVSA (National Health Surveillance Agency like
our FDA) started regulating generics in the 90s
ANIVSA revised its GMP in 2000s to be in line with
WHO GMP standards
Now RDC 25 requires quality control and
compliance of pharmaceuticals made or imported
into Brazil
InstantGMP: Electronic Manufacturing System for Small Pharmaceutical Operations
38
39. GMP in Brazil
Despite the benefits of RDC 25 some manufacturers
opposed it due to the cost of compliance
RDC eventually was narrowed down and bases the
certification or approval to “risks” of the product
Risk levels 1 and 2 are considered low level while levels
3 and 4 are high
The determination of the product risks will be made by
ANIVSA
Only high risks pharmaceutical products require
certifications
Level 1 and 2 products are not subjected for registration
procedures

42. GMP in Taiwan
Regulated by Taiwan’s DOH (Department of Health)
1988, DOH’s required manufacturing plant to provide
PMFs (Plant Master File) as mandated by the
international GMP
1998, Taiwan applied for PIC/S Pharmaceutical
Inspection Co-Operation Scheme membership
In 2001, it expanded and updated its guidelines to
include product distribution and recall, plant
inspection, auditing and complaints.
Focused on export and international acceptance

44. Messages
No one GMP compliance system exists even
in countries that are signatories to ICH
BRIC countries want to become compliant, but
they have a long way to go
Most countries outside of Europe, Japan and
US have little control over quality or
compliance
If you are manufacturing, packaging or
distributing CTM world wide, you have to
understand both local regulations and how
they are (or are not) enforced
