The Method Lifecycle Management Podcast

In this episode of the Method Lifecycle Management Podcast, join Dr. Pauline McGregor, Consultant and Owner at PMcG Consulting, as she discusses instrument quality by design and its role in the development of a successful AQbD plan. 

Dr. Amanda Guiraldelli-Mahr, Scientific Affairs Manager at the United States Pharmacopeia, discusses the various components of the AQbD workflow including: the analytical target profile, method design, method validation, and performance verification.

Waters welcomes back Dr. Ewoud van Tricht where he builds on the last episode when he discussed how Janssen approaches vaccine development with analytical quality by design (AQbD). Today, he elaborates on the specific steps of AQbD and the advantages gained.

In today's episode, host Arjan Timmerman talks with Janssen senior scientist, Dr. Ewoud van Tricht, about his recent article, “Better Methods for Better Vaccines”, and how he approaches vaccine development with an analytical quality by design approach.

In our final installment of the nitrosamine podcast series, Dr. Teasdale concludes the topic discussing future regulatory guidance relative to nitrosamines and other mutagenic impurities.

In part two of The Nitrosamine Crisis, Dr. Teasdale talks about the challenges in nitrosamine testing and provides advice on facilitating accurate quantitation.

In part one of a 3-part series on the Nitrosamine crisis, Dr. Andrew Teasdale of AstraZeneca discusses regulatory expectations, reporting requirements, and minimizing risk relative to solvent contamination.

Pfizer's Dr. Pankaj Aggarwal discusses the use of data-driven modeling to build quality and robustness into analytical methods.

In Episode 6, Dr. Phil Nethercote discusses the factors that led to the beginnings of MLCM and QbD in 2004; his early days at GSK and the implementation of MLCM; and how Method Lifecycle Management might evolve.

Dr. Mark Argentine, Senior Research Advisor of Eli Lilly, discusses the benefits at Analytical Quality by Design, the challenges of identifying impurities and drug degradants, and regulatory and compliance barriers to enhance analytical controls.

Dr. Horacio Pappa, Director of the General Chapters Department, Global Science Division at USP, discusses the current regulatory landscape, guidance from USP and ICH, and implications for regulatory strategies relative to method lifecycle management. 

In Episode 3, Dr. Pauline McGregor discusses how MLCM is applied to the verification and transfer of compendial procedures including the importance of developing, defining, and refining the analytical control strategy.

In our second episode, we examine a method lifecycle management approach in monitoring method performance and applying MLCM to address real world issues like nitrosamines (ni-tros-a-mine) in Valsartan.

In our first episode, host Greg Martin of Complectors Consulting talks with Dr. Phil Borman of GSK about the advantages and influences of  method lifecycle management including analytical quality by design, risk assessment tools, ICH guidances, and opportunities to kick off the approach in your organization.

Thank you for your interest in the Method Lifecycle Management Podcast. Our aim is to bring together experts in method lifecycle management to discuss a variety of MLCM issues including, key concepts, regulatory drivers, challenges, adoption strategies, and real case studies. Our first episode will air on May 9 and focus on the factors driving adoption of a method lifecycle management approach and the benefits over traditional method management.  Please come back on May 9 for our inaugural episode.
