Training overview

Investigational Medicinal Products, or IMPs, are defined as “a pharmaceutical form of an active ingredient or placebo that is tested or used as a reference in a clinical trial.”

In this context, Regulation (EU) No. 536/2014 “…on clinical trials on medicinal products for human use and repealing Directive 2001/20 / EC” aims to establish standardized regulations for conducting clinical trials in the European Union. This also involved a review of GMP requirements for Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs). To this end, Directive 2003/94 “…laying down the principles and guidelines of GMP relating to medicinal products for human use and investigational medicinal products for human use” was replaced by two directives: one specifically for commercial products and one for investigational medicinal products. At the same time, specific GMP guidelines for IMPs were issued, replacing Annex 13.

With the activation of the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) portal, the Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) 536/2014 is officially operational as of January 31, 2022, leading to a radical transformation of the system and to the harmonized management of the evaluation and supervision of clinical trials in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).

Also in consultation is the new: “Guideline on the responsibilities of the sponsor with regard to handling and shipping of investigational medicinal products for human use in accordance with Good Clinical Practice and Good Manufacturing Practice.”

So, what do these changes on IMPs’ regulation entail?

Manufacturing, release, and supply of IMPs: what is new and what are the new perspectives?

Do the GDPs apply to IMPs?

How should the QP, QA, Clinical Supply Manager, or auditor update in this area?

How to handle the interface areas between the manufacturer and the sponsor and what contractual agreements are required?

The training course “EU Updates on IMPs, Investigational Medicinal Products” will answer all these questions.
