Stability Testing in Pharmaceutical Development Certification Program
Understanding critical attributes to develop the stability program to support pharmaceutical products and best practices to get the most out of your stability data, maintain compliance with GMP, FDA, ICH, and USP expectations throughout the product lifecycle
12-Part Live Training Webinar Series
Instructor: Kim Huynh-Ba Biography>>>
Registration Form ►This master class on the Stability Program for Pharmaceutical Products presents a thorough overview of the stability regulations and best practices whether you are working with new drug products, generic products, or even OTC products. It will cover pharmaceutical regulations, working processes, and drug development best practices used to maintain the quality and integrity of medicines and establish expiration dating of the product.
With a focus on smaller molecular weight drug substances and products, this comprehensive instructor-led 12-part live webinar series is designed to provide the knowledge necessary for building quality systems and maintain a compliant stability program such as validating stability indicating methods, handling stability out-of-specification investigations, establishing change control processes for the stability program, building a reference standard program, and responding to laboratory inspections.
The main regulatory documents will cover regulations from the US FDA, US Pharmacopeia, ICH guidances and other regional stability guidelines, as appropriate. This series will be accompanied by the technical book “Handbook of Stability Testing to support Pharmaceutical Development: Regulations, Methodologies and Best Practices”. This volume is a well-known reference in the stability community that contains concise yet comprehensive chapters from regulations to practical information to build your stability program.
With a total of 30 hours of live presentation and discussion, this live training series will consist of 12 live instructor-led training sessions of 2 hours each followed by a 30-minute live Q&A period. This will allow trainees to interact directly with the instructor and have their questions addressed. This method of delivery proves effective in providing trainees with ample time to take in, process, and put to use the information learned, and then to return to the next session with any questions. This method proves more effective than an intensive, short, saturated training program. The design and preparation of this live training program’s content is a result of years of proven industry experience and knowledge, ensuring trainees are provided with the most up to date and real-world information. This course is necessary for everyone who will develop stability protocols to support product registration or manage a stability program. It will particularly interest those from the quality or compliance departments involved in product development.
Upon completion of this master class, participants may choose to take and pass an online multiple-choice exam in order to receive a certificate of training for the “Stability Program to support Pharmaceutical Development” program. The live training series will be led by Kim Huynh-Ba, the editor of the book.
The series consists of twelve 2-hour live training webinars covering stability testing in pharmaceutical development as follows:

Part 1: Examining the FDA Guide to Inspections of Pharmaceutical Quality Control Laboratories
Key Requirements to Ensure Compliance, How to Defend Your Position During a Regulatory Audit and Understanding Key Inspection Differences in Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control
Live, Interactive Training Webinar
Date: Tuesday August 29, 2023
Time: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm ET (New York Time)
Instructor: Kim Huynh-Ba
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducts inspections and assessment of the Quality Control (QC) laboratories to determine if the organization comply with applicable law and regulations such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). The QC laboratory serves one of the most important pharmaceutical manufacturing and control functions because it provides analytical data and results of product release and stability studies according to the product registration to monitor product quality in the market. At the minimum, the QC laboratory should receive a comprehensive GMP evaluation every two years to maintain their obligation.
This instructor-led live training webinar will explain the essential functions of the quality control professional and discuss different types of audits and inspections. This live training session will also discuss critical areas from the FDA Guide to Inspection of Pharmaceutical Quality Control Laboratories that the laboratory personnel must know to ensure regulatory compliance and defend their positions during a regulatory inspection. This guide is an independent mechanism to ensure that the regulatory requirements of GMP are in place within either an internal or external laboratory and demonstrate the essential compliance elements. This should be part of any GMP training for the QC laboratories.
Learning Benefits:
- Compare Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control.
- Explain job functions and quality roles.
- Discuss different types of quality inspections.
- Understand expectations from the FDA Guide to Inspection of QC Lab.
- Perform effective quality auditing techniques.
- Understand performance-based quality systems.
- Improving documentation practices on the validation.

Instructor: Kim Huynh-Ba
Stability is a Critical Quality Attribute, and stability program plays an important role in the Drug Development Process. It is necessary to determine the storage condition and expiry of pharmaceutical products. Several international guidelines have been issued for stability program and companies must adhere to these requirements to gain market access to these countries. These requirements can be quite different such that conducting stability studies require significant resources commitment during development through commercialization. Therefore, maintaining a stability program in compliant state can be challenging and costly. This is essential to many companies with limited resources to focus on key components of stability studies and design the program accordingly.
This live and interactive session will focus on key issues to keep the stability program in compliance. It will review global stability guidelines Q1A(R2), discuss climatic zones and stability requirements of non-ICH countries.

Analytical methods are a major tool in the pharmaceutical development to control the quality and integrity of the active drug substance or drug product. Methods are normally developed at one site and then transferred to one or more sites during the drug development process or as a post-approval activity. Qualifying analysts to perform these methods is a critical activity that would significantly impact the launch of a product. Activities of a method transfer process must be managed effectively to deliver an analytical method from one site to another or one department to another.
This live, interactive webinar will present fundamental principles of a method transfer and discuss options to conduct method transfer. A review of USP <1224> will also be included and key factors that would influence the transfer of analytical methods from one site to another will also be discussed.
