Topic Groups

Acquisitions, Mergers, and Divestitures (AM&amp;D) are commonplace in life sciences, however the sophistication and complexity of on/off boarding assets is continually increasing. Focusing on these types of activities will continue to be a standard occurrence and increase in life sciences. (AM&amp;D) activities create challenges for all organizations involved; either when performing due diligence upfront or during the integration phase post-deal. The IRISS organization consists of broad membership across the sponsor, vendor, consultant, and service provider landscape. The IRISS (AM&amp;D) Topic Group is well positioned to facilitate the complexities of the (AM&amp;D) requirements across a wide array of global Regulatory and Corporate functions.

Mission:
The CMC discussion group is an ongoing effort by industry to share thoughts, ideas and practices which enable the efficient creation and management of regulatory Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls submissions around the world.

Who We Are:
The group is comprised of &gt;300 members from pharmaceutical companies, a few industry service providers as well as health authority representatives. Because of the varied expertise of the members (e.g., Regulatory RCMC, Regulatory Operations, Biologics, Small Molecules, US and EU) who share a common interest in CMC submission related issues, the group is able share experience and discuss the increasingly complex issues of managing the Quality modules of electronic submissions throughout product lifecycle. The group has been meeting regularly since 2005 and is responsible for many ICH Q&amp;As related to Quality, as well as publication of the CMC Industry Book of Knowledge on eCTD submissions.

China Regional is intended to serve as the communication platform for China regulatory operational expertise to address the emerging regulatory operational needs with China joining ICH since May 2017. While China CDE (Center for Drug Evaluation) is targeting to launch eCTD format for submission dossier filling and reviewing 4Q 2019, IRISS China Regional will first introduce China eCTD topic series to facilitate China eCTD guidance interpretation, discussion and implementation practice within industry.

自中国2017年5月成为ICH成员之后，有关注册法规运营的需求日益增长。“IRISS中国”旨在为中国的注册法规运营人才提供交流和讨论的专业平台。基于目前CDE(国家药品监督管理局药品审评中心)正在准备实施eCTD格式用于注册文件的递交和审评，“IRISS中国”将首先推出中国eCTD专题而促进中国eCTD政策解读和行业实施的讨论。

In the coming years, emerging technical advancements have the potential to transform the healthcare system. As part of this transformation, the pharmaceutical industry has an opportunity to leverage these advancements to improve operational processes. This includes applying digital technologies such as Robotic process automations, Artificial Intelligence including Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. As new approaches replace traditional methods; our industry will face complex challenges to implement disruptive innovation which will inevitably force changes to existing business processes while evolve existing business models based on achieved stakeholder value.

The Digitialization in Regulatory topic group icon

Digitalization in Regulatory

The need to provide enhanced product information to prescribers, product users and regulators, combined with a recognition of our increasing connectedness through technology enablement, opens up new pathways to deliver approved, high quality product information through electronic means. We see health authorities preparing to request more and more structured information, recently witnessed by the ePI (electronic Product Information) initiatives by EU EMA and Singapore HAS.

We envision a coalition across industry, regulators, health care professionals, vendors and product users, gathered together in the IRISS ePI topic group. This gives us all the opportunity to ensure that product information is delivered in line current regulatory standards. We can also identify early adopter countries for pilots, and streamline comments on evolving standards to best meet the needs of all end users of product information.

Focusing on the discussion and identification of approaches to documentation and dossier creation as well as global standards which maximize the reuse of information across markets. The group also seeks to identify and address issues arising from (1) the utilization of Alliance Partners, excluding technical solutions or technical interoperability, (2) differences in direction from Health Authorities and/or regional implementations, and (3) Implementation of global standards and submission issues/trends, including multi-disciplinary issues, e.g., Patient Safety reporting, adverse events, SDTM.
