11:00 – 11:10 Welcome & Introduction Richard Johnson, President, PDAMarcel Ewals, Executive Director, PDA Asia PacificJavier Camposano, Steering Committee Chair, Vice President - Head of the Global Drug Product Expansion Division, Celltrion Inc.

This Virtual Conference will give an update on the manufacturing of sterile products and patient-friendly application systems. The goal is to present the latest on new technologies in fill-finish operations with the upcoming GMP regulations (Annex 1) in mind. The conference will also include insights into market and technology trends for more patient-friendly injection systems.

11:10 – 12:40 Session 1: Keynote 1: Aseptic Manufacturing in Times of Covid-19: Supply Chain, People, ManagementThe keynote presentation will address how a risk-based fast development of a vaccine in a pandemic situation could look like. A discussion will address challenges the pharmaceutical industry is facing in this pandemic situation.Moderator: Georg Roessling, PhD, Senior Consultant, Business Development Asia, PDA

11:10 – 12:10 Covid-19 Panel Discussion:Equipment Suppliers and Primary Packaging Material Providers Response to Covid-19 Panelists: Tobias Goettler, Wenzel Novak, Cathy Zhao, Ashwini Bhisikar, Brett Marshall, Matthias Poslovski

Although there have been several vaccine candidates that have entered into Phase III efficacy trials, there remains a slew of considerations that need to be taken into account: What is the greater impact of an approved vaccine on the Pharmaceutical Industry from a supply perspective? How will this affect the launch of other products that are currently in development? And are we logistically prepared as a society to handle the sudden outbreak of another pandemic?

12:10 – 12:40 Implementing a New PFS Line with Isolator during Covid-19Yu Jung Yang, Assistant Manager- Global Drug Product Expansion Team, Celltrion Inc.

12:40 – 13:10 Session 2: Keynote 2: Regulatory This session summarizes the essential aspects of the upcoming GMP regulation on manufacturing of sterile products (Annex 1) and the new requirements and its implications on manufacturing. The document was developed by regulatory experts from European Medicine Agency (EMA) and PIC/S and commented by industry experts e.g. PDA and other organisations from around the world.

Therefore, it will be the global standard for manufacturing of injectables. A panel discussion will follow the keynote presentation which will be given by a European inspector.

Moderator: Georg Roessling, PhD, Senior Consultant, Business Development Asia, PDA

16:15 – 18:15 S3-2: Manufacturing: - Smoke Studies and Sampling in Aseptic EnvironmentsProcess validation of injectables requires an aseptic process simulation (APS). This is to ensure that any interventions do not lead to product contamination. The session describes the regulatory requirements and how smoke studies can support APS. Case studies show how interventions and specifically sampling should be done in a way that mitigates contamination risk. An approach which is in compliance with the upcoming Annex 1.Moderator: Javier Camposano, Vice President - Head of the Global Drug Product Expansion Division, Celltrion Inc.
