Drug shortages have been a long-standing challenge globally and while progress has been made through various regulatory measures and industry initiatives, the COVID-19 pandemic and the pressure it has placed on the drug supply, continues to demonstrate there is more work to be done. This session will provide a contemporary view of the drug shortage avoidance landscape and insight into existing and evolving regulatory requirements. Advanced industry and regulator experts will demonstrate risk evaluation practices and approaches for drug shortage avoidance at different altitudes through discussions regarding how: • Governments, manufacturers, distributors, and providers may reduce the frequency and duration of drug shortages through transparency, • Manufacturers may evaluate product availability risks in alignment with ICH Q9 and establish effective mitigation strategies, and • How risk-based sampling may mitigate interruption of critical drug product supply during disruptive events related to an FDA Import Alert 66-40. Join the DIA Regulatory Affairs Community for a follow up round table discussion (session #356 RT) on Wednesday, June 22, 3:00pm - 4:00pm.

Learning Objectives

Describe drug shortage avoidance topics and related pressures generated from COVID-19; Describe the importance of risk evaluation and mitigation approaches;industry-wide opportunities, manufacturer best practices, and challenges experienced during specific disruptive events; Identify the current and potential future state for risk analysis, manufacturing reliability, supply chain resiliency and regulatory requirements for uninterrupted supply of critical drug products for patients.
