In the complex process from development to commercial distribution, each phase poses its own challenges in terms of providing assurance of the safety, efficacy, and quality of the product being developed. Dossiers submitted to regulatory authorities need to include comprehensive data that meets the specific requirements of each authority, which is a complex task. This webinar will look at some of the requirements of the various health authorities. It will also describe how the Lonza Advanced Synthesis team uses its extensive experience to assist in getting the filing right the first time, by compiling, writing and reviewing dossiers that meet all of the technical and quality requirements.
