Our expert, Houri Simonian, Director, Analytical Operations at SGS will join this roundtable, which will feature a high level panel discussion by industry experts, with numerous opportunities for audience interaction – polls, Q&A and breakout networking sessions. This will provide a great opportunity to deep dive into specific topics, discuss opinions and gather insights from the wider pharma community.
Medicine regulatory authorities first became aware of the presence of the nitrosamine impurity N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in 2018. Since then, the work towards preventing and managing the presence of nitrosamine impurities in medicines has gained attention. Understanding when and where nitrosamines may become present in drug products has become a growing task for the pharmaceutical industry. A better understanding of the precursors and conditions that trigger their formation might lead the industry to reduce the possibility of nitrosamines appearing in pharmaceutical products, in order to assure the safety of patients and the quality of the final drug substance.
