Cleaning Validation
Ensure Cross-Contamination Control and GMP Compliance
The manufacture of medicinal products in shared facilities carries the inherent risk of cross-contamination through the carry-over of active substances or starting materials. To mitigate this, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) mandates a rigorous toxicological evaluation to establish health-based exposure limits. SAXOCON provides the specialized expertise required to calculate and document these thresholds, ensuring your cleaning validation protocols are both safe and compliant.
SAXOCON provides the technical foundation for your cleaning validation strategy, including:
- Comprehensive Data Review: A detailed assessment of all available non-clinical and clinical data to inform safety limits.
- Predictive Modelling: Utilizing (Q)SAR and other in-silico models to fill critical data gaps for legacy or poorly characterized substances.
- PDE Derivation: Establishing Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) limits strictly following EMA/CHMP/CVMP/SWP/169430/2012 guidelines for shared manufacturing facilities.
- Hazard Identification: Pinpointing major toxicological risks, such as sensitizing agents or substances with genotoxic potential.
- Mutagenic Impurity Control: Managing mutagenic risks using the principles and methodologies described in ICH M7.
