Access Codema's Protocols for N-Nitrosamines Risk Assessments for Free

Codema has developed a series of protocols (RP890 and RP891) in response to EMA’s Directive EMA/189634/2019 on the risk assessment of N-Nitrosamine impurities.

Our world-class experts and auditors have designed the protocols in collaboration with European regulators, authorities and industry groups. They are based on ICH M7 and ICH Q9 principles and outline the requirements needed for a thorough evaluation of all risk factors for N-Nitrosamines formation in a drug product and its components.

The deadline set by EMA to complete the risk evaluations is on March 31, 2021. To support MAHs and their suppliers of APIs/excipients and in preparation of the confirmatory testing phase, some of Codema’s protocols are now accessible completely free of charge.

What our customers Say

<<At the beginning process, we were faced with a large number of nitrosamines risk assessments to perform for 60 to 70 different APIs. Thanks to Codema’s risk-based approach and recommendations, we are on track in completing the assessments and defining risk mitigation plans for our drug products. We found Codema’s protocols a powerful and well-detailed tool to gather and evaluate the information required for the assessment. Approaching our suppliers in an organized way, having clear guidelines and priorities saved us a lot of time and facilitated the communication with the suppliers. If more suppliers would adopt Codema’s harmonized approach and be familiar with the protocols, the entire industry would benefit of a prompter deliver of high-quality manufacturing data.>>
