Proposed EU Guidelines to GMP Annex 1

Madhu Raju Saghee and Tim Sandle have written a review article about the sterility assurance changes expected from forthcoming update to EU GMP Annex 1. The abstract reads:

"To assist enhancement of sterility assurance programmes, this article highlights the main changes in the new draft Annex 1. In developing the draft, the European Medicines Agency made considerable efforts to integrate new concepts and facilitate the introduction and implementation of innovative technologies. To be proactive, it is advised that existing sterility assurance programmes be assessed against the changes to provide a gap assessment to understand the actions and resources required to align with the proposed new guidance."
