Opportunities and challenges from ICH Q2 (2) and Q14 for the analytical lifecycle
Join our experts, and by attending this webinar, you will:
- Gain a clearer understanding of the updates in ICH Q2 (R2) and Q14, as well as the primary challenges these guidelines pose throughout the analytical lifecycle.
- Explore opportunities to leverage the improved approach for more efficient, science- and risk-based analytical development, including smarter utilisation of development and validation data.
- Assess the potential long-term effects of widespread Q2/Q14 adoption on industry practices, regulatory engagement, and the shift towards a more adaptable and sustainable analytical lifecycle.
- Explore the role of established conditions within ICH Q2 (R2) and Q14, and their impact on lifecycle flexibility, regulatory expectations, and method robustness.
Event Overview
This webinar will examine the opportunities and challenges posed by ICH Q2 (R2) and Q14, highlighting what’s new and why it matters for the analytical lifespan. We will discuss how the improved approach supports a more efficient lifecycle, covering practical topics such as reusing development data in validation studies and questioning whether established conditions are the ultimate answer. Lastly, we’ll explore future directions for these concepts, offering a forward-looking perspective on the next phase of analytical development and lifecycle management.
