The webinar discussed the essential aspects of nitrosamines impurities, which can be carcinogenic and require manufacturers to evaluate their products.

This Tuesday 27th October Azierta organized a professional webinar on nitrosamines impurities with 231 attendees. Ana Maria Castro, Industrial Area Manager, and Javier Fernandez, Senior Toxicology Officer, presented the content in two different blocks with special attention to the control and surveillance strategy.

The purpose of this webinar, which was developed online, is to provide guidance on how Marketing Authorisation Holders (MAHs) should conduct a proper analysis of products at risk of containing nitrosamines impurities, which could lead manufacturers to change the manufacturing process. The FDA and the EMA are providing MAHs with guidance on how to comply with this measure after it has been demonstrated that nitrosamines impurities can be carcinogenic.

New deadlines have been agreed for mandatory risk assessment, 31 March 2021 for chemical medicines and 1 July 2021 for biological medicines.
