Parexel assists in publication of PDA product quality resource

Parexel has lent its expertise to the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) in the creation of a new resource designed to help drug manufacturers to maximise product quality and safety.

The new document, Quality by Design: Putting Theory into Practice, is designed to provide pharmaceutical firms with guidance on how to achieve compliance with regulatory requirements while maintaining a cost-effective business performance.

Its lead author and editor is Dr Siegfried Schmitt, principal consultant at Parexel, who has also contributed chapters to the book alongside other experts from the healthcare sector.

According to Parexel, the publication provides companies with a way of navigating the increasingly exacting demands placed upon them by regulators.

"The collective expertise of the international group of subject matter experts represented in the Quality by Design compilation offers invaluable information to guide biopharmaceutical companies in emerging regulatory requirements," Dr Schmitt added.

Earlier this month, the company's Perceptive Informatics division launched DataLabs 5.0 Electronic Data Capture, an improved software solution for use in clinical trial management.
