The FDA’s approach to enforcing product safety and efficacy is evolving when it comes to CMOs and CROs. FDA is increasingly holding both sponsors and contract organizations responsible for a product’s safety and effectiveness. Whether in clinical trials or in the post-market stage, patient safety is the #1 driver for FDA enforcement. So how do you ensure your CMO or CRO can pass an inspection centered around your product? And will the agency only inspect the contracted manufacturer or trial monitor … or are there reasons why the inspector will visit you first?

Join supplier compliance expert, John Avellanet, and  learn how to strike a defensible balance between supplier oversight and contracted outsourcing. Get expert experience and advice on protecting yourself – and your contract partners – from regulatory enforcement, financial loss, and litigation.

Over the past 16 years, Mr. Avellanet has become a leading international expert on FDA regulatory compliance and taking advantage of cutting-edge techniques to bring new products to market and achieve cost-effective compliance. In his career, Mr. Avellanet has learned hard lessons on how to evaluate and manage critical suppliers – and how to avoid hidden pitfalls. His acclaimed book, Get to Market Now! Turn FDA Compliance into a Competitive Edge, has been repeatedly praised for its business-savvy advice and practical tips, giving readers a productivity advantage in today’s economy.
