FDA Overview and Update

Sponsored by  

FDA has had another active year on DSCSA implementation, including issuing guidances, holding meetings, and conducting a pilot program. At the same time, the Agency is actively responding to unprecedented issues, such as COVID-19, that have required high-priority attention.

This session will provide an opportunity to hear directly from the Agency on upcoming milestones, additional Agency actions as well as their expectations for the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Overview of Recent and Upcoming DSCSA Requirements

Sponsored by  

FDA and the supply chain are continuing efforts to meet applicable and upcoming DSCSA requirements taking effect between now and November 2023, when the statute’s full Traceability requirements are reached. HDA will provide an overview of recent and upcoming DSCSA milestones, as well as FDA’s implementing guidances, regulations and policies (both proposed and final, including those that are not specific to DSCSA, but nevertheless involve the DSCSA’s requirements). This session also will describe the DSCSA’s requirements effective on November 27, 2023, with some suggestions for where we go from here when establishing policies to meet the DSCSA’s end point.
