Controlled Human Infection Studies: Proposals for guidance on how to design, develop and produce a challenge strain.

 

Report follows March Webinar run by hVIVO with HIC VAC, Wellcome Trust and IABS

Highlights:

  • Applicable local, national and regional guidelines on manufacture and use of challenge agents must be considered.
  • As challenge agents are biological products, ICH guidelines should be followed.
  • GMP contributes to the right execution of a process duly designed, developed and declared in the CMC documentation.
  • Good documentation practice is critical, for adherence to procedures and regulatory requirements and process reconstruction.
  • For challenge agents, a case-by-case approach should determine the extent of quality data (CMC and GMP) to be applied.
