Dear Colleagues,

In the name of the Program Planning Committee, please be warmly invited to join the inaugural PDA Europe Virtual Conference Aseptic Animal Health!

Manufacturers of products for veterinary use face specific challenges. Due to lower product prices compared to human pharma products, it is crucial that cost efficiency is considered in the design of manufacturing processes. The GxP regulations for animal health products today are nearly as strict as we know from human pharma. Also, veterinary products need to be available for a large number of different species. 

The EU has officially adopted a new legislation on veterinary medicines applicable in all EU countries from 28 January 2022. The new regulation brings significant changes to the way animal medicines are regulated in the market authorization process but also in manufacturing, distribution, retail and controls. These changes are considered to stimulate innovation and to improve the availability of animal medicines. Another main area of the new regulation is to address public health risks arising from antibiotic resistance.

Regulatory representatives and industry experts will join discussions on challenges associated with the implementation of the new Veterinary Medicines Regulation. Attendees will also hear their expert insights on the Mutual Recognition Agreement between US and Europe.
Relevant topics such as Animal Vaccines and advanced therapies for livestock but also companion animals will be complemented by sessions focusing on Quality & Data Integrity or Technical Aspects of Veterinary Manufacture.

Be sure to join us this October!

Sincerely,

The Chair

Mai X. Huynh, 
U.S. FDA

Program Highlights

Representatives from the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board will join the online event to share their views on challenges associated with the implementation of the new Veterinary Medicines Regulation, and their expert insights on the Mutual Recognition Agreement between US and Europe. The distinguished program also will include an update from the VICH Quality Expert Working Group. 
To complement the exciting presentations from the regulatory realm, industry experts will will provide insights into recent innovations and technical specifics of manufacture of veterinary health products, including Animal Vaccines.

Module I: Opening & Updates in the Regulatory Landscape
13:00-15:30 CEST

The new Veterinary Medicines Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/6) will modernize the existing rules on the authorization and use of veterinary medicines in the European Union (EU) when it becomes applicable on 28 January 2022. Key benefits of the regulation include increased availability and access to safe and high-quality medicines for veterinarians, farmers and pet owners to treat and prevent animal diseases; reduced administrative burden and better incentives for pharmaceutical companies developing new and innovative veterinary medicines, benefiting in particular micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); and new and enhanced rules to keep antimicrobials (including antibiotics) effective based on a 'One health' approach for the benefit of animal and public health and every EU citizen.
