Abstract: This presentation explains the regulatory challenges FDA encounters with current manufacturers outsourcing globally and the role and responsibilities for those participating in outsourcing of biotech products. Currently, many firms outsource parts of their manufacturing processes and services. Among the motivators to practice outsourcing, economics and faster product manufacturing play major roles. This new trend of doing business imposes new demands on FDA’s already limited resources. FDA wants to support every effort that would facilitate the approval of safe and quality products for the American public in United States. Therefore, it is important to gain a full understanding on the impact outsourcing has on the firms and on the FDA, along with the responsibilities for participants of these cooperative arrangements. This understanding can facilitate compliance with FDA regulations.
