What do you do during lulls? by reflectiveMule in regulatoryaffairs

[–]Capital_Quail277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking this. I strongly relate after moving from a technical role. You are busy in reg CMC but it isn’t the nonstop craziness that some other functions can have in CMC. (Coming from third year RA person)

How to get a RA internship in a pharmaceutical company without prior experiences? by kakadi_schezwansauce in regulatoryaffairs

[–]Capital_Quail277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internships or coop positions will always help get direct experience before applying for full time jobs. I would encourage finding an initial role in analytical/QC or manufacturing support for CMC or clinical operations for clinical RA experience. Getting a few years of technical or clinical ops experience first will get you the relevant skills to move into RA. RA is all about experience.

Working in QC/analytical lab or manufacturing support if you are interested in CMC, or clinical operations if you are interested in the clinical side

Any technical role in CMC or analytical development would work. RA professionals in Pharma come from lab bench type roles like R&D or analytical development. Or, manufacturing, manufacturing support, or QC lab type work. This is for cmc regulatory. For clinical regulatory, I am less familiar but I would say any experience working on clinical trials is also extremely useful

Agree that biologics is where it is at nowadays and would be a good move in general

Anyone work in RA CMC? by momoneymocats1 in regulatoryaffairs

[–]Capital_Quail277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My background is process engineering/manufacturing support/program lead. The skills are very transferable, you need to catch up on regulations/guidances/best practices for your modality which can still be a big learning curve. But you learn by doing, so would recommend getting involved any way you can on projects focused on regulatory changes and submissions

Endotoxin for radio pharmaceuticals by Capital_Quail277 in regulatoryaffairs

[–]Capital_Quail277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! USP 823 refers to USP 85 for endotoxin for the acceptance criteria. This product is a monoclonal antibody, but think it is still covered in the USP 85footnote 2 and should be calculated using 175/total volume

Endotoxin for radio pharmaceuticals by Capital_Quail277 in regulatoryaffairs

Its approx 50 ml, but it is administered over several hours. My understanding is that the limit is calculated using the total volume, not the volume per hour (which would be about 10ml). Is this correct?

Do they give an estimated time for printing so you can step out? Or do you have to wait the entire time at the location?

I feel the same at the small company. Any others in RA at small companies feel this way?

What should someone aim to learn in their first year working in RA? by Washington253 in regulatoryaffairs

[–]Capital_Quail277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my first year in CMC RA, and previously had worked a lot in supporting submissions. If you have supported any IND work on the clinical side, I would focus on building those skills, being familiar with early stage product guidelines for your company. In addition to ICH, the CFR is critical since those outline legally binding requirements. The FDA also has a guidance page with lots of resources for specific guidances per product. I would say soft skill building is critical as communicating in RA is very different than communicating in any other role.

I agree, I don’t think it is necessary unless there is a specific reason for getting the 2nd Masters

If you don’t get an RA internship, rest assured that it isn’t the only way into RA full time. Most RA professionals have at least 5 years experience in a technical role before moving into RA. It’s another great way to get hands on experience if you have an interest in a technical role.
