Welcome to IPAC-RS. We are an international association of innovator and generic companies that develop, manufacture or market orally inhaled and nasal drug products for local and systemic treatment of a variety of debilitating diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes.

IPAC-RS Supplier Quality Control Quality Agreement Template

The IPAC-RS Supplier Quality Working Group has developed this Quality Agreement Template as a toolkit for suppliers and OINDP manufacturers. The template provides guidance on elements of a quality agreement between OINDP manufacturers and their component/ packaging suppliers (N-1 suppliers), and N-1 suppliers and their suppliers. The template links specific elements of the quality agreement with GMP recommendations made in the Working Group's GMP Guideline for Suppliers of Components for OINDP.

Points to Consider for a P2 for an Orally Inhaled or Nasal Drug Product

The Points to Consider was developed by the IPAC-RS Model OINDP Working Group to provide industry perspectives and best thinking on the reporting of development data in the P2 (Pharmaceutical Development) section of the Common Technical Document. The document follows the guidance provided in ICH Q8 but provides further insight on issues of significance for OINDP such as container closure systems/device and particle size.

The Points to Consider is a "living document," and IPAC-RS welcomes comments on the paper and feedback from its pplication.
