Unpacking The FDA Draft Guidance On Container Closure Systems
In this article, Fran DeGrazio reflects on the significance of the FDA Draft Guidance on Container Closure Systems, the first update since 1999. DeGrazio places the CCS draft guidance in the current context of science-based and risk-based product development for combination products and other injectable drug product delivery systems. She also addresses the integration of CCS guidance into the development organization’s QMS (Quality Management System).
