16: ICH Q9 Revision, Is it enough?

Welcome to Risk Revolution, a monthly series of the Voices in Validation podcast, brought to you by the IVT Network. The goal of this series is to advance the maturity of risk management practices within the industry, by covering topics that challenge quality professionals to seek opportunities to improve and advance how they perceive and manage risk.

In this episode, Stacey is joined by series coordinator Nuala Calnan and regular contributor Valerie Mulholland to discuss the ICH Q9 Revision with Kate Coleman of PharmaLex. The revisions were released for public consultation in November and are an improvement over the existing guidance but do leave a few areas that need to be explored further.
