Zielsetzung
Medical cannabis has been permitted for prescription in Germany since 2017, causing a need for producers supplying pharmacists and physicians with the newly "legalized" drug. But what qualifies as medical grade cannabis? This conference will give you an overview of all relevant regulatory and GMP/GDP requirements and aspects of medical cannabis.
Hintergrund
In March 2017, the national German legislature expanded the options for prescribing medical cannabis products by passing a law amending provisions under the Narcotics Law and other regulations. These products, however, must comply with the relevant requirements laid down under Medicinal and Narcotics Law, including GMP and GDP. Therefore, the BfArM (the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices) has taken over new responsibilities by establishing the Cannabis Agency. This agency is meant to help in ensuring supplies for medical-quality cannabis.
Unlike AGES in Austria, though, where cultivation of medical cannabis has already been established, cannabis will not be cultivated by BfArM itself, but by commissioned companies. Cannabis is not meant to be stored directly at BfArM during any stage of the purchasing, harvesting or distribution process. These steps will be carried out by relevant producers or other commissioned companies (i.e. suppliers, importers). Hence, the agency will manage and monitor the cultivation, harvest, processing, quality assurance, storage, packaging and distribution of cannabis to wholesalers, chemists or manufacturers.
The GMP inspectorates are responsible for issuing manufacturing and import licenses or GMP Certificates. Thus, they will perform inspections at the sites of manufacturers who apply for these certificates and licenses.
In summary:
The Cannabis Agency is responsible for ensuring that only medical grade cannabis is supplied,
The relevant requirements based on the underlying legal framework (including Pharmacopoeias) and the corresponding GMP, GDP and GACP guidelines must be complied with, and finally
Cannabis for medical purposes is also subject to the provisions of the German Narcotics Law.
Zielgruppe
This conference addresses specific GMP aspects to consider for Growers, Manufacturers, Start-Ups, Suppliers, Importers, QPs and QA personnel involved in Cannabis production. The topics provided are also of interest for GMP/GDP Inspectors responsible for issuing a GMP- certificate or manufacturers- / import license.
