This 21 CFR Part 4 (Subpart A) – cGMP for Combination Products Online Training Course will discuss the FDA final guidance covering good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements for combination products. The final guidance covers the purpose and content of the cGMP requirements included in the final ruling.
The final rule is known as 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 4. Before issuance of the final rule, there were no regulations to clarify and explain the application of these cGMP requirements to combination products. The final rule did not establish any new requirements. It was intended to clarify which cGMP requirements apply when drugs, devices, and biological products are combined to create combination products, and to set forth a transparent and streamlined regulatory framework for firms to use when demonstrating compliance with applicable cGMP requirements.
