Qual­i­ty met­rics for phar­ma man­u­fac­tur­ing is back in a big way, with FDA pledg­ing to 'ob­jec­tive­ly rate' firms

Af­ter the FDA sig­naled an in­ter­est last month in re­turn­ing to its hot­ly-con­test­ed qual­i­ty met­rics pro­gram for phar­ma man­u­fac­tur­ers, the agency this week out­lined what it wants to do while pledg­ing a pub­lic work­shop in May and an ad­comm lat­er this year.

While the nit­ty grit­ty on these met­rics may be more than a year from flesh­ing out, a new white pa­per out­lines the FDA’s ten­ta­tive plans, ex­plain­ing how trans­par­ent “Qual­i­ty Man­age­ment Ma­tu­ri­ty” rat­ings could em­pow­er man­u­fac­tur­ers to iden­ti­fy ways to im­prove the ef­fec­tive­ness of their qual­i­ty sys­tems.
