PAREXEL's Siegfried Schmitt is looking for chapter authors for a book titled, "Quality by Design: From Theory to Praxis," to be published by PDA. You may contact Siegfried via his LinkedIn posting, or directly at siegfried.schmitt@parexel.com.
The following are some parameters that Schmitt has shared with us:
• Authors may write part or a whole chapter (or several)
• Authors should outline either in bullet points or in prose what they want to cover (structure and contents of their contribution) by mid-February 2010
• Schmitt will provide feedback and suggestions
• Drafts should be completed by June 2010
• Revisions are expected by the end of August 2010
Authors may include text from existing publications, Schmitt says, provided they have been adapted for this publication. References should be listed in a separate table.

EFPIA Ready to Roll Out Its QbD "Concept Cars"
In anticipation of its QbD workshop in Frankfurt on Sept. 22-23, PDA has released a special report on the impending EFPIA "Mock QbD" examples that will be summarized and discussed at the meeting. In the report, Wyeth's Graham Cook, Merck's Robert Schnepf, and Abbott's Brian Withers discuss the thinking behind, and importance of, the EFPIA examples, which will focus on terminally sterilized injectables, lyophilized injectables, small molecule API's, and monoclonal antibody API's.
Cook explains: You could compare the Mock documents to a concept car that you might see at a motor show. It has the look and feel of the future model, but not necessarily all technological parts are fully developed or built in to enable it to operate at full performance. Creating scientifically credible stories for the development of the hypothetical drug substances described in the Mock documents is not easy and so, in many cases, the team members would base the sections they were writing on real examples from within their companies and change them to fit the story we were trying to tell. When the groups had to decide what process steps or unit operations should be discussed, the principal selection criteria was to show examples that could be used to illustrate ideas and the use of tools, and perhaps provide a model for others.
Thanks to Parexel's Siegfried Schmitt for calling our attention to this on the Quality-by-Design LinkedIn group.
