Quality & Compliance

Our industry-experienced experts have implemented dozens of quality systems within the biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, medical device,and combination product industries. We assist with organizational activities, plans, policies, procedures, and processes and provide the resources to design, implement, and maintain a quality system that delivers quality, compliant drug products.

We develop and implement quality systems in accordance with:

  • FDA Phase 1 GMPs
  • Current Good Manufacturing Practices  (21 CFR 210 and 211, 600, 601, 610, 820 and 1271)
  • Combination Products GMPs (21 CFR 4)
  • Pharmaceutical Development (ICH Q8)
  • Risk Management (ICH Q9)
  • Quality Systems (ICH Q10)
  • Good Manufacturing Practices for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (ICH Q7A)
  • EU Good Manufacturing Practices (Eudralex Volume 4) and EU Annex 1.
  • Australia’s PIC/S Guide to Good Manufacturing Practices

Are you familiar with ICMC™: Initiative for Certification of Manufacturing Capabilities, delivered by DHC? ICMC is designed to close a critical gap in the CGT CDMO market by providing a level of transparency and trust that was otherwise lacking. ICMC also allows CDMOs to build credibility and differentiation in the marketplace while offering therapeutic developers a way to more robustly evaluate CDMO partners.

Establishing quality management systems excellence

Our team designs and implements quality system procedures and instructions in line with client objectives and the requirements of the leading regulatory bodies. Elements of our quality management system programs include the establishment and/or management of:

  • Document control system
  • Electronic document management system
  • Deviations and CAPA SOPs
  • External audit SOP
  • Performance of GMP and GLP audits
  • Establish phase-appropriate training SOP and program
  • Vendor qualification, audits, and materials management programs
  • Change control
  • Quality risk management (e.g., microbial control, quality risk assessment, etc.)
  • Implementation of phase-appropriate quality systems from scratch
  • Support for and implementation of electronic quality management systems
Foundational QMS framework (US-based)

Our foundational QMS framework enables smaller US-based start-up companies currently using an outsourced supply chain model (e.g. CDMOs and CTOs) to establish a phase-appropriate Pharmaceutical Quality System that utilizes recognized cloud-based electronic document and learning management systems (integrated EDMS-LMS) to enable release of Phase 1 GMP clinical trial material. This offering is a QMS framework of core documents and procedures which can be deployed within a quality-controlled space in a phase-appropriate, cost-efficient, user-friendly, scalable, and customizable manner, according to individual customer’s needs. This enables sponsors to initiate vendor qualification of GLP CROs, review and approve Quality Agreements, and conduct audits of CDMOs either by their own internal resources or a contracted QA resource provided by BTL.

Future plans include development of GLP and GCP SOPs, and a comparable framework designed to support early phase EU-based manufacturing.

Quality System remeditation

Quality system remediation to address client concerns or regulatory findings can include gap assessment and reporting in addition to quality remediation plans and execution. This remediation can apply to any or all of the FDA Quality Systems approach: quality, production, facilities and equipment, laboratory controls, materials, and packaging and labeling.

Internal & external audits

Whether preparing for and supporting an external GMP audit by a global regulator [pre-approval inspection (PAI), pre-licensing inspection (PLI)] or planning and executing an internal audit, our team offers comprehensive capabilities in support of agency audits. We also plan and execute audits of 3rd parties (e.g., suppliers and contract testing/manufacturing sites) on behalf of client sponsors.

Inspection readiness


To ensure successful inspections, we conduct a risk evaluation well in advance of your inspection window. This assessment may identify high-risk areas in your supply chain, informing an inspection readiness plan and effective resource allocation. Inspection readiness also runs to gap assessment against the FDA System Approach, European and other international regulations, or more specialty regulations, like Annex 1 for sterile drug production manufacturing, data integrity compliance, or good laboratory practices.

As with our audit offerings, we also plan and execute these for 3rd parties upon request.
