Overview
This project will develop a universal realm implementation guide (IG) and profiles for the exchange of Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) data internationally within biopharmaceutical companies, and between a company and its stakeholders.
The IG is primarily meant for developers of structured content authoring solutions, medicinal product manufacturers who produce CMC data, and those involved in pharmacovigilance analysis.
Background
- Biopharmaceutical industry internal/external CMC data exchange accounts for over 70% of all internal and external data exchanges, internationally, within a company and between a company and its stakeholders.
- Need for standardization:
- Despite much of the content being sourced from internal systems that support structured data (e.g., pharmaceutical development systems, manufacturing site systems), and much of it being available for reuse across many medicinal products, CMC content is currently authored and managed by industry in unstructured Word or PDF. This is not sustainable given the increasing volume and frequency of data exchanges. Not only are the authoring and updating processes unsustainable, but they are highly manual and error-prone having the potential to impact global drug supply.
- CMC content can be reused throughout the medicinal product lifecycle. For example, accurate identification when tracking product complaints, tracing adverse events (AEs) back to the site of manufacture, and reusing the medicinal products composition in labelling.
- There is great value in ensuring industry’s CMC data exchange is transitioned to FHIR as other key areas of the medicinal product lifecycle are transitioning to FHIR and are already in the HL7 working group portfolio.
Scope
This project is being developed for FHIR R5. It will align with the PQ/CMC FHIR Implementation Guide (https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/FHIR-us-pq-cmc/) where possible.
