3. Data Integrity: Beware or Be aware
It is not new … don’t be panic ….. BUT .. be aware of the requirements…
Treat EVERYDAY as a AUDITABLE DAY…
Know the BASIC regulatory requirements…
Refresh your company policies / systems (SOPs/handling procedures)..
Always consult your superiors / guide your sub-ordinates…
Learn from the Audit findings…
Stay on regulatory updates and warning letters…
Watch with your EARS too ….
ALWAYS follow your company policies……

4. Decades of Regulatory History………
It is not a new requirement… and not only related to some regulated countries…
Above 60% of Warning Letters in 2015 and 2016 involved data integrity lapses
Problem is continuing to till date………….
USFDA:
21 CFR Parts 11, 211, 803: Electronic Records, Signatures - 1997, 2003.
Data integrity key concepts are inherited from 21 CFR 11, 210, 211 and 212.
“Data Integrity and Compliance with cGMP”, draft guidance for industry (April 2016).
EMA: EudraLex Vol 4 Chapter 4 Documetation & Annex 11: Computerized systems: 2011.
GMP guidance (Q&A) to ensure the integrity of data: Aug 2016.
MHRA: MHRA GxP Data Integrity Definitions and Guidance for Industry 2015/2016.
WHO: WHO Technical Report Series 996 Annex 5, Guidance on good data and record
management practices: May 2016.
Health Canada: Letter to Stakeholders -Responsibilities and Obligations with Respect to the
cGMP – Feb 2015.
ICH: Q7: Computerized Systems (5.4) & Q9: Quality Risk Management: 2005.
PIC/S: Good Practices for Data Management and Integrity In Regulated GMP/GDP Environments,
Aug 2016.
India: CDSCO Offers Risk-Based Checklist for Indian Pharma Manufacturing Inspections
The above list is not limited ……….. There are MORE country requirements and guidelines.

6. In 2015: “a new look at an old topic”
In 2003, TGA suspended 219 products of Pan Pharma, Australia and instructed to recall immediately…..due to DI
WORLD BIGGEST PRODUCT RECALL – 219 products recalled, 1650 export products cancelled……

Data integrity issues and importance is increasing….

10. International Regulatory Perspective and Collaboration
International convergence in data integrity guidance
Cooperation between regulators
Exchange of information
Joint inspections
Coordinated market actions
Inspectorates better equipped to
Identify data integrity failures
Manage post-inspection actions and remediation plans
Widespread inspectorate training in DI principles and techniques

11. Common Misconceptions
Why we need to worry?
It is important ONLY in Pharma? 2015: Volkswagen Emission scandal for diesel cars in US
The result: VW’s CEO lost his job; billions were wiped from the company’s shares; and the German economy
faced a bigger threat than the Greek crisis.
My department is perfect… 1000 drugs reviewed/ 700 rejected: May 2014.
Over 700 medicines were recommended for suspension by
the EMA based on DI concerns, over clinical studies
conducted at GVK Biosciences.
Volkswagen GVK Biosciences
Timeline September 18, 2015 May 19, 2014
The issue Installation of a ‘defeat device’ software on cars
to fool emission tests
Falsification of electrocardiograms detected in
each and every one of the 9 trials inspected
The regulator US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) French agency on medicinal products (ANSM)
The impact About 11 million cars About 700 different medicines suspended
The financial
impact
EPA penalties could reach US $ 18 billion India’s export loss estimated US $ 1.2 billion
Severity of
problem
Car engines emitted nitrogen oxide pollutants
up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US
Falsification of ECGs was performed by at least 10
individuals and took place between 2008 and 2013

Where and When, Data Integrity is applicable…….
Applies to Entire Product Lifecycle
16. Risk Reducing Strategies
Internally identified DI issue:
Disclose to regulators, documented evidence of remediation or commit to voluntary
remediation.
Discrepancy found in the batch record / QC document:
Report it with a valid risk assessment and detailed justification – Follow SOPs.
Identify the resources where risk is HIGH :
Risk based approaches /Internal audits /double review need to be utilized.
Follow ALCOA+ (Used by FDA, MHRA and WHO):
A – Attributable: Records and data linked to the individual or system performing the action
L – Legible: Records and data, readable and traceable across the lifecycle
C – Contemporaneous: Records and data reported at the time it has occurred
O– Original: Records and data are the primary source (or true copy)
A – Accurate: Records and data are correct and free from errors/manipulations
+ - WHO added: complete, consistent, enduring and available .
Stay UPDATED:
Always stay updated with recent audit news, warning letters …..
Stay tuned for guidelines and regulation updates …..
Fine tune your SOPs / policies based on your Internal Audit Findings….
Plan Data Integrity Specific Internal Audits…
Beware / Be Ready for Whistle-Blowers ……….
Whistle Blowers:
2016: Ranbaxy: Dinesh Thakur
2014: GVK: Narayan Konduru Reddy
2010: GSK: Cheryl Eckard

Pillars of Data Integrity
All other parties linked with development, manufacturing, distribution and selling are also responsible.

18. Regulatory Challenges
In 2016, 40% ANDAs approval is delayed due to manufacturing issues (received CRL).
2016: Semler’s data integrity concerns made regulators question the equivalency of over 110 generic
drug applications. Concerns were raised by the US FDA, EMA and the WHO.
In 2015, USFDA issued a warning letter to Sipra Labs, a testing laboratory. There are also
instances of lapses on data integrity.
Regulatory department will also play an important role:
Data integrity checks before dossier submission.
Internally identified data integrity issues:
Understand the out come and analyze the impact on dossiers/Product
Propose required regulatory action (product recall? / Notification to agencies?)
Review of Deviations, OOS and validation summaries..
Supporting during regulatory audits with submitted information…..
FDA's Pre Approval Inspection Program 7346.832:
18
Incorrect Handling of OOS Results found in 10 FDA Warning Letters in 2011
20. 20
Cost of Data Integrity Lapses………
FDA-483 Observations
Warning letters
Import alerts
Withheld product approvals
Cancellation of government contracts
Product recalls
Seizure
Consent decree of permanent
injunction
Civil money penalties
Suspension or revocation of licenses
Prosecution (temporary or permanent
debarment, if found guilty)
Damage to company’s reputation
Loss of sales
Loss of jobs
Loss of Share Value
Closing or take-over company
21. Data integrity is about more than compliance with regulations; it’s about
protecting life-saving research and products for human use.
Cost of compliance is cheaper than facing non-compliance issues…
