Regulatory Affairs & Compliance
Compliance to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
The biologics and pharmaceutical industry is challenged by a regulatory environment that is increasingly demanding and stringently enforced. As a result, companies are struggling to achieve and maintain an ongoing state of compliance and consequently, the ability to supply products to the market.
At Brevitas, we have a thorough understanding of compliance to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and recognize the importance it plays in the ongoing success of our client’s businesses.

Case Studies
OSE Preparation
An international client required support to address recent findings from an FDA inspection and prepare for an On-Site Evaluation (OSE) by the Biologics & Genetic Therapies Directorate (BGTD). Brevitas provided GMP advice and coaching which facilitated the successful execution of the OSE, with no observations.
Quality Notification Management
In order to meet the constant demand for their products, our Global Pharmaceutical client retained the services of Brevitas consultants to provide compliance support and address open Quality Notifications by special investigation and effective root cause corrective actions.
SOP Consolidation
Brevitas consultants provided technical and compliance expertise to a leading Canadian pharmaceutical company for the revision and creation of global GMP, GLP and GCP Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Within 5 months, the number of global R&D SOPs was reduced from 100 to 50, to help achieve lean operations.
Criticality Assessment
Our client required an approach to categorize critical utility system components, to allow for the adjustment of maintenance frequencies and verify the accuracy of information within SAP. Brevitas developed a standardized assessment method and successfully applied it to 30 critical utility systems across the site.
Facility Renovation
Brevitas consultants managed and coordinated the design, construction, and commissioning of an engineering capital project for a global pharmaceutical company. Brevitas consultants successfully addressed compliance issues, remediate potential risks, and improve production capacity by applying their expertise in project management and technical assurance.
DMS
The Brevitas team supported the replacement of three legacy systems with a global document management system that significantly improved productivity and reduced operating costs of multiple systems and streamlined business practices.
Inspection Readiness
After a few years of compliance issues, our Global Pharmaceutical client retained the services of the Brevitas team to provide strong leadership and project management support in preparing their staff for a regulatory inspection.
Deviation Management
After dealing with ongoing compliance issues, our global pharmaceutical client retained the services of Brevitas to provide strong leadership and project management support in managing and improving their deviation management quality system.
Audit Trail Review
The Canadian arm of a global vaccines company required an audit trail assessment of their QC laboratory systems to address findings cited during an internal inspection. Brevitas consultants were enlisted to perform audit trail reviews and determine areas of focus for the implementation of a robust audit trail review program.
