The Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) held the PARENTERALS 2010 conference in Berlin on 26 – 28 October 2010. There had been approximately 250 delegates from 20 countries representing over 95 companies and 9 regulatory bodies. The conference centred around the following topics:
• future of parenterals
• component quality
• manufacturing flexibility
• innovative plants
• manufacturing control
• application systems
• regulatory trends
The programme gave an overview on existing issues and potential solutions as well as future trends. As the participants expressed vivid interest in the topic, PDA has offered to organise a second edition in two years time. It is impossible to give a detailed insight into all that was presented, however, picking some of the highlights might convey the spirit and value of the event.
