Meeting #2 - June 18, 2014

Excipients

The USP Excipients Stakeholder Forum has been created to enable an exchange of information and perspectives between USP and users of USP standards, with the ultimate goal of improving USP standards. The Excipients Stakeholder Forum will provide an opportunity for manufacturers, distributors, and users of excipients to discuss topics in an open forum setting. USP hopes the forum will encourage excipients constituencies to work openly and directly with USP as well as collaborate with fellow stakeholders.

Discussion at the Stakeholder Forum will be focused on science and compliance topics specific to pharmaceutical excipients:

  • The USP Excipients Standards-Setting Process
  • Gelatin and Gelatin Capsule Updates
  • Excipient Monograph Modernization
  • FDA Inactive Ingredient Database

Objectives

  • Extending opportunities for participation to a broad range of excipients stakeholders to ensure industry-wide input to USP
  • Educating stakeholders on USP activities while helping USP staff understand excipients issues
  • Providing information on emerging USP initiatives that might affect excipients stakeholders

Who Should Participate

Manufacturers, suppliers, and users of excipients, whether members of a trade organization or independent.
