A joint reflection paper released by the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities, of which FDA is a member, with the International Council for Harmonization, International Pharmaceutical Regulators Program, and Pharmaceutical Inspection Cooperation Scheme, outlines the groups’ multi-stakeholder approach to the harmonization work required to support the development of a regulatory pharmaceutical quality knowledge management system (PQ KMS). The [paper](https://icmra.info/drupal/strategicinitatives/pqkms/joint%5Freflection%5Fpaper?ref=fdaweb.com) says the envisaged PQ KMS “aims at strengthening international collaboration to support global development, manufacture, and supply of pharmaceutical and biological/biotechnological medicinal products. Together, this will facilitate manufacturing agility, addition of new manufacturing sites, and strengthen the resilience of global supply chains.”
