pharmaceutical supply chain have various global regulatory requirements to meet while handling, storing, and distributing environmentally sensitive products. their focus is to provide cold chain management for temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals to ensure that the quality and efficacy of the product will not be compromised. this article reviews the increased importance of pharmaceutical cold chain management as a result of changing product portfolios, there quirements for good storage and distribution practices, current regulatory trends, quality management, risk assessment factors, and temperature monitoring. trends include: responsibility for cold chain management ultimately resides with the manufacturer increased over sight, management, and control of environmental conditions across the entire supply chainfrom manufacturer to consumer/patient increased importance of temperature control and monitoring to mitigate and identify risks heightened priority of patient safety due to the presence of multiple uncontrolled variables in the distribution process, developing an appropriate temperature and humidity monitoring program is essential to protect the quality of environmental-ly sensitive pharmaceutical product and ensure patient safety. increased importance of the pharmaceutical cold chain of the greater than $400 billion of pharmaceutical products sold worldwide in 2003 approximately 10% or $41 billion were biopharmaceuticals. from 1999 to 2003 the biopharmaceutical market grew at an average annual compound growth rate of 21%-much faster than theroughly 11% for the traditional pharmaceutical market. given that biopharmaceuticals tend to be temperature sensitive, the cold chain has become an increasingly important component of the overall pharmaceutical supply chain the increased investment and management focus on the biopharmaceutical market is due to a number of factors including: a biopharmaceuticals ability to target a significant unmet need, premium pricing relative toother products, and limited generic erosion. while industry forecasts vary, analyst firm asinsights reports an emerging consensus that the bio-pharmaceutical market should reach$100 billion by the end of the decade-implying a conservative average annual growth rate of 14%. current regulatory requirements medicines requiring controlled-temperature storage conditions mustbe distributed in a manner that ensures their quality will not be adversely affected. following is an overview of key regulatory and industry guidance related to cold chain management. content covered includes material from world health organization, international conference on harmonization, food and drug administration, united states pharmacopeia, health canada, and the european union. the world health organizationswho working document qas/04.068 on good distribution practicesgdp is applicable to all per-sons and companies involved in the distribution of pharmaceutical products including the:“ manufacturers of intermediate and/or finished products, brokers, suppliers, distributors, wholesalers, traders, transport companies, forwarding agents, processors, etc.” this who document indicates that the distribution process has generally been “neglected” regarding the:“ establishment, development, maintenance and control over the activities involved.” further, because the distribution segment of the pharmaceutical supply chain involves multiple parties, the risks involved become complex. as stated in thewhoworking documentqas/04.068:“in order to maintain the original quality, every activity in the distribution of pharmaceutical products should be carried out according to the principals of gmp, good storage practicegspand good distribution practicegdp.” thewhoworking document qas/04.068 states:“ where special storage conditions e.g. temperature and relative humidityare required during transit, these should be provided, checked, monitored and recorded.” it goes on to state: “temperature mapping of vehicleswhere applicableshould support uniformity of the temperature across the vehicle. recorded temperature monitoring data should be available for review.” the overall bjective of these guidelines is to:“ ensure the quality and integrity of pharmaceutical products during all aspects of the distribution process.” as stated in the international conference on harmonization document ich q1ar2:“a drug product should be evaluated under storage conditionswith appropriate tolerancesthat test the thermal stability and, if applicable, its sensitivity to moisture or potential for solvent loss. the storage conditions and the lengths of studies chosen should be sufficient to cover storage, shipment, and subsequent use.” furthermore,“ data from the accelerated storage condition and, if appropriate, from the intermediate storage condition may be used to evaluate the effect of short-term temperature excursions outside the label storage conditionssuch as might occur during shipping.” the food and drug administrationfdaguidance on stability for the industry notes that adverse shipping and/or environmental conditions may affect the product quality. deficiencies in good distribution practices with specific focus on temperature control and monitoring during shipment have been cited by the fda. several studies by the united states pharmacopeia usp demonstrated temperature and humidity variations during shipping of drugs and accines. time and temperature recording devices documented values as high as 60c. the united states pharmacopeia standards are cited in good storage and shipping practices. usp describes procedures to maintain proper storage environments for individual articles and ensure the preparations integrity until it reaches the user. risks associated with distribution routes include exposure to temperature excursions, humidity, light and oxygen12.pertinent sections include: storage in warehouses, pharmacies, trucks, shipping docks, and other locations, controlled room temperature, personnel training, qualification of “cold” equipment or stores, distribution and shipment of pharmacopeial articles”, “qualification protocol” , “temperature challenges”, “receipt of pharmaceutical articles”, “distribution or shipping vehicles”, “vehicle qualification”, “pharmaceutical delivery staff”, “shipment from manufacturer to wholesaler”, “shipment from manufacturer or wholesaler to pharmacy”, “shipment from pharmacy to patient or customer”, and “storage of physician samples handled by sales representative in automobiles”. recently, health canada has published guidelines that place greater responsibility on members of the supply chain including manufacturers, distributors, transporters and retailers to ensure that the drug products will reach the customer uncompromised. the key concepts presented in the european union guidance on good distribution practices include:“ the quality system operated by distributorswholesalersof medicinal products should ensure that storage conditions are observed at all times, including during transportation” and “products requiring controlled temperature storage should also be transported by appropriately specialized means.” regulatory trends in recent years, global regulatory agencies have increased oversight to ensure the integrity of pharmaceutical products in the distribution chain. although usp good storage and shipping practices, referenced above, had previously been published as an “in-process revision” it was recently published as a “general chapter” in the usp nf 2 supplement on august 1,2005.this document in conjunction with regulatory guidances to industry, recent presentations by industry thought-leaders, and regulatory enforcement citations, outlines several common trends impacting cold chain management. these trends include: a. responsibility for cold chain management ultimately resides with the manufacturer. b. increased oversight, management, and control of environ-mental conditions across the entire supply chainfrom manufacturer to consumerfor temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products. c. increased importance of temperature control and monitoring to mitigate and identify risks during cold chain transport. d. heightened priority of patient safety. quality management system in order to keep up with the above mentioned global regulatory requirements and trends, a quality management systemqms and risk assessment process become essential. factors to be considered for the qms may include but are not limited to the: organization, roles and responsibilities, process, trained resources, implementation plan, compliance, change control, on-time, delivery of right product, quality metrics, continuous enhancements, and monitoring customer satisfaction. risk assessment process complementing the qms for good distribution practices is an ongoing risk assessment process. areas to be assessed include: compliance with regulations,guidances and quality standards, product profile, physical and chemical stability, environmenttemperature mapping, temperature control, temperature and humidity monitoring, mode of transportationground, air, sea, shipment destinationdomestic, export,packageprimary and secondary, peoplestandard operating procedure, training, communication, documentation, recognizing, addressing, correcting adverse events, and change controls. temperature monitoring system in a recent conference on cold chain management for pharmaceuticals, a speaker from the united kingdoms medicines and healthcare products regulatory agencymhrastated:“ each shipment between countries and within countries of large geographical area should be treated as unique in terms of the range of temperatures the goods may experience.” conclusion global regulatory requirements for the handling, storage, and distribution of thermally labile pharmaceutical products have emphasized the importance of assuring that product quality and integrity are not compromised in the distribution channel. new guidances outline a comprehensive view of cold chain management across the supply chain including: manufacturers, warehousers, distributors, transporters, and retailers. trends of recent regulatory inspection citations demonstrate an increased focus on the factors affecting these labile preparations and ensuring their quality and integrity. due to the presence of multiple uncontrolled variables

医药供应链对每个环节都有不同的要求,在符合全球法规的条件了,处理、储存、运输哪些对环境敏感的医药用品。冷链物流在医药中的运用的重点就是提供对温度敏感的药品,以确保药品的质量和效果不会受到影响。 这篇文章回顾了在制药管理中冷链,由于改变产品组合,商品储藏最小需氧量及投资惯例,现行管理趋势,质量管理,风险评估因素,和温度监控上,其不断增长的重要性。 趋势包括: 1.冷链管理的职责,最终是要由供应商来承担。 2.增加了多视角管理以及涉及整个供应链(从制造商到消费者/病人)中的环境控制。 3.加强温度控制的重要性,并且增加监测,以此来识别风险和减轻风险。 4.把病人的安全放到第一位。 由于在分销过程中存在多个无法控制的不定因素,保证适当的温度和湿度的监测方案必须马上成立,保证对环境敏感的药品质量,更加要保证患者的安全。 日益重要的药品冷链 2003年大概超过400亿美元的药品销往世界各地,其中约有10%也就是41亿美元的药品属于生物药品。从1999年到2003年生物制药市场的平均年复合增长率为21%,远远高于传统医药市场的年复合增长率。传统医药市场的年复合增长率为11%。鉴于生物制药往往对外部环境非常敏感特别是对温度的要求,所以冷链已经成为整个药品供应链中日益重要的组成部分。 以生物制药市场为重点的投资及管理的增长是由于一系列因素,包括:一家生物制药公司把一个显著的却未能被满足的需求为目标的能力,相比较而言的质优价高的产品定价(策略),以及抵制一般的侵蚀的能力。虽然业界预测各不相同,但是分析公司的报告一致认为,一个新兴的生物制药市场将达到了十年来的最高点,就算是一个保守的数据即平均14%的年均增长速度,也就意味着年底达到1000亿美元。 目前冷链医药物流的监督管理要求 需要控制温度的药品的储存环境是必须被分开放置,以确保其质量不会受到影响。以下是重点监管和产业相关冷链指导的概述。其中内容涵盖包括了来自世界卫生组织,国际协调会议,食品和药物管理局,美国药典,健康加拿大和欧盟的材料。 世界卫生组织(who)的好的销售工作规范(gdp)的一个文件?qas/04.068中的管理条例,他适用于所有的人,在涉及医药产品经销公司时,包括:“成品的中间体和成品制造商,经纪商,供应商,经销商,批发商,贸易商,运输各公司,货运代理,加工。”世界卫生组织发布的文件表明,分配过程已普遍被“忽视”其中被忽略的部分包括:“建立,发展,维护和对参与活动的控制。”此外,由于医药供应链分销事业涉及多个当事人,导致冷链医药物流所涉及的风险变得复杂。正如在世界卫生组织在工作文件?qas/04.068中所发布的:“为了维持原有品质,在制药产品投资中的每一项活动,都理应根据药品生产质量管理规范,良好存储管理规范,良好销售总值的规则来执行。”世界卫生组织发布的工作文件?qas/04.068表明:“药物产品应贮存条件下进行评估(
