Conference Overview

From Fundamentals to Lifecycle Control in a High-Scrutiny Environment

Join us for the 3rd Annual Cleaning Validation Summit, a two-day virtual event dedicated to the latest regulatory
expectations, best practices and real-world challenges in pharmaceutical cleaning validation. Building on the success
of the 2025 edition, the 2026 summit reflects how the industry has evolved in response to increased regulatory scrutiny,
Annex 1 implementation, digital transformation and more complex product portfolios.

Day 1 reinforces core principles and regulatory alignment, incorporating inspection trends observed in 2025.

Day 2 focuses on advanced lifecycle management, risk-based decision-making, automation and complex case studies,
supporting sustainable, inspection-ready cleaning validation programs.

We Will Talk About

  • Cleaning Validation Lifecycle Approach
  • Analytical & Microbiological Methods for Cleaning Validation
  • Visual Inspection as a Contamination Control Tool
  • Cleaning Validation Documents, including Protocols and Inspection-Readiness
  • Product and Equipment Grouping
  • Regulatory & Inspections Trends Update
  • Cleaning process development and cleaning agent selection
  • Limit setting and visual clean – how does this fit together?
  • Risk-Based Cleaning Validation in Complex Facilities
  • Process Analytical Technology (PAT) in Cleaning Validation
  • Degradation of therapeutic proteins during cleaning: Implications for setting acceptance limits for cleaning validation
  • Extending Visible Residue Limits to Potent Therapeutic Proteins: Replacing TOC Swab Testing with a Scientifically Justified Visual Approach

Speakers:

A review of general cleaning gen¬eral cleaning concepts, chemistry, and detergency. Aqueous detergent cleaning will be reviewed with a detailed focus on automated CIP (Clean-In-Place) cleaning methods, associated pros and cons, and the nature of such detergents. The types of surfactants, and related chemistries being used. The necessary pre and post cleaning steps, vital to any cleaning application are presented as a lifestyle ap¬proach. Their goal being to facilitate cleaning validation programs. This includes needs for focus on set up and procedures before cleaning steps are introduced, during the cleaning process itself, and methods for good prac¬tice in post cleaning—long after the final rinse has been completed. Finally, a recent automated cleaning validation of a dermatological product is presented as a case study and reviewed. The requirements, results and procedure followed. The residue detection methods chosen for both residual product and detergent will be discussed.
