In 2019 USP created an Expert Panel (New Advancements in Product Performance Testing) to do a gap analysis on the need for and possible creation of tests/standards for measuring the performance of drug products. The results of Working Groups within the Expert Panel have been presented in a series of articles. The purpose of this webinar is to present to stake holders and interested members of the pharmacy community, the microneedles findings of the Working Group as well as listen to views from the microneedle community on a proposal to create a USP informational chapter for Microneedle Array Patches focused on in-vitro quality performance testing.
