There's little doubt that the FDA's inspections schedule has been dramatically affected by the surge in Delta variant COVID-19 cases. But the FDA is on track to resume onsite inspections and continue alternative inspection methods when and where possible.

In May, the FDA released what it called a "resiliency roadmap" for a more normal schedule of inspections based on three pandemic scenarios ? best-case immediate, best-case gradual and a worst-case.

In the best-case immediate scenario, the FDA projected that it would conduct half ? 1,613 ? of the remaining 3,229 planned domestic drug inspections for the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30. With a best-case gradual transition to normal operations, the FDA predicted it could conduct slightly more than a quarter ? 851 ? of the remaining planned domestic drug inspections for the fiscal year. The agency didn't make projections for the worst-case scenario in which it assumed a COVID-19 surge ? which has come to pass with the Delta variant, resulting in only 295 domestic and 44 foreign pharmaceutical inspections completed through Sept. 14.

Are good manufacturing process inspections forever altered by the global pandemic? Are virtual inspections here to stay? Will they return to in-person or become a combination of virtual and in-person? The challenges regulators are confronting now will inform inspection models and schedules going forward ? prepare now or risk Form 483s or warning letters.

At the 16th Annual FDA Inspections vSummit, attendees will gain insights and tips to help plan for inspections now and into 2022. With the expertise of seasoned professionals, this virtual summit will tackle complex inspection issues head-on ? providing details that will ease the stress of determining your next steps.

The summit will cover everything one needs to know to move through an inspection.

On the first day keynote speaker, Elizabeth Miller, Pharm.D. ? Assistant Commissioner Medical Products & Tobacco Operation Office of Regulatory Affairs, FDA ? will discuss the FDA's perspectives on inspections and what one can expect now and in 2022.
