A Case Study in Application of the Risk Knowledge Infinity Cycle.

The Risk Knowledge Infinity (RKI) Cycle Framework was featured as part of the ICH-sanctioned training materials supporting the recent issuance of ICH Q9(R1) To support ICH Q9(R1) understanding and adoption, this paper presents a case study on the application of the RKI Cycle, based on an underlying out-of-specification investigation. This case study provides a stepwise walk-through of the cycle to illustrate how key concepts within the ICH Q9(R1) revision can be achieved through better connecting quality risk management and knowledge management with a framework such as the RKI Cycle.
