How to control

  • Control Strategy (ICH Q10) :

– A planned set of controls, derived from current product and process understanding, that assures process performance and product quality. – The controls can include parameters and attributes related to drug substance and drug product materials and components, facility and equipment operating conditions, in-process controls, finished product specifications, and the associated methods and frequency of monitoring and control.

How to control

  • Quality Attributes

– Directly controlled at relevant step(s) – Indirectly controlled at relevant step(s) – e.g. surogate QA… – Parametric control(s) at relevant step(s) – e.g. causality and/or correlation between PP(s) and QA(s), design space… – Process robustness – e.g. demonstration of high clearance capability…

  • Process parameters

– Directly controlled – Indirectly controlled – e.g. correlated to other parameter(s)… – Procedural – e.g. sequence of operation…

  • “Limits”:

– Acceptance criteria – Internal action limits

How to control

  • Frequency of monitoring and control.

– Routine

  • Performed for each run

– Periodic

  • Performed at defined frequency and/or

conditions (e.g.: skip testing, revalidation, continuous process verification…)

– Occasional

  • Performed in specific situations (e.g.

evaluation/validation, characterisation, comparability, investigation…)

How to control

  • Alternative to routine end-product testing

– Full testing according to the specifications may be required during a running in period – Real Time Release

  • Ability to evaluate and ensure the quality of in-process

and/or final product based on process data, which typically include a valid combination of measured material attributes and process controls

  • RTR testing applicable to Drug Product, Drug Substance,

and Intermediates

Where to control

  • Routine testing approach and/or a validation approach:

– Routine testing approach: monitoring of the quality attribute at appropriate step(s) of the process, in order to ensure acceptable levels in the final product. – Validation approach: based on evidence of successful validation of the manufacturing process (e.g. establishing consistent and satisfactory impurity clearance); in such situation, process monitoring may be carried out without direct measurements of the quality attribute. – Combination of routine testing and validation approaches (e.g. routine testing at an earlier step of the purification process and demonstrated reduction by validation in order to ensure a limit at the final product level, if tested).

What to Put in the File

  • Marketing Authorisation Application

– Justification of control strategy:

  • Justification of drug specification (S.4.5 and P.5.6)
  • Specifications release and shelf life (S.4.1 and P.5.1); should comply with them if

tested

– Process description (scale, column characteristics…) and control (CPP, non-CPP, acceptance criteria, action limits…):

  • Description of manufacturing process and process controls (S.2.2 and P.3.3),
  • controls of critical steps and intermediates (S.2.4 and P.3.4),

– Description of control of materials

  • Control of materials (3.2.S.2.3),
  • Control of excipients (P.4),

– Process evaluation/validation

  • Results of in-process tests (S.2.5 and P.3.5) and batch analyses (S.4.4 and P.5.4)
  • n an appropriate number of consecutive batches produced with commercial

process and scale

  • Evaluation of relevant process steps and/or intermediates (hold time, clearance…)

– Evolution of the control strategy

  • Description in manufacturing process development (S.2.6).

What to Put in the File

  • Marketing Authorisation Application with enhanced

product/process evaluation

– Justification of control strategy

  • Comprehensive mapping of tests and acceptance criteria/action limits
  • Justification of how and where tests are performed

– Process evaluation/validation

  • Detailed information on studies (DOE, analysis, outcome…)

– Depending on study design, objective and outcome, could justify:

  • Alternative to end product testing (RTR testing…)
  • Leverage data requirement for process validation (protocol for

continuous process verification…)

criteria…)
