The International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) has worked on har- nizing the stability regulations in the US, Europe, and Japan since the early 1990s. Even though the Stability Guidelines Q1A (R2) was issued over a decade ago, issues surrounding this arena continue to surface as the principles described in the guideline are applied to different technical concentrations. As a result, the stability community has continued to discuss concerns and find ways of harmonizing regulatory requirements, streamlining practices, improving processes in order to bring safe and effective medical supplies to the patients around the world. In 2007, the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Stability Focus Group organized two workshops – the Stability Workshop and the Degradation Mechanism Workshop. These meetings attracted many industry scientists as well as representatives from several regulatory agencies in the world to discuss important topics related to pharmaceutical stability practices. Recognizing the importance of documenting these discussions and with the permission of AAPS, I have worked with speakers to assemble a collection of 30 articles from presentations given at these two meetings, mainly the Stability Workshop. I trust that this book will be beneficial to all of you in providing guidance and up-to-date information for building quality stability programs. v Freedom of our mind is Mother of all inventions.

This book comprehensively reviews drug stability and chemical kinetics: how external factors can influence the stability of drugs, and the reaction rates that trigger these effects. Explaining the important theoretical concepts of drug stability and chemical kinetics, and providing numerous examples in the form of illustrations, tables and calculations, the book helps readers gain a better understanding of the rates of reactions, order of reactions, types of degradation and how to prevent it, as well as types of stability studies. It also offers insights into the importance of the rate at which the drug is degraded and/or decomposed under various external and internal conditions, including temperature, pH, humidity and light. This book is intended for researchers, PhD students and scientists working in the field of pharmacy, pharmacology, pharmaceutical chemistry, medicinal chemistry and biopharmaceutics.

Specification of Drug Substances and Drug Products is a fully comprehensive reference on Specification Setting for Pharmaceuticals. There have been several recent developments in the ICH Guidelines, which were not captured in previous editions, notably the new guideline on Development of Analytical Procedure and the revisions to the validation guidelines, and the specification guidelines. This edition contains chapters discussing the unique requirements for the universal critical quality attributes, as well as the specific tests required to characterize and control different types of products, ranging in complexity from small molecules in immediate release oral dosage forms to complex products such as drug-antibody conjugates and mRNA-based products. This substantially expanded revision of the 2nd edition will serve as practical comprehensive reference for scientists, managers, educators, and consultants involved in the development and regulation of pharmaceutical products - Presents critical assessment, potential impact, and application of the recent revisions to ICH guidelines on method validation (Q2) (as well as the latest guideline on Analytical Method Development (Q14), and the special regional requirements in non-ICH regions. - Addresses comprehensive treatment of the development and validation of analytical methodologies used in the analysis, control, and specification of a variety of different types of dosage forms, ranging from traditional oral solid dosage forms to proteins, nRNA-based drugs, vaccines, and gene therapy. This book will also address drug–device combination products such as digital drug delivery systems, transdermal systems, and inhalation products. - Presents detailed treatment of latest statistical approaches, including new approaches to the treatment of validation data method, specification setting, and shelf-life prediction (based on stability data).

Develop an understanding of FDA and global regulatory agency requirements for Laboratory Control System (LCS) operations In Laboratory Control System Operations in a GMP Environment, readers are given the guidance they need to implement a CGMP compliant Laboratory Control System (LCS) that fits within Global Regulatory guidelines. Using the Quality Systems Approach, regulatory agencies like the FDA and the European Medicine Agency have developed a scheme of systems for auditing pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities which includes evaluating the LCS. In this guide, readers learn the fundamental rules for operating a CGMP compliant Laboratory Control System. Designed to help leaders meet regulatory standards and operate more efficiently, the text includes chapters that cover Laboratory Equipment Qualification and Calibration, Laboratory Facilities, Method Validation and Method Transfer, Laboratory Computer Systems, Laboratory Investigations as well as Data Governance and Data Integrity. The text also includes chapters related to Laboratory Managerial and Administrative Systems, Laboratory Documentation Practices and Standard Operating Procedures and General Laboratory Compliance Practices. Additionally, a chapter outlining Stability Program operations is included in the text. In addition to these topics, it includes LCS information and tools such as: ● End of chapter templates, checklists, and LCS guidance to help you follow the required standards ● Electronic versions of each tool so users can use them outside of the text ● An In-depth understanding of what is required by the FDA and other globally significant regulatory authorities for GMP compliant systems For quality assurance professionals working within the pharmaceutical or biopharma industries, this text provides the insight and tools necessary to implement government-defined regulations.

Methodologies for Biosimilar Product Development covers the practical and challenging issues that are commonly encountered during the development, review, and approval of a proposed biosimilar product. These practical and challenging issues include, but are not limited to the mix-up use of interval hypotheses testing (i.e., the use of TOST) and confidence interval approach, a risk/benefit assessment for non-inferiority/similarity margin, PK/PD bridging studies with multiple references, the detection of possible reference product change over time, design and analysis of biosimilar switching studies, the assessment of sensitivity index for assessment of extrapolation across indications without collecting data from those indications not under study, and the feasibility and validation of non-medical switch post-approval. Key Features: Reviews withdrawn draft guidance on analytical similarity assessment. Evaluates various methods for analytical similarity evaluation based on FDA’s current guidelines. Provides a general approach for the use of n-of-1 trial design for assessment of interchangeability. Discusses the feasibility and validity of the non-medical switch studies. Provides innovative thinking for detection of possible reference product change over time. This book embraces innovative thinking of design and analysis for biosimilar studies, which are required for review and approval of biosimilar regulatory submissions.
