Quality-by-design

As compounds get more complex, so do the variables in development and manufacturing. API derived from biologic processes can be sensitive to aggregation, degradation, or subject to loss activity at any stage along the way. And given the expensive nature of biologic API, a significant quality issue that arises during manufacturing is not something any company wants to face.

Rethinking the concept of quality

Quality by Design (QbD) is a concept that’s important in today’s pharmaceutical industry. QbD is a holistic, proactive, science- and risk-based approach to the development and manufacturing of drugs. The goal is to design a process in which the critical steps that affect quality are identified and their influence measured and defined within an agreed “design space.”

So why is QbD emerging as such an important concept? Because it’s an approach with several potential advantages to every industry stakeholder:

  • For drug companies, it enables consistent, robust production of quality products. QbD can help reduce batch failures and stock-outs, as well as enhance ROI by avoiding costly quality issues
  • For patients, it enhances consistency and quality, and it reduces the risk of recalls. In the case of generic drugs, it helps guarantee therapeutic equivalency to the reference drug
  • For regulators, it offers the potential for greater confidence in drug quality and may reduce the need for intensive oversight. It also may help reduce approval times and get more needed drugs to market faster

Over the past several years, both the EMA and FDA have issued guidance on the use of a QbD approach. A pilot program was launched, allowing drug companies to submit information for an NDA demonstrating the use of QbD principles. In 2006, Januvia, manufactured by Merck, became the first drug approved using QbD in the application process.

So how does Quality by Design work?

At the heart of the QbD concept is the idea that quality is built into a product based on an in-depth understanding of the product and process by which it is developed and manufactured. Knowledge of the risks involved—and how to mitigate them—is also a critical part.

To achieve that, several detailed steps make up QbD approach:

Basically, the process begins with a Target Product Profile (TPP) that describes the intended use, safety, and efficacy parameters of the product. This along with a target product quality profile is used by formulators and process engineers during product development. Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), such as sterility or dose accuracy requirements, are then identified based on prior product knowledge or experience with similar compounds. CQAs are those things that must be controlled to achieve the TPP. A manufacturing process is designed to produce a final product having these CQAs.

A control strategy for the entire process is established, accounting for variability in material and process as well as expected changes in scale, etc. Using such a strategy and various In-Process-Control (IPC) and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools, the process is monitored and quality assessed in real time.

Name Explanation
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) An active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is a substance used in a finished pharmaceutical product, intended to furnish pharmacological activity or to otherwise have direct effect in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, or to have direct effect in restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions in human beings.

 

Annual Product Reviews (APR) The Annual Product Reviews (APR) include all data necessary for evaluation of the quality standards of each drug product to determine the need for changes in drug product specifications or manufacturing or control procedures. The APR is required by the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.
ANVISA The Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (in Portuguese, Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) is a governmental regulatory body in Brazil. Similar to the FDA in the United States, it oversees the approval of drugs and other health products and regulates cosmetics, food products, and other health-related industries.
Biologic License Application (BLA) The Biologics License Application (BLA) is a request for permission to introduce, or deliver for introduction, a biologic product into commerce in the U.S.
CFDA The China Food and Drug Administration is similar to the FDA in the United States and is responsible for regulating food and drug safety.
cGMP Current Good Manufacturing Practices govern the design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing facilities and processes and are enforced by the US FDA. Compliance with these regulations helps safeguard a drug’s identity, strength, quality, and purity.
COFEPRIS The Federal Commission for Protection against Sanitary Risks (in Spanish, Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios) is a government agency in Mexico. It regulates food safety, drugs, medical devices, organ transplants, and environmental protection.
Common Technical Document (CTD) The Common Technical Document (CTD) is the mandatory common format for new drug applications in the EU and Japan, and the U.S. The CTD assembles all the Quality, Safety and Efficacy information necessary for a drug application.
European Medicines Agency (EMA) The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a decentralised agency of the European Union (EU), located in London. It began operating in 1995. The Agency is responsible for the scientific evaluation, supervision and safety monitoring of medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the EU.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The FDA is responsible for the approval of new pharmaceutical products for sale in the U.S. and performs audits at the companies participating in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals to ensure that they comply with regulations.
Human growth hormone A growth hormone (GH or HGH) is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth in children and adolescents. It is involved in several body processes, including cell reproduction and regeneration, regulation of body fluids, and metabolism. It can be produced by the body (ie, somatotropin) or genetically engineered (ie, somatropin).
In-Process Control (IPC) In-Process Controls (IPC) are checks performed during production in order to monitor and if necessary to adjust the process to ensure that the product conforms its specification.
Interferons (INFs) Interferons are proteins produced by the body as part of the immune response. They are classified as cytokines, proteins that signal other cells to trigger action. For example, a cell infected by a virus will release interferons to stimulate the defenses of nearby cells.
Interleukins Interleukins are proteins produced by cells as an inflammatory response. Most interleukins help leukocytes communicate with and direct the division and differentiation of other cells.
Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) The Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) is the basis for approval of clinical trials by the competent authorities in the EU. The IMPD includes summaries of information related to the quality, manufacture and control of the Investigational Medicinal Product, data from non-clinical studies and from its clinical use.
Investigational New Drug (IND) An Investigational New Drug application is provided to the FDA to obtain permission to test a new drug in humans in Phase I – III clinical studies. The IND is reviewed by the FDA to ensure that study participants will not be placed at unreasonable risk.
Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) The Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) is a common document used as the basis for a marketing application across all European markets, plus Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Israel. This application is based on a full review of all quality, safety, and efficacy data, including clinical study reports.
Master batch records These general manufacturing instructions, which are required by cGMP, are the bases for a precise, detailed description of a pharmaceutical manufacturing process. They ensure that all proper ingredients are included, each process step is completed, and the process is controlled.
