Description
This course will provide a basic understanding of the FDA Scale-up
and Post Approval Changes Guidelines & the 2004 FDA guideline
on changes to approved NDA or ANDA. This also addresses the
impact of withdrawal of the FDA BACPAC I guideline on changes
in API synthesis and European variation guidelines. The issues
affecting batch size scale-up/scale-down, various post approval
formulation component or composition changes, site of
manufacturing changes, manufacturing process changes, and/or
equipment changes will be addressed along with the issues
affecting analytical methodology, packaging and labeling changes.
The course will focus on:
- The criteria that determines the level or degree of change.
- The type of study data or information that must be generated
to support changes at each level.
- The FDA & European recommended chemistry manufacturing
& control tests to support each level or degree of change.
- The type of in-vivo or in-vitro testing required to support the
various levels of degrees of change.
Case examples will be employed to allow the students to
determine the type of data that are required to support the level
of changes proposed.
