The concepts, applications, and practical issues of Quality by Design
Quality by Design (QbD) is a new framework currently being implemented by the FDA, as well as EU and Japanese regulatory agencies, to ensure better understanding of the process so as to yield a consistent and high-quality pharmaceutical product. QbD breaks from past approaches in assuming that drug quality cannot be tested into products; rather, it must be built into every step of the product creation process.
Quality by Design: Perspectives and Case Studies presents the first systematic approach to QbD in the biotech industry. A comprehensive resource, it combines an in-depth explanation of basic concepts with real-life case studies that illustrate the practical aspects of QbD implementation.
In this single source, leading authorities from the biotechnology industry and the FDA discuss such topics as:
* The understanding and development of the product's critical quality attributes (CQA)
* Development of the design space for a manufacturing process
* How to employ QbD to design a formulation process
* Raw material analysis and control strategy for QbD
* Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and how it relates to QbD
* Relevant PAT tools and applications for the pharmaceutical industry
* The uses of risk assessment and management in QbD
* Filing QbD information in regulatory documents
* The application of multivariate data analysis (MVDA) to QbD
Filled with vivid case studies that illustrate QbD at work in companies today, Quality by Design is a core reference for scientists in the biopharmaceutical industry, regulatory agencies, and students.
This is the first book that explains the underlying concepts of Quality by Design (QbD) and the practical aspects of implementing QbD in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. A systematic approach leads the reader through a process, outlining the understanding of the critical quality attributes of the molecule, the development of the design space to meet the quality attributes, filing of the QbD information in regulatory documents, risk management, and the application of QbD. Complete with real-world case studies, this is a core reference for scientists in the biopharmaceutical industry, regulatory agencies, and students.
