Purpose of Presentation
To demonstrate that product development assures that the final product is of appropriate quality
The high quality thus built into the final product is ensured through in-process controls and verified in a series of confirmatory tests before each manufactured batch is released to the market

Commercial Manufacturing
Stability
Batches produced by the defined manufacturing process are studied at different storage conditions to verify consistent quality and performance of the product throughout shelf-life * QC generally means product testing, and QA an independent review 9

What is Validation?
Documented evidence that the manufacturing process consistently produces product that meets predetermined specifications
Defines product quality Developed and validated based on a thorough understanding of the critical process parameters Parameters are carefully controlled within the validated ranges to ensure a consistent manufacturing process.
Manufacturing process validation consists of successfully manufacturing at least three full-scale batches in succession, which pass all in-process and product quality attributes

The extent of IQ, OQ, PQ, validation, etc. depends on complexity of product 6 sigma target

Role of QC Tests
Each batch of orally inhaled and nasal drug products (OINDP), manufactured by the validated process, is tested to the critical QC attributes as defined during development
Confirms consistent performance
The Delivered Dose Uniformity test for OINDP is one of several confirmatory QC tests of the finished product
a result of a long and careful development and characterization process QC tests confirm the quality built-in through a wellunderstood and well-controlled manufacturing process

Pre-Approval Inspection
Confirms Facility is Ready
Sponsor can do what they submit in the NDA Process is validated or validation protocols are in place
Validation required prior to launch
Thorough documentation review Quality systems are established and capable Confirms specifications are met
Compliance versus Review Division
Specifications may change based on NDA review Tighter than process capability

Conclusions
Pharmaceutical quality is built-in through the entire drug development process
validation is key element of ensuring quality in-process controls assure quality during manufacturing Specifications established based on thorough understanding of process
