Tablet Process Development and Validation and the Application of QbD

The goal of this workshop is to provide detailed information on the implications of Quality by Design (QbD) for the validation and qualification of tablet manufacturing processes and process development. We will also review the principles of PAT for tablets and capsules and their implications for process control, and introduce important new concepts including the use of risk and process matrices for risk management

By the end of the course, you will understand the relationship between QbD principles and tablet development and process validation, understand the processes commonly used to manufacture tablets and capsules, and the factors which affect them, recognise how to identify critical processing parameters, and how to incorporate into a process validation program and understand the principles of PAT, how and where it can be most effectively deployed

Who should attend

Tablet formulation and process development staff and those involved in managing process development and validation, and commissioning products into production. Regulatory Affairs staff preparing dossiers for tablet products. Quality Assurance personnel responsible for the design or implementation of tablet process validation protocols. Numbers will be limited to give participants the opportunity for thorough discussion of the issues to be covered by the programme and one on one consultation with speakers.

Batch size increase without perfoming a process validation

Details:
HAVE A 100 KG BATCH SIZE OF ONE PRODUCT WITH PROCESS VALIDATION IN ONE PLANT.HOW MUCH BATCH SIZE I CAN INCREASE OR SCALE UP WITHOUT PROCESS VALIDATION IN SAME PLANT ( I HAVE A CAPACITY OF ALL EQUIPMENT IN SAME PLANT FOR INCREASE THE BATCH SIZE . ) CAN U GIVE ANY GUIDLINES FOR THAT.
THANKS


For your question there is no guidlines , But if your equipment have a capacity to increase the batch size then you can increase up to 150 kg but for regulatory purpose you have to do process validation
As per u r question with out process validation on temperory basis u can changate the batch size. but it is permenent basis u must be conduct the process validation.


rambabu
As per u r question with out process validation on temperory basis u can changate the batch size up to 20%. but it is permenent basis u must be conduct the process validation.
Answered By: Rizwan Kazmi PhD |
There is a SUPAC guide line for any change which is not similar to the validated batch with regards to material in the formula, equipment and process

what is the meanning of master validation plan & how we take stepwise proceding

Answered By: George micheal | 2 years ago
Planning is the most important part of computer validation. Having a good plan in place with owners, deliverables and check points makes validation easy. A master plan increases the efficiency and consistency of validation and answers the inspector's question: what is your approach towards computer system validation. A master plan is also a requirement of European GMPs. A validation project plan guides validation professionals through the entire validation process from writing specifications to system retirement. However, despite of this importance, the regulated industry is unsure on how to develop and document such planning.

Regarding Process validation of tablet manufacturing?

Details:
In tablet manufacturing process, during validation can we do the process with out fixing the limit for process control parameters for example dry the granules till LOD or Moisture content achieved and vary the RPM of compression machine? Also can we continue the tablet compression with out waiting for blend report and initially compressed tablet dissolution analytical report can we collect these data like during validation and then fix the parameters after the validation based on validation batch results?

Expecting an expert opinion.

Thanks

Integrated Tablet Formulation Development

and Tablet Process Development and Validation

Course Dates: 28, 29 & 30 April 2009 POSTPONED to October/November

Venue: to be advised

Cost: any 1 day - £600.00, any 2 days £1160.00, 3 days £1584.00

Speaker: Dr Michael Gamlen

This unique 3 day course introduces and integrates the key elements of tablet development based on the principles of Quality by Design (QbD) set out in ICH Q9:

  • Preformulation studies
  • Formulation development
  • Process development and validation

and explains the important links between each of these. Proper integration of these elements is essential to achieve “Quality by Design” because data from each phase of development is used to control the next step in the development process. By achieving proper integration based on sound scientific principles, many development and production problems can be avoided. The course includes case studies of tablet development at the preformulation and formulation development phases as well a detailed, step by step analysis of all elements of the tablet manufacturing process. Key process parameters and their control are identified.

Who will benefit from the course?
The course is designed for people new to tablet and process development, and those requiring a refresher in the area. It will also benefit Process Development experts wishing to extend their understanding of why processes can go wrong, and regulatory and quality personnel who need to understand the development process.
