Reliance-Based Waivers Become the Predominant Trend in In-Country Testing of Pharmaceutical Products

This study reviews changes in in-country testing (registration testing, import testing) requirements and analyzes current trends. In the context of international harmonization of good practices and standards as well as the improved information exchange between national regulatory authorities, in-country testing is considered outdated and redundant in many cases.

A Single Adulteration Limit for Cleaning Validation in a Pharmaceutical Pilot-Plant Environment

An adulteration limit of 100 ?g/25cm? (4 ?g/cm?) was proposed for pilot-plant facilities. The dynamic changes in equipment, formulation, and residue determination made implementation of a constantly changing, calculated adulteration limit impractical. A single adulteration limit was simpler to communicate and document, making compliance achievable. The limit would be used only after it was determined to be lower than a health-based evaluation and a visual-cleanliness assessment.

Terminal Sterilization of Sterile Filtered Products

Terminal sterilization of aseptically processed drug products is extremely important for patient safety. As such, it is a regulatory requirement that drug products that can withstand terminal sterilization be terminally sterilized. Overkill type sterilization cycles are not required for a drug manufacturer to make a terminal sterilization claim. Many different time and temperature combinations that are much more product friendly can be used to safely terminally sterilize drug products.
