Determining Protein Oxidation Induced During Fill-Finish Operations
The effect of absorbed vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide on a lyophilized product Protein Z, was studied by spiking experiments with different amounts of hydrogen peroxide.
Residual hydrogen peroxide (HP) from the vapor-phase HP (VPHP) isolator decontamination process can diffuse into drug product, potentially resulting in significant protein oxidation and thus impacting product quality. The effect of absorbed VPHP on a lyophilized product Protein Z, was studied by spiking experiments with different amounts of hydrogen peroxide and the stability of the lyophilized product was studied for up to six months.

Full Tolerance Coverage Method for Assessing Uniformity of Dosage Units with Large Sample Sizes
March 10th 2025The ‘full tolerance coverage method’ is introduced as a coverage estimation approach for assessing the uniformity of dosage units from large sample sizes, ensuring that no dosage unit exceeds the specification range.
