  2. 0:03lecture, we will discuss the difference
  3. 0:06between
  4. 0:07critical material attributes, critical
  5. 0:09process parameters, and how are they
  6. 0:12correlated to critical quality
  7. 0:14attributes.
  8. 0:16An effort has been made to simplify it

  13. 0:26Let's take a look at the factors that
  14. 0:28affect drug product critical quality
  15. 0:30attributes. There are two factors that
  16. 0:32affect.
  17. 0:33One is properties of input material, and
  18. 0:36the second one is manufacturing process
  19. 0:39parameters.
  20. 0:40When we say properties of input
  21. 0:42material, over here input materials,
  22. 0:45they consist of raw materials, starting
  23. 0:48material,
  24. 0:49APIs, packaging and labeling material.
  25. 0:53So, a key element of drug development
  26. 0:56and product or process characterization
  27. 0:59is a requirement to identify and control
  28. 1:03critical material attributes and
  29. 1:05critical process parameters that
  30. 1:08influence critical quality
  31. 1:11attributes.
  32. 1:13So, the two factors that affect critical
  33. 1:15quality attributes, it is critical
  34. 1:17material attributes and critical process
  35. 1:20parameters.
  36. 1:22Over here in this diagram, we can see
  37. 1:25the critical material attributes, they
  38. 1:27are the starting material.
  39. 1:30So, that's why we consider them as input
  40. 1:32material.
  41. 1:34Then critical process parameters, these
  42. 1:36are the parameters of the manufacturing
  43. 1:38process pharmaceutical unit operations.
  44. 1:41And they both affect the critical
  45. 1:43quality attributes, that is the
  46. 1:46quality of the output material of the
  47. 1:48product.
  48. 1:49So, we can say a material attribute or a
  49. 1:52process parameter,
  50. 1:53when can we call it as critical?
  51. 1:56When a realistic change in that
  52. 1:58attribute or parameter, it impacts it
  53. 2:01significantly impacts the quality of the
  54. 2:04output material. So, any change in
  55. 2:07critical material attribute or critical
  56. 2:09process parameters, when it affect or
  57. 2:12impact the quality of the output
  58. 2:15material,
  59. 2:16we call them critical.
  60. 2:20Let's take a look in detail one by one
  61. 2:23into critical process parameters and
  62. 2:25critical material attributes.
  63. 2:27A critical process parameter, it is
  64. 2:29another category of risk factor that is
  65. 2:32associated with manufacturing variables.
  66. 2:35So, we can define a process parameter,
  67. 2:38it is a measure that indicates the
  68. 2:40status of the process or unit operation.
  69. 2:44And it can be changed to achieve the
  70. 2:46desired product quality.
  71. 2:48Now, what are the examples of this
  72. 2:51process parameters? pH, cooling rate,
  73. 2:55drying rate,
  74. 2:56rotation speed, pressure, temperature.
  75. 3:00So, these are called as process
  76. 3:02parameters.
  77. 3:05When are they considered critical? When
  78. 3:07any change
  79. 3:09within the normal operating ranges that
  80. 3:12can affect a CQA, then a process
  81. 3:15parameter becomes a critical process
  82. 3:18parameter.
  83. 3:20Therefore, it should be monitored or
  84. 3:21controlled to ensure that the process
  85. 3:23produces desired quality.
  86. 3:26We can say a critical process parameter,
  87. 3:29it is a term used in pharmaceutical
  88. 3:32production
  89. 3:33for process variables which have an
  90. 3:35impact on critical quality attribute.
  91. 3:40These critical factors, they are based
  92. 3:42on the severity of harm to a patient,
  93. 3:45the safety, efficacy of the medicine,
  94. 3:48and how it affects the safety
  95. 3:51of a patient resulting from failure to
  96. 3:53meet the quality attribute.
  97. 3:55So,
  98. 3:56a a case where the factors, any
  99. 3:59variation in the factors, it affects the
  100. 4:02uh safety and efficacy
  101. 4:04of the patient, then in that case the
  102. 4:07factor becomes critical.
  103. 4:09So, what we have learned till now, the
  104. 4:11critical process parameters, they have
  105. 4:13direct impact on critical quality
  106. 4:17attributes.
  107. 4:18And a process parameter, it can be
  108. 4:20changed, there can be variations in it,
  109. 4:23it can be measured, it can be
  110. 4:24controlled.
  111. 4:26And how can we identify a critical
  112. 4:28process parameter?
  113. 4:30By correlating manufacturing process
  114. 4:32data with finished product testing
  115. 4:34results. So, this shows which variables
  116. 4:37have greatest impact on product quality.
  117. 4:41We need to understand when a potential
  118. 4:44process parameter becomes a critical
  119. 4:46process parameter.
  120. 4:48When it has high impact on critical
  121. 4:51quality attribute, that is CQA.
  122. 4:54This critical process parameters, they
  123. 4:56identified from a list of potential
  124. 4:59process parameters using risk assessment
  125. 5:02and experimental work. So, on the basis
  126. 5:05of risk
  127. 5:06risk assessment and experimental work,
  128. 5:09there's a list of potential process
  129. 5:11parameters, and then from that list we
  130. 5:14identify critical process parameters.
  131. 5:18So, what are critical process parameters
  132. 5:20which have high impact on
  133. 5:22CQA, that is critical quality attribute.
  134. 5:27Any process is considered to be well
  135. 5:30understood when all sources of
  136. 5:32variability they have been identified,
  137. 5:35explained,
  138. 5:37and managed. Therefore, allowing better
  139. 5:39prediction of CQAs.
  140. 5:42A better process understanding
  141. 5:45could be established by identifying all
  142. 5:48potential process parameters that could
  143. 5:51affect the CQAs.
  144. 5:54Now, in this case, screening out the
  145. 5:58high-risk process parameters, we need to
  146. 6:01screen out the high-risk process
  147. 6:03parameters based on
  148. 6:06prior knowledge and risk assessment.
  149. 6:09Thus, linking process parameters with
  150. 6:12CQAs by designing and conducting
  151. 6:15experiments,
  152. 6:16determining the criticality of process
  153. 6:19parameters based on experimental
  154. 6:22results.
  155. 6:23And thus, defining acceptable ranges for
  156. 6:26critical process parameters. Like this,
  157. 6:29we can link critical process parameters
  158. 6:31to CQA.
  159. 6:34Here is a case study wherein we can see
  160. 6:37uh example of process parameters.
  161. 6:40Now, in this case study, uh potential
  162. 6:43critical process parameters, uh
  163. 6:46and how which critical quality
  164. 6:49attributes they impact for a
  165. 6:52lyophilization operation, it is given.
  166. 6:55Now, see, uh for a lyophilization
  167. 6:57operation, what are the process
  168. 6:58parameters? Drying temperature, uh
  169. 7:00drying pressure, chamber pressure,
  170. 7:02chamber pressure,
  171. 7:04then freezing rate, freezing duration,
  172. 7:06primary drying duration, secondary
  173. 7:08drying duration. These are the stages of
  174. 7:10lyophilization.
  175. 7:12And which quality attributes they
  176. 7:14impact?
  177. 7:15Stability, size, reconstitution time.
  178. 7:20So, this is how process parameters
  179. 7:22impact quality attribute. This is how it
  180. 7:25looks like, the document looks like.
  181. 7:29This is one more case study I have
  182. 7:30pulled from the internet wherein we can
  183. 7:32see potential process parameters that
  184. 7:34are related to wet granulation.
  185. 7:37Now, over here we can see
  186. 7:40uh
  187. 7:40for example, high or low shear
  188. 7:42granulation, for that fill level,
  189. 7:45granulation mix time,
  190. 7:48then fluid fluid bed granulation, type
  191. 7:51of fluid bed, spray nozzle,
  192. 7:53then fill level.
  193. 7:56So, these are the potential process
  194. 7:58parameters.
  195. 8:01Coming to the second factor that affects
  196. 8:03critical quality attribute, that is CMA,
  197. 8:06critical material attribute.
  198. 8:09A material attribute, it is physical,
  199. 8:11chemical, or biological property or
  200. 8:14characteristic.
  201. 8:15Again, when it is considered critical?
  202. 8:18When any variation within the normal
  203. 8:20operating range, it can affect the CQA,
  204. 8:23that is critical quality attribute.
  205. 8:25Therefore, it should be monitored,
  206. 8:27controlled to ensure that the material
  207. 8:29produces the desired quality.
  208. 8:32When we say
  209. 8:34material in critical material attribute,
  210. 8:37it means raw material, starting
  211. 8:39material, reagent, solvent,
  212. 8:42intermediate.
  213. 8:43Well, attribute means physical,
  214. 8:45chemical, biological, microbiological
  215. 8:48property or character characteristic of
  216. 8:50this material that can be measured.
  217. 8:53It could be particle morphology,
  218. 8:55then ingredient ratio, drug loading,
  219. 8:58surfactant concentration,
  220. 9:00aqueous solubility.
  221. 9:03A material attribute is critical when
  222. 9:06any change, any variation in it
  223. 9:08significantly impact a CQA, that is
  224. 9:11critical quality attribute.
  225. 9:15Then there's this case study I pulled
  226. 9:18from the internet.
  227. 9:20A critical assessment of properties of
  228. 9:23the excipients, input material.
  229. 9:26It is desirable.
  230. 9:28Why? To identify what impact it will
  231. 9:31have on critical quality attributes of
  232. 9:33the product.
  233. 9:34Now, CMA, they considered for input
  234. 9:37material including drug substance,
  235. 9:40excipients,
  236. 9:41granulating fluid. Now, uh please
  237. 9:44understand over here the case study that
  238. 9:46we are taking, it is of wet granulation
  239. 9:48process. That's why in wet granulation
  240. 9:51process, CMAs, uh the critical material
  241. 9:54attributes, what all is considered under
  242. 9:56that? Input material, drug, excipient,
  243. 10:00granulating fluid.
  244. 10:02And CQAs, that is critical quality
  245. 10:04attribute. This is for output material.
  246. 10:07What is the output of wet granulation?
  247. 10:09We obtain granules after the process of
  248. 10:12wet granulation. So, these granules,
  249. 10:14they are the output material.
  250. 10:17So, such properties, they would qualify
  251. 10:19to be the critical material attributes
  252. 10:21for the product. And they would demand
  253. 10:24establishment of a decision space.
  254. 10:26Uh sorry, design space as a part of
  255. 10:29control strategy for the
  256. 10:32development process.
  257. 10:34Now, over here, we can see the potential
  258. 10:37critical material attributes. They are
  259. 10:39particle size,
  260. 10:40degree of crystallinity, surface area,
  261. 10:43moisture content, solubility,
  262. 10:46then binder, diluent type, grade,
  263. 10:49disintegrant type, grade.
  264. 10:53Then, this is the granulation process.
  265. 10:55And
  266. 10:57uh which all critical quality attribute
  267. 10:59it can affect the CMAs? Granule size
  268. 11:02distribution, granule flow,
  269. 11:05granule strength,
  270. 11:07then porosity, compactability.
  271. 11:10Now, after understanding what is a
  272. 11:12critical quality attribute, what is
  273. 11:15critical process parameters, what is a
  274. 11:17critical material attribute, we need to
  275. 11:19understand how are these three
  276. 11:21correlated. What is the correlation
  277. 11:23between them?
  278. 11:25Now, in this diagram, we'll try and
  279. 11:27understand how are CMAs, CPPs, and CQAs
  280. 11:31interrelated or correlated with each
  281. 11:32other.
  282. 11:34CMA, that is the input material
  283. 11:36attributes.
  284. 11:38So, once we are using input material in
  285. 11:41the form of API, excipients, those
  286. 11:44attributes of those material,
  287. 11:47then CPP, this is the process
  288. 11:50parameters. For example, let's take a
  289. 11:51simple example of tableting.
  290. 11:54So, in tableting, what are the different
  291. 11:56process that are used?
  292. 11:58Like granulation, drying, compression,
  293. 12:03coating. So, these are the different
  294. 12:04process and the parameters associated
  295. 12:07with those process. How
  296. 12:10these both affect the quality of the
  297. 12:13output material.
  298. 12:15So, CMA, CPP, any variation in these two
  299. 12:19factors, they affect the quality of the
  300. 12:21output material. That's why these three
  301. 12:24are correlated with each other.
  302. 12:27Now, this is a case study where we can
  303. 12:30see
  304. 12:31the correlation between
  305. 12:34the process parameters,
  306. 12:36then the quality attributes, and the
  307. 12:39material attributes.
  308. 12:41This we have taken example of tableting
  309. 12:43process.
  310. 12:45We can see
  311. 12:46uh during the operation of tableting,
  312. 12:48what are the different stages?
  313. 12:49Granulation, drying, milling, mixing,
  314. 12:52compression, and coating.
  315. 12:55So, what is the CMA during the
  316. 12:58granulation process?
  317. 13:00Particle size distribution, particle
  318. 13:02shape, elasticity,
  319. 13:04density, hardness, moisture content.
  320. 13:07What are the process parameters? Mixing
  321. 13:09time,
  322. 13:10then uh binder fluid addition rate and
  323. 13:13time,
  324. 13:14method of binder addition, temperature.
  325. 13:17And what is the quality attribute?
  326. 13:19The granule size and distribution. What
  327. 13:22is the moisture content of the granules
  328. 13:24that we have achieved? Similar manner,
  329. 13:28we will see for drying. These are the
  330. 13:31CMAs for drying.
  331. 13:33Then, these are the CMAs for
  332. 13:36milling.
  333. 13:38This is for mixing.
  334. 13:40Let's take a look at compression. Again,
  335. 13:43we'll try and understand. In
  336. 13:44compression,
  337. 13:46the CMAs are part granule or particle
  338. 13:49size, depending upon whether we're using
  339. 13:51granule or if it is direct compression,
  340. 13:54in that case, particle size.
  341. 13:56Then, granule or particle size
  342. 13:58distribution, cohesive adhesive
  343. 14:00property, because it is a compression.
  344. 14:02Elasticity, brittleness,
  345. 14:05then hardness, moisture content,
  346. 14:08density, porosity.
  347. 14:10Then, process parameters involved?
  348. 14:12Compression force,
  349. 14:14hopper design,
  350. 14:16roller type, ejection force. What are
  351. 14:19the quality attributes? Weight
  352. 14:21variation, hardness, friability, content
  353. 14:23uniformity, assay, dissolution,
  354. 14:25disintegration. So, these are If you
  355. 14:27remember, these are all the tests that
  356. 14:29we perform once we have manufactured
  357. 14:31tablet in pharmaceutical lab.
  358. 14:35So, this is how all three are correlated
  359. 14:37with each other.
