- 0:09process parameters, and how are they
- 0:12correlated to critical quality
- 0:14attributes.

- 0:26Let's take a look at the factors that
- 0:28affect drug product critical quality
- 0:30attributes. There are two factors that
- 0:32affect.
- 0:33One is properties of input material, and
- 0:36the second one is manufacturing process
- 0:39parameters.
- 0:40When we say properties of input
- 0:42material, over here input materials,
- 0:45they consist of raw materials, starting
- 0:48material,
- 0:49APIs, packaging and labeling material.
- 0:53So, a key element of drug development
- 0:56and product or process characterization
- 0:59is a requirement to identify and control
- 1:03critical material attributes and
- 1:05critical process parameters that
- 1:08influence critical quality
- 1:11attributes.
- 1:13So, the two factors that affect critical
- 1:15quality attributes, it is critical
- 1:17material attributes and critical process
- 1:20parameters.
- 1:22Over here in this diagram, we can see
- 1:25the critical material attributes, they
- 1:27are the starting material.
- 1:30So, that's why we consider them as input
- 1:32material.
- 1:34Then critical process parameters, these
- 1:36are the parameters of the manufacturing
- 1:38process pharmaceutical unit operations.
- 1:41And they both affect the critical
- 1:43quality attributes, that is the
- 1:46quality of the output material of the
- 1:48product.
- 1:49So, we can say a material attribute or a
- 1:52process parameter,
- 1:53when can we call it as critical?
- 1:56When a realistic change in that
- 1:58attribute or parameter, it impacts it
- 2:01significantly impacts the quality of the
- 2:04output material. So, any change in
- 2:07critical material attribute or critical
- 2:09process parameters, when it affect or
- 2:12impact the quality of the output
- 2:15material,
- 2:16we call them critical.
- 2:20Let's take a look in detail one by one
- 2:23into critical process parameters and
- 2:25critical material attributes.
- 2:27A critical process parameter, it is
- 2:29another category of risk factor that is
- 2:32associated with manufacturing variables.
- 2:35So, we can define a process parameter,
- 2:38it is a measure that indicates the
- 2:40status of the process or unit operation.
- 2:44And it can be changed to achieve the
- 2:46desired product quality.
- 2:48Now, what are the examples of this
- 2:51process parameters? pH, cooling rate,
- 2:55drying rate,
- 2:56rotation speed, pressure, temperature.
- 3:00So, these are called as process
- 3:02parameters.
- 3:05When are they considered critical? When
- 3:07any change
- 3:09within the normal operating ranges that
- 3:12can affect a CQA, then a process
- 3:15parameter becomes a critical process
- 3:18parameter.
- 3:20Therefore, it should be monitored or
- 3:21controlled to ensure that the process
- 3:23produces desired quality.
- 3:26We can say a critical process parameter,
- 3:29it is a term used in pharmaceutical
- 3:32production
- 3:33for process variables which have an
- 3:35impact on critical quality attribute.
- 3:40These critical factors, they are based
- 3:42on the severity of harm to a patient,
- 3:45the safety, efficacy of the medicine,
- 3:48and how it affects the safety
- 3:51of a patient resulting from failure to
- 3:53meet the quality attribute.
- 3:55So,
- 3:56a a case where the factors, any
- 3:59variation in the factors, it affects the
- 4:02uh safety and efficacy
- 4:04of the patient, then in that case the
- 4:07factor becomes critical.
- 4:09So, what we have learned till now, the
- 4:11critical process parameters, they have
- 4:13direct impact on critical quality
- 4:17attributes.
- 4:18And a process parameter, it can be
- 4:20changed, there can be variations in it,
- 4:23it can be measured, it can be
- 4:24controlled.
- 4:26And how can we identify a critical
- 4:28process parameter?
- 4:30By correlating manufacturing process
- 4:32data with finished product testing
- 4:34results. So, this shows which variables
- 4:37have greatest impact on product quality.
- 4:41We need to understand when a potential
- 4:44process parameter becomes a critical
- 4:46process parameter.
- 4:48When it has high impact on critical
- 4:51quality attribute, that is CQA.
- 4:54This critical process parameters, they
- 4:56identified from a list of potential
- 4:59process parameters using risk assessment
- 5:02and experimental work. So, on the basis
- 5:05of risk
- 5:06risk assessment and experimental work,
- 5:09there's a list of potential process
- 5:11parameters, and then from that list we
- 5:14identify critical process parameters.
- 5:18So, what are critical process parameters
- 5:20which have high impact on
- 5:22CQA, that is critical quality attribute.
- 5:27Any process is considered to be well
- 5:30understood when all sources of
- 5:32variability they have been identified,
- 5:35explained,
- 5:37and managed. Therefore, allowing better
- 5:39prediction of CQAs.
- 5:42A better process understanding
- 5:45could be established by identifying all
- 5:48potential process parameters that could
- 5:51affect the CQAs.
- 5:54Now, in this case, screening out the
- 5:58high-risk process parameters, we need to
- 6:01screen out the high-risk process
- 6:03parameters based on
- 6:06prior knowledge and risk assessment.
- 6:09Thus, linking process parameters with
- 6:12CQAs by designing and conducting
- 6:15experiments,
- 6:16determining the criticality of process
- 6:19parameters based on experimental
- 6:22results.
- 6:23And thus, defining acceptable ranges for
- 6:26critical process parameters. Like this,
- 6:29we can link critical process parameters
- 6:31to CQA.
- 6:34Here is a case study wherein we can see
- 6:37uh example of process parameters.
- 6:40Now, in this case study, uh potential
- 6:43critical process parameters, uh
- 6:46and how which critical quality
- 6:49attributes they impact for a
- 6:52lyophilization operation, it is given.
- 6:55Now, see, uh for a lyophilization
- 6:57operation, what are the process
- 6:58parameters? Drying temperature, uh
- 7:00drying pressure, chamber pressure,
- 7:02chamber pressure,
- 7:04then freezing rate, freezing duration,
- 7:06primary drying duration, secondary
- 7:08drying duration. These are the stages of
- 7:10lyophilization.
- 7:12And which quality attributes they
- 7:14impact?
- 7:15Stability, size, reconstitution time.
- 7:20So, this is how process parameters
- 7:22impact quality attribute. This is how it
- 7:25looks like, the document looks like.
- 7:29This is one more case study I have
- 7:30pulled from the internet wherein we can
- 7:32see potential process parameters that
- 7:34are related to wet granulation.
- 7:37Now, over here we can see
- 7:40uh
- 7:40for example, high or low shear
- 7:42granulation, for that fill level,
- 7:45granulation mix time,
- 7:48then fluid fluid bed granulation, type
- 7:51of fluid bed, spray nozzle,
- 7:53then fill level.
- 7:56So, these are the potential process
- 7:58parameters.
- 8:01Coming to the second factor that affects
- 8:03critical quality attribute, that is CMA,
- 8:06critical material attribute.
- 8:09A material attribute, it is physical,
- 8:11chemical, or biological property or
- 8:14characteristic.
- 8:15Again, when it is considered critical?
- 8:18When any variation within the normal
- 8:20operating range, it can affect the CQA,
- 8:23that is critical quality attribute.
- 8:25Therefore, it should be monitored,
- 8:27controlled to ensure that the material
- 8:29produces the desired quality.
- 8:32When we say
- 8:34material in critical material attribute,
- 8:37it means raw material, starting
- 8:39material, reagent, solvent,
- 8:42intermediate.
- 8:43Well, attribute means physical,
- 8:45chemical, biological, microbiological
- 8:48property or character characteristic of
- 8:50this material that can be measured.
- 8:53It could be particle morphology,
- 8:55then ingredient ratio, drug loading,
- 8:58surfactant concentration,
- 9:00aqueous solubility.
- 9:03A material attribute is critical when
- 9:06any change, any variation in it
- 9:08significantly impact a CQA, that is
- 9:11critical quality attribute.
- 9:15Then there's this case study I pulled
- 9:18from the internet.
- 9:20A critical assessment of properties of
- 9:23the excipients, input material.
- 9:26It is desirable.
- 9:28Why? To identify what impact it will
- 9:31have on critical quality attributes of
- 9:33the product.
- 9:34Now, CMA, they considered for input
- 9:37material including drug substance,
- 9:40excipients,
- 9:41granulating fluid. Now, uh please
- 9:44understand over here the case study that
- 9:46we are taking, it is of wet granulation
- 9:48process. That's why in wet granulation
- 9:51process, CMAs, uh the critical material
- 9:54attributes, what all is considered under
- 9:56that? Input material, drug, excipient,
- 10:00granulating fluid.
- 10:02And CQAs, that is critical quality
- 10:04attribute. This is for output material.
- 10:07What is the output of wet granulation?
- 10:09We obtain granules after the process of
- 10:12wet granulation. So, these granules,
- 10:14they are the output material.
- 10:17So, such properties, they would qualify
- 10:19to be the critical material attributes
- 10:21for the product. And they would demand
- 10:24establishment of a decision space.
- 10:26Uh sorry, design space as a part of
- 10:29control strategy for the
- 10:32development process.
- 10:34Now, over here, we can see the potential
- 10:37critical material attributes. They are
- 10:39particle size,
- 10:40degree of crystallinity, surface area,
- 10:43moisture content, solubility,
- 10:46then binder, diluent type, grade,
- 10:49disintegrant type, grade.
- 10:53Then, this is the granulation process.
- 10:55And
- 10:57uh which all critical quality attribute
- 10:59it can affect the CMAs? Granule size
- 11:02distribution, granule flow,
- 11:05granule strength,
- 11:07then porosity, compactability.
- 11:10Now, after understanding what is a
- 11:12critical quality attribute, what is
- 11:15critical process parameters, what is a
- 11:17critical material attribute, we need to
- 11:19understand how are these three
- 11:21correlated. What is the correlation
- 11:23between them?
- 11:25Now, in this diagram, we'll try and
- 11:27understand how are CMAs, CPPs, and CQAs
- 11:31interrelated or correlated with each
- 11:32other.
- 11:34CMA, that is the input material
- 11:36attributes.
- 11:38So, once we are using input material in
- 11:41the form of API, excipients, those
- 11:44attributes of those material,
- 11:47then CPP, this is the process
- 11:50parameters. For example, let's take a
- 11:51simple example of tableting.
- 11:54So, in tableting, what are the different
- 11:56process that are used?
- 11:58Like granulation, drying, compression,
- 12:03coating. So, these are the different
- 12:04process and the parameters associated
- 12:07with those process. How
- 12:10these both affect the quality of the
- 12:13output material.
- 12:15So, CMA, CPP, any variation in these two
- 12:19factors, they affect the quality of the
- 12:21output material. That's why these three
- 12:24are correlated with each other.
- 12:27Now, this is a case study where we can
- 12:30see
- 12:31the correlation between
- 12:34the process parameters,
- 12:36then the quality attributes, and the
- 12:39material attributes.
- 12:41This we have taken example of tableting
- 12:43process.
- 12:45We can see
- 12:46uh during the operation of tableting,
- 12:48what are the different stages?
- 12:49Granulation, drying, milling, mixing,
- 12:52compression, and coating.
- 12:55So, what is the CMA during the
- 12:58granulation process?
- 13:00Particle size distribution, particle
- 13:02shape, elasticity,
- 13:04density, hardness, moisture content.
- 13:07What are the process parameters? Mixing
- 13:09time,
- 13:10then uh binder fluid addition rate and
- 13:13time,
- 13:14method of binder addition, temperature.
- 13:17And what is the quality attribute?
- 13:19The granule size and distribution. What
- 13:22is the moisture content of the granules
- 13:24that we have achieved? Similar manner,
- 13:28we will see for drying. These are the
- 13:31CMAs for drying.
- 13:33Then, these are the CMAs for
- 13:36milling.
- 13:38This is for mixing.
- 13:40Let's take a look at compression. Again,
- 13:43we'll try and understand. In
- 13:44compression,
- 13:46the CMAs are part granule or particle
- 13:49size, depending upon whether we're using
- 13:51granule or if it is direct compression,
- 13:54in that case, particle size.
- 13:56Then, granule or particle size
- 13:58distribution, cohesive adhesive
- 14:00property, because it is a compression.
- 14:02Elasticity, brittleness,
- 14:05then hardness, moisture content,
- 14:08density, porosity.
- 14:10Then, process parameters involved?
- 14:12Compression force,
- 14:14hopper design,
- 14:16roller type, ejection force. What are
- 14:19the quality attributes? Weight
- 14:21variation, hardness, friability, content
- 14:23uniformity, assay, dissolution,
- 14:25disintegration. So, these are If you
- 14:27remember, these are all the tests that
- 14:29we perform once we have manufactured
- 14:31tablet in pharmaceutical lab.
- 14:35So, this is how all three are correlated
- 14:37with each other.
