For the drug product manufacturing process need to be robust for commercialization, it is crucial to evaluate and study the criticality of all process parameters. A formulation robustness study evaluates the qualitative and quantitative impact of formulation compositions on the drug product's critical quality attributes. This determines the critical formulation parameters and establishes their operating and acceptance ranges during drug product manufacturing.
Various models for each unit operation were utilized to evaluate the potential impact of process parameter on product critical quality attributes and process performance. Critical process parameters were identified through risk assessments, and operational ranges were determined using OFAT method, worst case studies, and statistical analysis. A systematic quality DP process control strategy was established according to QbD guidelines, based on documented evidence.
