Design Space DeterminationQuality by Design

FDA defines design space in its Guidance for Industry Q8: Pharmaceutical Development, as:

“The multidimensional combination and interaction of input variables (e.g., material attributes) and process parameters that have been demonstrated to provide assurance of quality. Working within the design space is not considered as a change. Movement out of the design space is considered to be a change and would normally initiate a regulatory post approval change process.

Design space is proposed by the applicant and is subject to regulatory assessment and approval.”

Objective:

Define an operating window in process factor space where we have 95% confidence that 99% of the population meet (or exceed) specifications.

Tools:

Use empirical DOE to model the responses as functions of the process factors.

Use a tolerance interval to “back off” (provide a buffer) fromUse a tolerance interval to back off (provide a buffer) from the specifications.

13June 2013 Webinar

Illustrative ExampleTableting Process

This case study illustrates how DOE and tolerance intervals can be used to set an operating window where specifications are

i t tl tconsistently met.

An optimal design is run on two process parameters (granulation time and lubrification time) in a tableting process.

Three responses (dissolution, friability and hardness) are measured.

The specifications are:The specifications are:

• Dissolution ≥ 75%

• Friability ≤ 0.5%

• Hardness ≥ 10 kP

Gaining confidence that individuals are within specifications.

If we want more confidence that individual units are within specifications:

Then we should back off using a tolerance interval rather than a confidence interval.

Specify the confidence level; e.g. 95%.

Specify the portion of the population to be within specifications; e.g. 99%.

Note:Note:

A confidence interval pads our design space to give us confidence that the process mean is within boundaries.

A tolerance interval gives us confidence that a stated proportion of the population is within specifications.

17June 2013 Webinar

Tolerance IntervalDefinition

Tolerance Interval: An interval that covers a fixed proportion of outcomes from the population with a pre-determined confidence level for estimating the population mean andconfidence level for estimating the population mean and standard deviation.

QbD – New vs Existing Process

Implementation of DOE as a QbD tool depends on your current state of knowledge about the process:

New Process Optimization

Use RSM to simultaneously model the influencing factors and focus in on where to operate.

Use Tolerance Intervals to define the design space.

Existing Process

Design space is assumed to be known from pre existing Design space is assumed to be known from pre-existing production data.

Use factorial DOE with Tolerance Intervals to verify design space, that is, demonstrate that no large effects will occur.

Extrusion-SpheronizationQbD Illustration #1: Mean Model

Evaluate capability relative to the pellet size specifications: 700 to 800 µm.

Two responses are provided.

Response 1 shows the results if the process is stable over the range tested.

Response 2 shows the results if there are small effects.

Quality by Design – QbD Wh t i QbD What is QbD

(FDA references)

Finding the design space (tableting process)

Proving the control space (extrusion-spheronization)

S mmar Summary

55June 2013 Webinar

Verification for SpecificationsSummary

1. Size your DOE appropriately for its propose: Functional design – size via confidence intervals.

A confidence interval pads our design space to give us confidence that the process mean is within boundaries.

Verify specifications – size via tolerance intervals.A tolerance interval give us confidence that a stated portion of the population is within specifications.

2. TI multipliers are larger than those for a CI. As the sample size increases: As the sample size increases:

• CIs shrink towards zero.• TIs tend towards a fixed value.

3. Tolerance intervals require a large design (sample size).

Quality by DesignDesign Space Determination

Summary:

Design space determination is a key aspect of QbD “Quality by Design”.

Design space is the multidimensional combination and interaction of input variables that have been demonstrated to provide assurance of quality.

DOE is a means to determine the design space:• Scope out initial formulation and/or process design.• CharacterizationCharacterization• RSM and numeric optimization• Determine design space (graphic optimization)• Verification

57June 2013 Webinar

QbD – New vs Existing Process

Implementation of DOE as a QbD tool depends on your current state of knowledge about the process:

New Process

Use DOE to simultaneously gain knowledge about the influencing factors and interactions, and learn where to operate.

Use Tolerance Intervals to define the design space.

Existing Process

Design space is assumed to be known Design space is assumed to be known. (pre-existing production data)

Use DOE with Tolerance Intervals to verify design space. (show no large effects present).
