Quality & Compliance

Quality built into every development decision

Quality by Design, documented processes and analytical evaluation connect formulation development with controlled manufacturing and continual improvement.

01

Quality by Design

A development approach that considers material attributes, process parameters and product quality together, with the assessment scope defined for each programme.

02

Controlled manufacturing

Documented processes and controlled manufacturing conditions support reproducibility as a formulation progresses towards commercial supply.

03

Analytical evaluation

Product characterisation, dissolution evaluation and stability assessment inform formulation and process development.

04

Continual improvement

Process understanding and analytical evaluation support an ongoing focus on robustness, scalability and manufacturability.

Quality through understanding

Understand the material. Control the process.

Technical assessment

The characteristics that shape product performance

The assessment plan is tailored to each formulation. Depending on the product, it may cover the following areas.

01

Material & particle attributes

  • Particle-size distribution
  • Drug loading and content uniformity
  • Pellet morphology and mechanical properties
02

Coating & product performance

  • Coating uniformity
  • Dissolution behaviour and release characteristics
  • Stability assessment
03

Process understanding

  • Critical material attributes (CMAs)
  • Critical process parameters (CPPs)
  • Critical quality attributes (CQAs)
  • Process robustness and manufacturability

Specifications, test methods and acceptance criteria are agreed for each product programme.

Regulatory support

Documentation for regulated markets

Dossier preparation and analytical documentation to support market-specific regulatory requirements.

  • 01

    CTD dossiers

    Common Technical Document format prepared to specific country requirements.

  • 02

    DMF support

    Drug Master File support underpinned by analytical development and validation.

  • 03

    Stability studies

    Stability programmes to characterise products over their shelf life.
