Reference Standard Characterization

Regulatory Bodies will require that an Excipient:

• Be safe in the amount or “dose” used

• Meet applicable compendial standards • Perform its intended function in the product

• Not adversely affect bioavailability

• Be manufactured in accordance with

appropriate cGMPs

Page 3: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Compendial Monographs:

• Set the minimum critical quality attributes for

the material

• List the tests, methods and acceptance criteria

to be followed

• Frequently require the use of standards

• Are an important piece in the overall puzzle

of acceptability of an excipient

Reference Standards

• A reference standard is a standardized substance which is used as a measurement base for similar substances

– Used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis

– Should be highly pure

– Must be well characterized

• May be “Primary” or “Secondary” reference standards

Page 5: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Primary Reference Standards

• ICH Q7

– “Primary reference standards obtained from an officially recognized source* are normally used without testing if stored under conditions consistent with the supplier’s recommendations.”

*USP, EP, JP, NIST

• Ref: ICH Q7 11.17

Page 6: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Secondary Reference Standards

• US FDA viewpoint:

“A Reference Standard may be obtained from the USP/NF or other official sources. A working standard (e.g. in house or secondary standard) is a standard that is qualified against and used instead of a (primary) reference standard”

– ref.: FDA Guidance for Industry CM&C Documentation, section: Analytical

Procedures and Methods Validation. www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/2396dft.htm

Page 7: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Secondary Reference Standards

• USP Viewpoint:

“Where the use of USP Reference Standards is specified, the USP Reference Standard, or a secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref: USP 35 (2012) General Chapter <1010>

Page 8: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Secondary Reference Standards

• EMA (EDQM) Viewpoint:

“A secondary standard is a standard established by comparison with a primary standard. A secondary standard may be used for routine quality control purposes for any of the uses described above for primary standards provided that it is established with reference to the primary standard.”

• Ref: European Pharmacopeia 6th edition (2009) Chapter 5.12 Reference

Standards

Page 9: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Traceability: What does this Mean?

• US FDA viewpoint: “ When in-house working reference standards are used, descriptions of

the preparation, characterization, specifications, testing, substitutions, and results should be provided. The SOPs to be used for manufacture and qualification of a new in-house standard should be included. The data from the calibration of the in-house working reference standards should be compared against a primary reference standard and those results submitted.”

The Standard Setting Process

• Determination of Need

• Procurement of Material

• Analytical Characterization

• Data Review

• Approval of compound for use as a standard

• Packaging and Labeling

• Assuring Continued Suitability

• Distribution

Page 11: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Determination of Need

• Current analytical technologies in Excipient, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and dietary supplement analysis and release require the use of a highly characterized comparison reference material.

• Options to fill this requirement include:

– Pharmacopeial Standards – “In House” standard programs – Other providers of secondary standards

Page 12: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Procurement of Material

• Vendor Selection – Reputation

– Availability

– FDA Approved

– Audit

• Procurement Specifications

• cGMP receipt and storage

Page 13: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Analytical Characterization

• Method Review

• Selected Collaborating Laboratories should be:

– Independent

– High Quality

– Provide sufficient customer service

Page 14: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Data Review • Data review should be performed by a person:

– Knowledgeable on the chemistry of the compound

– Knowledgeable on the use of a reference standard

– Independent of the testing and use

• Review of Raw Data – Typically done by peer review in lab

• Assembly of Reference Standard Report/ File

Page 15: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Approval

• Independent of process

– Assess validity of data

– Assess suitability for use as a reference standard

• Single person or by committee?

Page 16: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Packaging and Labeling

• cGMP

– Packaging Components

– Packaging Area/ Environment

– Packaging Processes

– Labeling approval

– Label Control/ reconciliation

Page 17: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Compound Stability

• Intervals for testing

– Not a drug stability program

– Determining continued suitability for use as a reference standard

Page 18: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Storage/ Distribution

• Store in validated refrigeration or freezer.

• Store in logical locations.

• Distribution records

• Distribution carriers

• Time in customs

• Long term storage versus shipping storage

Page 19: Reference Standard Characterizationipecamericas.org/sites/default/files/ef12april25-hall.b#4-steve... · secondary standard traceable to USP Reference Standard, is used.” – Ref:

Audit Expectations

• An Auditor is going to want to see:

– A complete history of the acquisition of the material

– A logical approach to the characterization

– All raw data used to assign a traceability value

– All analytical calculations

– Typical QA reviews at appropriate points in the process

– Packaging and Labeling is under control

– Storage and Distribution is under control

– There is a program to assess continued suitability for use
