How to Justify Reduced Testing Schedules Using Risk Assessments

Pharmaceutical companies increasingly seek to streamline stability programs without compromising product quality or regulatory compliance. Justifying reduced testing schedules using risk assessments has become a key component of Quality Risk Management (QRM), enabling optimized protocols aligned with ICH Q9 and Q1E. This article provides a how-to guide for designing reduced testing schedules with robust scientific…

Use Bracketing and Matrixing Effectively in Stability Studies for Product Variants

Understanding the Tip: What are bracketing and matrixing: Bracketing and matrixing are scientifically justified designs used to reduce the number of stability tests required when dealing with multiple strengths, fill volumes, or packaging sizes of a single product line. Bracketing tests only the extremes (e.g., lowest and highest strengths), while matrixing staggers time point testing…
