29 The quality paradigm Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

30 ICH -20 year process The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) The ICH was initiated in 1990 Objective of ICH: Technical and scientific harmonisation between Japan, Europe and US. This objective has evolved significantly. Slide 30 PharmOut 2013

31 Quality Paradigm Paradigm a framework containing the basic assumptions, ways of thinking and methodology that are commonly accepted by members of a scientific community Slide 31 PharmOut 2013

32 Quality paradigm Develop a harmonised pharmaceutical quality system applicable across the lifecycle of the product emphasizing an integrated approach to quality risk management and science. Pharmaceutical Quality System ICH, 2003 Quality risk management Science and knowledge Slide 32 PharmOut 2013

33 Quality paradigm ICH Q8 Pharmaceutical Development ICH Q11 Development and Manufacture of Drug Substances ICH Q9 Quality Risk Management ICH Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System Slide 33 PharmOut 2013

34 Quality paradigm Science and knowledge should not be isolated, but are dynamic across the lifecycle of the product and process and implemented throughout the quality management systems Slide 34 PharmOut 2013

35 Quality paradigm Key points 1 Quality must be built in. Quality cannot be tested in. 2 Utilise and rely on science throughout the product lifecycle 3 QRM is a key enabler to be applied acrossthe product lifecycle 4 Toassure product quality, a robust pharmaceutical quality system and knowledge management must be in place 5 An integrated approach to quality; including development, manufacturing and quality Slide 35 PharmOut 2013

36 Quality paradigm Quality must be built in. Quality cannot be tested in. In process and end product testing are only indicators of product quality What must be considered: In process and end product testing Process reliability and robustness Controlling variables More comprehensive assurance of product quality Slide 36 PharmOut 2013

37 Quality paradigm Utilise and rely on science throughout the product lifecycle What are the Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) of a bottle of water? Slide 37 PharmOut 2013

38 Quality paradigm Slide 38 PharmOut 2013

39 Quality paradigm QRM is a key enabler to be applied across the product lifecycle Utilise QRM to formalise knowledge and establish more reliable communication mechanisms Utilise QRM to assess and evaluate the impact of variables to the product and process QRM is a dynamic process that continually evolves Slide 39 PharmOut 2013

40 Quality paradigm To assure product quality, a robust pharmaceutical quality system and knowledge management system must be in place: QRM must be integrated into the quality management system Knowledge must be: Acquired Captured Managed Slide 40 PharmOut 2013

41 Quality paradigm An integrated approach to quality, including: Development Manufacturing Quality Stand alone systems will not adequately incorporate knowledge Information and knowledge from all phases of the product lifecycle must feedback into the quality management system Slide 41 PharmOut 2013

42 ICH Q8 Empirical, minimal approach Considers only the essential product development requirements Enhanced approach Quality by Design (QbD) Comprehensive understanding of product and process Slide 42 PharmOut 2013

43 Approaches & Outcomes Minimal Enhanced Conducted one variable at a time minimum product knowledge Focus on optimization and reproducibility of process End product testing Primary control through FPP specifications FPP quality controlled by in-process and end product testing Multivariate experiments extensive product knowledge Focus on control strategy and robustness of process On line (PAT) tools utilized FPP specifications part of overall control strategy FPP quality ensured through risk based control strategy since product and process are well understood. Real time release testing with possible reduction of end product testing Quality over product life cycle managed through problem solving and corrective action Quality over product life cycle managed through preventive action and continuous improvement Satish Mallya, World Health Organisation, 2011 Slide 43 PharmOut 2013

47 ICH Q8 Pharmaceutical Development Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

48 Quality In Brussels, 2008, the ICH made the following statement: develop a harmonisedpharmaceutical quality system applicable across the lifecycleof the product emphasizing an integrated approach to quality risk management and science. Slide 48 PharmOut 2013

49 Pharmaceutical development The aims of pharmaceutical development include: The design of a quality product and its manufacturing process Slide 49 PharmOut 2013

50 Pharmaceutical development Design a quality product and its manufacturing process Build quality in to the design of the product and its manufacturing process Consistently deliver the intended performance of the product Slide 50 PharmOut 2013

51 Pharmaceutical development Research and Development (R&D) activities should not be isolated from the wider business. R&D provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the product and its manufacturing process. This learning and knowledge must be translated into the subsequent life cycle phases. Slide 51 PharmOut 2013

52 Pharmaceutical development R&D is no longer restricted to developing a pharmaceutical product, it must include the development of a manufacturing process. One of the greatest variables any product will face is the up scale of a manufacturing process. Slide 52 PharmOut 2013

53 Pharmaceutical development What can be done with all of this information gained from pharmaceutical development? 1 Establish quality risk management program for the product and its manufacturing process 2 Gain knowledge and establish parameters (design space) where you can verify the consistent manufacture of a product that fulfils its intended purpose Slide 53 PharmOut 2013

54 ICH Q8 ICH Q8 Pharmaceutical Development, is split into two sections: Part I Pharmaceutical Development details what regulatory submissions need to include for compliance Part II Annex to Pharmaceutical Development considers an approach to realising Pharmaceutical Development Slide 54 PharmOut 2013

55 Pharmaceutical development Slide 55 PharmOut 2013

56 Pharmaceutical development How does a lack of information impact your business right now? How does a lack of knowledge impact your quality decisions right now? Do you know why your product is in the dosage from that it is in? Slide 56 PharmOut 2013

57 Pharmaceutical development Quality by Design (QbD) is one component of pharmaceutical development: Manufacturing processes and formulation Product quality Process control strategies Risk based regulatory scrutiny Patient safety Slide 57 PharmOut 2013

58 Pharmaceutical development While design space is optional, Control Strategy is never optional Jacques Morenas, former PIC/S Chair, April Slide 58 PharmOut 2013

59 US FDA Process Validation stages Stage 1 Process Design Stage 3 Continued Process Verification Stage 2 Process Qualification Slide 59 PharmOut 2013

60 US FDA Stage 1 Identify sources of variability Stage 3 Statistical evaluation of data Stage 2 Control of variability Slide 60 PharmOut 2013

61 Pharmaceutical development Quality by Design Design space Establishing product and process performance parameters Testing, Design of Experiments, verification of product and process performance parameters Stress testing Understanding the impact of variables on your product and process Slide 61 PharmOut 2013

62 Pharmaceutical development Understanding the impact of variables on your product and process. Quality risk management approach Understanding and controlling variability to deliver consistent products that fulfil their label claims Slide 62 PharmOut 2013

63 What drives your process? Product Product understanding is required to design the process. Process Critical Quality Attributes define the process. Slide 63 PharmOut 2013

64 CQA and CPP Critical Quality Attribute A CQA is a physical, chemical, biological, or microbiological property or characteristic that should be within an appropriate limit, range, or distribution to ensure the desired product quality Drug substance, excipients, intermediates Slide 64 PharmOut 2013

65 CQA and CPP Critical Process Parameter A process parameter whose variability has an impact on a critical quality attribute and therefore should be monitored or controlled to ensure the process produces the desired quality Slide 65 PharmOut 2013

66 Pharmaceutical development Slide 66 PharmOut 2013

68 Activity 4 ICH Q8 Pharmaceutical development Activity 4.1 Read and review section 2 to section Summarise the main points in your workbook Work in pairs or individually Contribute to group discussion WB 4.1/ 45 mins Slide 68 PharmOut 2013

69 Pharmaceutical development Considerations should include: Drug substances Excipients Container closure Manufacturing processes Slide 69 PharmOut 2013

70 Pharmaceutical development Organisations may want to fulfil the minimum requirements for product development. This may be a false economy because enhanced science based knowledge may result in more flexibility from regulators. Slide 70 PharmOut 2013

71 Drug product components Drug substance considerations: Physiochemical and biological properties Consider pharmacopeia requirements manufacturability Slide 71 PharmOut 2013

72 Characterisation What are the potential impurities of the drug substance? What are the sources of each impurity? Are impurities a result of degradation or process failure? Slide 72 PharmOut 2013

73 Drug product components Drug substance considerations: What is the drug substance specification? For each test in the specification, what is the justification for the acceptance criteria? For each test in the specification, provide a summary of analytical methods. Slide 73 PharmOut 2013

74 Drug product components What are the storage conditions and the retest/expiry period for the drug substance? The structure of stability studies must be considered Slide 74 PharmOut 2013

75 Drug product components Excipients: The excipients chosen and the justification for selection Compatibility with the drug substance and other excipients must be considered manufacturability Slide 75 PharmOut 2013

76 Drug product components Excipients: What are the components and composition of the final drug product on both a per unit dose and %w/w basis? How does each excipient work in the product? For example, does any excipient exceed the FDA inactive ingredient database limit for this route of administration Slide 76 PharmOut 2013

77 Drug product Formulation development: Which attributes are critical to the quality of the drug product? What is the therapeutic benefit of the product? Slide 77 PharmOut 2013

78 Drug product Overages: The preference is to eliminate overages due to degradation of the product over time. This in itself is an excellent demonstration of pharmaceutical development where a key attribute must be designed to be robust and repeatable and not have to compensate for lack of capability. Slide 78 PharmOut 2013

79 Drug product Physiochemical and biological properties: What impacts safety, performance and manufacturability of the product? Aseptic products will pose different challenges and greater attention on process capability may be required. Slide 79 PharmOut 2013

80 Manufacturing process development What is the manufacturing process utilised and how will the process be controlled? What manufacturing processes are available and what adaptation is required? Slide 80 PharmOut 2013

81 Manufacturing process development The manufacturing process development programme or process improvement programme should identify any critical process parameters that should be monitored or controlled (e.g., granulation end point) to ensure that the product is of the desired quality. Slide 81 PharmOut 2013

82 Methods of manufacture (MoM) The EU guide to Process Validation provides some detail relevant to methods of manufacture. Non-standard MoM Specialised dose forms New technology in conventional processes Highly specialised or highly complex processes Non-standard methods of sterilisation Highly specialised or highly complex Includes processes such as lyophilizationand aseptic manufacture, real time release (parametric release) Slide 82 PharmOut 2013

83 Standard or Non-standard MoM: Needs to be justified on a case-by-case basis considering the appropriate development data or by reference to similar products. Slide 83 PharmOut 2013

84 Manufacturing process development What is the existing or proposed control strategy for the manufacturing process? How are critical attributes monitored? How will data gathered during development studies be analysed? Slide 84 PharmOut 2013

85 Manufacturing process development considerations What is the rationale for selecting this manufacturing process for the drug product? What process development studies, were conducted and at what scale? (the EMA Guideline on Process Validation refers to a scale up factor of less than 10) Slide 85 PharmOut 2013

86 Manufacturing process development What is the process map listing input material attributes, process parameters, and output material quality attributes for all of the unit operations in the manufacturing process? How will the robustness of the process be measured? Slide 86 PharmOut 2013

87 Container closure system Based on the intended use of the product, the container closure system should be justified. Considerations should include: Primary packaging materials Consideration of the product supply chain Materials of construction and product compatibility Slide 87 PharmOut 2013

88 Container closure system Dosing devices must be able to consistently deliver the required dose. Repeated use verification may should consider real life product conditions Slide 88 PharmOut 2013

89 Microbiological attributes Microbiological attributes may include: Microbial limits testing and the relevance of this Preservative systems and the justification for these systems For aseptic products, maintaining integrity of the container closure system Antimicrobial preservative effectiveness Slide 89 PharmOut 2013

90 Novel product considerations Use pharmaceutical development studies to supplement clinical trial information: Pharmaceutical development advantages Know what your product and process can tolerate Understand how various parameters influence product quality Knowing and not guessing, what s important to patient safety and product quality Slide 90 PharmOut 2013

91 Legacy product considerations Design space is considered optional, but control strategy is not optional. Advantages Formal product and process knowledge Clear communication from product development through to manufacture of what impacts product and process quality Regulatory flexibility Disadvantages The cost of establishing a non compulsory item The payback is too difficult to quantify Slide 91 PharmOut 2013

92 ICH tripartite integration Q8 Q9 Q10 Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP) Clinicaland non clinical studies on drug substance Risk efforts to evaluate patientneeds and product risks Knowledge management; previous knowledge and experiments Slide 92 PharmOut 2013

93 ICH tripartite integration Q8 Q9 Q10 Process development Characterisation of process Design of Experiments (DoE) Determine failure modes Identify potential product parameters that impact quality Batch records Technical transfer Supplier identification and selection Slide 93 PharmOut 2013

96 Quality by Design Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

97 Quality by Design (QbD) A systematic approach to development that begins with predefined objectives and emphasizes product and process understanding and process control, based on sound science and quality risk management Slide 97 PharmOut 2013

98 QbD The company that fails is the company that comes to us and says Just tell us what to do and we will do it. The company that succeeds is the company that says to us Here is what we did and why we think it is appropriate.

100 Impact of Risk Slide 100 PharmOut 2013

101 The impact of Science ICH Tripartite Risk Quality Targeted Product Profiles QTPP Other documents Case studies PDA & FDA GMP s EU US FDA PIC/S ICH Q8, Q9 Q10 and Q11 Critical Quality Attributes (CQA) Critical Process Parameters CPP Design of experiments DOE Product Lifecycle QbD Design EU - Voluntary space Control EU - Mandatory strategy Slide 101 PharmOut 2013

102 Who is driving QbD? As we ve said many, many times, FDA Office of Generic Drugs expects QbDapplications starting January US FDA s Lawrence Yu, Deputy Director for science and chemistry in the You Office heard of Generic right, full Drugs implementation of QbDin January Slide 102 PharmOut 2013

103 Where does QbD start? QbD is a lifecycle concept FDA Process Validation -3 stages 1. Process Design = Quality by Design 2. Process Qualification 3. Continued Process Verification Slide 103 PharmOut 2013

104 What is QbD? The quality by design (QbD) principle can be simply stated as follows: Once a system has been tested to the extent that the test results are predictable, further testing can be replaced by establishing that the system was operating within a defined design space. Slide 104 PharmOut 2013

105 What is the goal? Focus of FDA PV Guideline Variable or variability- Mentioned 19 times Control- Mentioned 62 times Statistics- Mentioned 15 times Inputs and Outputs Slide 105 PharmOut 2013

106 FDA PV Stages Stage 1 Process Design: The commercial manufacturing process is defined during this stage based on knowledge gained through development and scale-up activities. Identify Variability Stage 2 Process Qualification: During this stage, the process design is evaluated to determine if the process is capable of reproducible commercial manufacturing. Control of Variability Stage 3 Continued Process Verification: Ongoing assurance is gained during routine production that the process remains in a state of control. [FDA Guidance for Industry Process Validation: General Principles and Practices, Jan 2011] Statistics Slide 106 PharmOut 2013

107 Design space 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 (ICH Q8). Slide 107 PharmOut 2013

108 Design space A design space can be dynamic and updated as knowledge and experience with the process are acquired. Operating within the design space is part of the control strategy. Design space is generally part of R&D and the risks associated with scale up must be identified and controlled. Slide 108 PharmOut 2013

109 Design space Consider the design space for a single unit operation i.eget participants to design an ideal packing line. Link to CQAs Upstream and downstream interfaces Slide 109 PharmOut 2013

110 Design space Slide 110 PharmOut 2013

111 Design space In developing design spaces for existing products, multivariate models can be used for retrospective evaluation of historical production data. The level of variability present in the historical data will influence the ability to develop a design space, and additional studies might be appropriate. Slide 111 PharmOut 2013

112 Design space Capturing development knowledge and understanding contributes to design space implementation and continual improvement. Slide 112 PharmOut 2013

141 Control Strategy Planned set of controls, derived from current product and process understanding that assures process performance and product quality A control strategy can include, but is not limited to the following: Material attributes (raw materials, starting materials, intermediates, reagents, primary packaging materials) Controls are implicit in the design of the manufacturing process In-process controls Controls on drug substance Slide 141 PharmOut 2013

142 Control Strategy Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

143 Control strategy A planned set of controls, derived from current product and process understanding that ensures process performance and product quality. The controls can include parameters and attributes related to drug substance and drug product materials and components, facility and equipment operating conditions, inprocess controls, finished product specifications, and the associated methods and frequency of monitoring and control. (ICH Q10) Slide 143 PharmOut 2013

144 Control strategy Control strategies are designed to ensure product quality, consistently. Some considerations for control strategies include: In process controls Input material control Container closure controls Slide 144 PharmOut 2013

145 Control strategy The focus of control strategies must be, initially on critical process parameters. Remember, critical process parameters are translated from critical quality attributes. Critical process parameters must be measurable and quantifiable. Slide 145 PharmOut 2013

146 Control strategy The aims of pharmaceutical development are to minimise sources of variability and to build knowledge of product and process. Understanding your product, process and variables facilitates the development of adequate control strategies. Slide 146 PharmOut 2013

147 Control strategy Risk transfer is an appropriate control strategy: Can you implement controls at another stage of the process? Is there an opportunity to minimise the reliance on end product testing? Slide 147 PharmOut 2013

181 Quality by Design considerations Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

182 Quality by Design Establishing quality by design can take many different forms: Consider single or multi-variate analysis Usually some time of experimentation will feature to establish product and process tolerances Slide 182 PharmOut 2013

183 Design of Experiments (DoE) Quality Risk Management recognises that formal efforts are not always appropriate and that informal justifications can provide adequate information. Consider a summary table of factors and ranges reviewed and the conclusions drawn Slide 183 PharmOut 2013

184 Design of Experiments (DoE) DoE can be utilised to establish design space considerations: What was the criteria used to select variables? How were ranges for the variables established? The interaction of variables may also need careful attention Slide 184 PharmOut 2013

185 Design of Experiments (DoE) Raw material variability may have an impact on DoE. The handover of information from process development to commercial manufacture may include raw material suppliers Slide 185 PharmOut 2013

186 Design of Experiments (DoE) Constants: Listing of the parameters that would be kept constant during the DoEsand their respective values, including predictions on the impact of scale on these parameters Slide 186 PharmOut 2013

187 Design of Experiments (DoE) The type of experimental design: People may use predictive models to anticipate outcomes Models can provide great value but the models chosen must be analysed and evaluated for potential weaknesses in data Slide 187 PharmOut 2013

188 Design of Experiments (DoE) Scale dependant factors: Scale up is a great source of variability for any process and the control of scale up work and the impact of scale up must be adequately managed Slide 188 PharmOut 2013

189 Design of Experiments (DoE) Results and statistical analysis of DoE data showing the statistical significance of the factors and their interactions, including predictions made from DoE studies relevant to scale and equipment differences Considerations need to include statistically significant data sizes Multiplication and extrapolation of data is complex and may demand subject matter expertise Slide 189 PharmOut 2013

190 Design of Experiments (DoE) For organisations with QMS, design of experiments should be based on data: Perform an analysis on the available data Allow the date to guide your single variate and multi-variate experiments Slide 190 PharmOut 2013

191 Process Capability Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

192 Process Capability Medicinal products are consistentlyproduced and controlledto the quality standards appropriateto their intended use and as required by the marketing authorisation or product specification. Slide 192 PharmOut 2013

193 A Capable Process? Sufficient knowledge & understanding about critical product and process parameters and quality attributes Control Strategy in place Process in a State of Control Knowledge & understanding gained over time Continued Process Verification Process Design Process Qualification Slide 193 PharmOut 2013

194 US FDA stance on Process Capability We recommend that a statistician or person with adequate training in statistical process control techniques develop the data collection plan and statistical methods and procedures used in measuring and evaluating process stability and process capability. Slide 194 PharmOut 2013

195 US FDA stance Production data should be collected to evaluate process stabilityand capability. If properly carried out, these efforts can identify variabilityin the process and/or signal potential process improvements. Both quality and business benefits Slide 195 PharmOut 2013

196 Process Capability Two Assumptions: The process is in statistical control. The distribution of the process considered is Normal. Sources of variation well understood and detectable The impact of variation on the process and on product attributes clearly defined The variation must be controlledin a manner commensurate with the riskit represents to the process and product Slide 196 PharmOut 2013

197 What is normal? Normal distributions are symmetrical with a single central peak at the mean (average) of the data. The shape of the curve is described asbell-shaped (Gaussian)with the graph falling off evenly on either side of the mean. 50% of the distribution lies to the left of the mean and 50% lies to the right of the mean. Slide 197 PharmOut 2013

198 Normal distribution Area under the curve =100% ~68% of the area falls within 1 StDev. ~ 95% of the area falls within 2 StDev. ~ 99.7% of the area falls within 3 StDev. Slide 198 PharmOut 2013

199 Process Capability Analysis Process capability analysis compares the performance of a process against its specifications. Two parts of Process Capability: 1) Measure the variability of the output of a process 2) Compare that variability to its specification (USL and LSL) Slide 199 PharmOut 2013

200 Process Capability Index Process Capability IndexorProcess Capability Ratiois a statistical measure ofprocess capability: the ability of a process to produce output within specification limits. Process capability indices measure how much"natural variation"a process experiences relative to its specification limits and allows different processes to be compared with respect to how well they are controlled. There are several statistics that can be used to measure the capability of a process. We will look at Cpand Cpk. Generally, need 50 independent data values. Slide 200 PharmOut 2013

201 Process Capability Index (Cp) Cp= Estimates what the process is capable of producing if the process mean were to be centred between the specification limits. Assumes process output is approximately normally distributed Slide 201 PharmOut 2013

202 Process Capability Index (Cpk) Cpk= Estimates what the process is capable of producing, considering that the process mean may not be centred between the specification limits (2-sided specification) Slide 202 PharmOut 2013

203 Process Capability Indices If group of darts off the bullseye, but grouped tightly= good Cp, or good process capability, but not good Cpk. If the group of darts are closer to the bullseye, that is good Cpk. If Cp=Cpkthe process is centred at the midpoint of the specification limits. If Cp>Cpk the process is off-centre. Slide 203 PharmOut 2013

204 Process in control & capable? Need to evaluate overall process variation over time Slide 204 PharmOut 2013

205 A more realistic process Intra and inter batch variation over time Slide 205 PharmOut 2013

206 Special Cause Variation Slide 206 PharmOut 2013

207 Data analysis Control Charts used to assess whether or not a process is in statistical control These charts (e.g. Xbar R, Xbar-S, I-MR) are sensitive to detecting shifts in the process. Numerous statistical packages (standalone and embedded in automation software) that assist with these calculations If the Normal distribution assumption is not appropriate, yet capability indices are recorded, one may seriously misrepresent the true capability of a process. Slide 207 PharmOut 2013

208 Data gathering Select the critical parameters to measure Understand the sources of variation and their magnitudes-special or common cause? Collect the correct data-needs to be reliable source, to the correct number of significant digits and in the correct time order Clear procedures and instructions in place-a systematic procedure for determining the capability of the process Slide 208 PharmOut 2013

209 Process Capability Analysis-Minitab Slide 209 PharmOut 2013

210 Process Capability Analysis-Minitab Anderson-Darling (AD) Normality test shows that data does not follow a Normal distribution. This is due to the fact that the p-value for the A-D test is <0.005 Reason for data shift? Outlier? Slide 210 PharmOut 2013

211 Process Capability Analysis-Minitab Histogram indicates spread of data and the USL and LSL In this case, all samples met specification, but if the target is a result of 99, the process is running high. May drift above USL in future? A number of results could be outliers and may prompt an investigation? Results close to the USL Slide 211 PharmOut 2013

212 Process Capability Analysis-Minitab Cpof 1.56 indicates that the data is within the LSL and USL Cpkof 0.62 indicates that the process is not centred or off target The plot also shows that the process is off-target Within and Overall results shown Slide 212 PharmOut 2013

213 Process Capability Analysis-Minitab Xbar-R or Xbar-S charts are used when data is collected in subgroups. Individuals and Moving Range (I-MR) chart is used when there are no subgroups. The I chart is sensitive to non-normal data. The moving range (MR) chart shows variability between one data point and the next. Reason for data shift? Outlier? Slide 213 PharmOut 2013

266 NAB Slide 266 PharmOut 2013

267 Risk Magazine, September 2010 David Lewis, who headed the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority s (APRA s) probe, said as the investigation unfolded it became clear that the problems were not confined to the trading desk. During our investigation, we interviewed a lot of people involved including the four traders, he said. The traders were young; highly motivated; and very gung-ho as traders tend to be. One thing became clear immediately: they didn t think that they had done anything wrong. They didn t think that they were stealing anything; they thought it was their job to make money for the bank and in their minds this is what they were doing. Yes, they knew that they were breaking the bank s rules. But, to them, these were just bureaucracy that got in the way of what the bank really expected them to do. Slide 267 PharmOut 2013

268 Risk Magazine, September 2010 Lewis added that the investigation revealed widespread issues within NAB, despite sophisticated controls system, and most were connected with cultural and human elements, as opposed to system breakdowns. Despite several probes, NAB s internal audit department was warned off when it queried what was happening on the FX options desk. Internal auditors were told the traders were untouchable. Meanwhile, risk managers failed to properly challenge the traders and the executive risk Committees managed to miss the early warning signs of the coming scandal, despite regular breaches of daily excess limits being reported. Most seriously, Lewis said, the organisational culture at the bank was a far cry from its stated Policy and procedure. Slide 268 PharmOut 2013

278 Intended use The intended use/intended purpose and any reasonably foreseeable misuse of the medical device must be considered Slide 278 PharmOut 2013

279 Risk Management Process The risk management process must be documented. One challenge for manufacturers is how to establish the risk reports and risk management files: what rationale will be used to set up the system? Where a documented design and development process exists, appropriate parts of the risk management processes must be included Slide 279 PharmOut 2013

280 Compliance Compliance is verified by inspection of the risk management file. The risk management file is a set of records and other documents, that are produced by a risk management process Slide 280 PharmOut 2013

281 Management Responsibilities Define a risk management policy Ensure the provision of adequate resources and the assignment of trained personnel Review risk management activities regularly to ensure continuing suitability and the effectiveness of the process Document the process Maintain the risk management file Slide 281 PharmOut 2013

282 Qualification of Personnel The manufacturer s risk management personnel must have the knowledge and experience appropriate to the tasks assigned to them This shall include, where appropriate: knowledge and experience of the medical device knowledge and experience with risk management techniques Slide 282 PharmOut 2013

283 Risk Management Plan The risk management plan shall be part of the risk management file and needs to include: The plan scope, identifying and describing the medical device and the life cycle phases for which the plan applies A verification plan Assignment of responsibilities Requirements for review of risk management activities Criteria for risk acceptability (guidelines in Annex E) Change management Slide 283 PharmOut 2013

284 Justification Quality risk management is not exclusively a quantitative process. Risk justifications are critical and must be adequately structured and supported by evidence Slide 284 PharmOut 2013

285 Intended use of the medical device For the particular medical device being considered, the manufacturer shall describe the intended use/intended purpose and any reasonably foreseeable misuse Slide 285 PharmOut 2013

286 Intended use of the medical device The manufacturer shall list all those qualitative and quantitative characteristics that could affect the safety of the medical device and, where appropriate, their defined limits Slide 286 PharmOut 2013

287 Post production Risk management is an ongoing process and requires the ongoing capture and analysis of knowledge Slide 287 PharmOut 2013

288 Competition and regulation Need to focus skilled resources where risks to patient safety are highest Do more with less Maximise resource effectiveness Slide 288 PharmOut 2013

289 Competition and regulation A thorough understanding of business processes and Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) is essential Risk management methodologies Different methodologies may be more applicable throughout the product lifecycle The result should be the ability to better prioritise your work Slide 289 PharmOut 2013

290 How do we practically use this risk based approach? Dr. H. Gregg Claycamp Director, Division of Compliance Risk Management and Surveillance, FDA, CDER Office of Compliance. There is no magic bullet! It is a multi disciplinary team applying an agreed methodology, making an educated and experienced judgement and then seeking ways to mitigate the risk.

294 Regulators and Quality Risk Management Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

295 Regulators and risk management What can go wrong? Identify and clarify the events considered undesirable Why? Qualify or quantify the likelihood and consequence of the risk What can be done? Evaluate each risk and decide if they are acceptable or require action Slide 295 PharmOut 2013

296 Regulators and risk management Risk Management is the overall and continuing process of risk minimisation through a product s lifecycle to optimise the benefit/risk balance... Risk information continuously emerges. Slide 296 PharmOut 2013

297 Australian TGA -Risk management approach for GMP ratings of manufacturers Consider the type of products manufactured High Medium Low Manufacturer of sterile medicines Manufacturer of OTCs Manufacturer of vitamins Slide 297 PharmOut 2013

303 QRM and regulators All manufacturing authorisation holders... must have a system for QRM. Inspectors will review the QRM system as part of the Quality System section of the inspection. (GMP Frequently Asked Questions, MHRA, UK, June 2010) It is critical that a robust quality system incorporate a scientific and risk based approach. (Pre-approval Inspections Guidance Manual, US FDA, Dec 2010) Slide 303 PharmOut 2013

304 QRM and regulators The concept of QA, GMP, QC & QRM are interrelated aspects of quality management & should be the responsibility of all personnel. (WHO GMP for pharmaceutical products, main principles, 2011) Slide 304 PharmOut 2013

305 QRM and regulators What do PIC/S regulators expect regarding QRM? A documented procedure/plan for Quality Risk Management. Application of QRM to all relevant areas, including key QA activities and manufacturing steps. Integration of QRM into normal business systems. Use of systematic approaches, relevant scientific knowledge and expertise in risk assessment, evaluation and mitigation. Documented QRM processes. QRM must be reviewed on a periodic basis. Slide 305 PharmOut 2013

306 QRM and regulators That the approach and documentation should be commensurate with the complexity and criticality of the system. The evaluation of risk to quality is based on scientific knowledge, experience with the process and ultimately links to the protection of the patient. Slide 306 PharmOut 2013

307 Audit observations relevant to QRM 1. There were no formal SOPs for QRM and impact assessment. 2. The SOP relating to QRM did not provide specific information about how QRM was to be performed and implemented. 3. The SOP for QRM did not include coverage of supplier qualification, deviation management, complaints and defects. 4. There was no risk register to facilitate the management, monitoring and review of formal risk assessments. Slide 307 PharmOut 2013

308 Historic use of risk based approaches Quasi-risk based approach: Lack of formalisation Process lacks acceptance criteria, therefore companies err on the side of caution QA is the most basic form of risk management Slide 308 PharmOut 2013

309 Historic use of risk based approaches Previously a quasi-risk based approach was relied on where Quality Control was seen as the last line of defence (or a catch all) for quality issues Previous systems would not be formalised and would lack acceptance criteria. This forces organisations to err on the side of caution Slide 309 PharmOut 2013

310 Tried and true methods We are using risk management to an extent: Implementation is too often informal Stand alone system not integrated into the QMS Slide 310 PharmOut 2013

311 Quality Risk Management Multidisciplinary teams Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

312 What makes the ideal team? Slide 312 PharmOut 2013

313 Multi disciplinary teams Ensure you consider different people with different skill sets and different personalities to your own QRM is a mechanism to allow different people to contribute to a process The QRM policy and process must be structured Establishing criteria allows for clear decision making and transparency Slide 313 PharmOut 2013

314 Multi disciplinary teams Uncertainty The QRM process should identify areas of uncertainty and the response should be to further investigate uncertainty Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) Use your SMEs wisely Be sure to detail what qualifies someone as an SME Slide 314 PharmOut 2013

315 Multi disciplinary teams Use your SMEs wisely Approach 1 Use your SMEs to develop a process flow for the process under review Use your SMEs to identify and detail risk scenarios Use a team to quantify risk scenarios Utilise a team to establish control strategies Slide 315 PharmOut 2013

316 Multi disciplinary teams Approach 2 Use a team to develop a process flow for the process under review Use a team to identify and detail risk scenarios Use your SME to quantify risk scenarios Slide 316 PharmOut 2013

317 Multi disciplinary teams Approach 3 Use an expert facilitator Use your team and SME to review the process, detail risk scenarios and quantify risks Slide 317 PharmOut 2013

318 Multi disciplinary teams Be sure to detail what qualifies someone as an SME Slide 318 PharmOut 2013

319 Multi disciplinary teams Experience with the process refers to: Experience with the process under review Experience with the risk management process Slide 319 PharmOut 2013

320 Multi disciplinary teams Document the people involved in any risk effort This provides greater transparency in decision making Qualify your SMEs Will you require a certain number of years experience? Will you require a technical competence? Justify the selection of SMEs Slide 320 PharmOut 2013

321 Multi disciplinary teams When establishing your team be sure that the experts from relevant areas are included. Build risk management as a formal competence within your organisation. This will allow a group of QRM experts to coordinate the activities and call upon SMEs as needed Slide 321 PharmOut 2013

322 Multi disciplinary teams Ensure responsibility for coordinating quality risk management across various functions and departments of the organisation is detailed and performed As your QRM database grows you will need systems capable of supporting your business needs and making the risk knowledge easily accessible to all users Slide 322 PharmOut 2013

323 Activity 7 Integration of QRM into QMS Establish a risk based strategy for the following QMS components: Product quality review Premises and equipment Documentation Training Contract manufacture and analysis Deviation management Change management Corrective Action and Preventive Action Complaints handling Auditing (internal/external) WB 7/ 180 mins Slide 323 PharmOut 2013

324 Risk Justifications Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

325 Risk justifications and reports ICH Q9, 2005 Slide 325 PharmOut 2013

326 Risk justifications and reports Quality risk management is not about justifying non-compliance, it is about effective communication of hazards and the associated control strategies Slide 326 PharmOut 2013

327 Risk justifications and reports Every risk effort demands a written report and justification of findings and outcomes. Empirical models are always recommended. Not all risk efforts will be formal in their structure and approach. Slide 327 PharmOut 2013

328 Risk justifications and reports The requirements of chapter 4 of the code of GMP apply: Quality risk management demands that risk policies and procedures are in place Establish a framework for risk efforts so people focus on the process under review Slide 328 PharmOut 2013

329 Risk justifications and reports The high level policies and procedures need to: Demonstrate management commitment and an overall approach to risk management Detail risk acceptance criteria Detail responsibilities for the process and the selection of people involved Slide 329 PharmOut 2013

330 Risk justifications and reports continued The high level policies and procedures need to: Detail the process for responding to the outcomes of risk management Establish communication strategies for risk outcomes Ensure that quality risk management is integrated into the quality management systems Slide 330 PharmOut 2013

331 Risk justifications and reports What will be the focus of discussions in your risk reports? Sometimes high risk items are exclusively discussed, this approach may come under regulatory scrutiny The discussion of all risk findings is an emerging trend The risk criteria utilised may be different for different processes under review Slide 331 PharmOut 2013

332 Risk justifications and reports continued What will be the focus of discussions in your risk reports? For example a preliminary hazard analysis will focus on GxPcriteria where other efforts may detail more specific criteria Ensure that the risk report adequately cross references the quantitative risk findings and any supporting evidence Slide 332 PharmOut 2013

333 Project specific approach Your risk management process needs to allow for a project specific approach and the ongoing implementation of a risk based methodology into the quality management systems Slide 333 PharmOut 2013

334 Project approach Project approach Slide 334 PharmOut 2013

335 Ongoing routine approach All quality management systems must integrate a risk based approach The supporting documentation should allow for this inclusion and ensure risk outcomes are effectively documented Slide 335 PharmOut 2013

336 What to watch out for A lack of evidence to support risk based decisions and outcomes Unjustified assumptions Incomplete identification and relevant resources Sometimes risk efforts will highlight a lack of knowledge and you will need to respond to this lack of knowledge Clearly denote your assumptions and justify the assumptions This demonstrates a lack of management commitment and an inability to effectively identify risk will result in an incomplete risk effort Slide 336 PharmOut 2013

337 Risk registers Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

338 Risk registers The risk management process is dynamic and as knowledge is acquired, this must be fed back into the risk management system. Some systems that may trigger a risk review Complaints Deviations and non-conformances Change management Product quality reviews Essentially, any new information may trigger a risk review Slide 338 PharmOut 2013

339 Risk registers The risk register may be treated as a catalogue of risk documentation. A catalogue should be searchable and kept up to date With so many potential inputs your risk registers need to be readily accessed and reviewed Slide 339 PharmOut 2013

340 Risk registers The risk register you establish must support your approach. Some questions you will need to answer Will the risk register be product based, process based or department specific? How will you collate the information and ensure the registers continually cross reference? How will you streamline your quality risk management efforts Slide 340 PharmOut 2013

341 Streamlining your efforts Understand the products and processes within your organisation and establish a suitable mechanism for grouping. For example, where you are manufacturing a product with different API strength, which product can be chosen as representative and provide a justification for this Slide 341 PharmOut 2013

342 Streamlining your efforts Instead of performing multiple product quality reviews, you may be able to focus on certain products within the range Consider the manufacture process and formulation Consider the equipment train Consider the route and mechanisms of transport Slide 342 PharmOut 2013

343 Risk management models Presented by John Montalto 13 May, 2013

344 The two stages of risk management Impact assessment/preliminary hazard analysis High level determination of GxP impact This is arguably the most critical part of risk management Targeted risk management effort Focus effort on process or component using a recognised risk model Slide 344 PharmOut 2013

345 Impact Assessment Components Critical Non-Critical Direct Impact Systems Indirect / No Impact Not Possible Design for Impact GEP only GEP + Qualification Slide 345 PharmOut 2013

346 Preliminary hazard analysis This analysis should take an overall approach to a process and identify areas and components that require a more detailed review. The justifications of preliminary hazard outcomes must be afforded attention Use a more general criteria, for example, patient safety, product quality to determine what to review in more detail Slide 346 PharmOut 2013

347 Severity Opportunity Detection Severity The impact of the hazard Opportunity The likelihood that the hazard occurs Detection The ability to detect the hazard before it occurs Slide 347 PharmOut 2013

348 3x3 model (traffic light model) Slide 348 PharmOut 2013

349 The traffic light model This model gives an immediate sense of risk and can be readily understood. This model is recommended for organisations that are inexperienced with risk management As experience with risk management increases then this model may be superseded There is a greater likelihood to categorise hazards as high The model does not consider root causes of hazards Slide 349 PharmOut 2013

350 A 5x5 model Consequence Likelihood Negligible (4) Inconvenience Temporary issue Minor (3) Minor injury - may or may not require medical attention Critical/Major (2) Serious injury requiring medical attention. Possible permanent impairment or life threatening injury Catastrophic (1) Loss of Life or limb severe permanent damage Improbable (A) not expected to occur Unlikely (B) not expected to happen, but is possible Occasional (C) could occur in some circumstances Probable (D) is expected to occur in most circumstances Frequent (E) will occur on every occasion LOW LOW MEDIUM MEDIUM LOW LOW MEDIUM HIGH LOW MEDIUM HIGH HIGH LOW MEDIUM HIGH HIGH MEDIUM MEDIUM HIGH HIGH Slide 350 PharmOut 2013

351 A 5x5 model The model presentedgives an immediate sense of risk and can be readily understood The disadvantage of this model is that no consideration of detection is factored in Slide 351 PharmOut 2013

352 10x10 model severity likelihood Detection (considering current control s only) 10 Death,serious permanent injury 9 Serious permanent injury Very high, almost certain (1 in 2) Very high, almost certain (1 in 3) Almost impossible Very remote 8 Verysevere High (1 in 10) Remote 7 Severe High (1 in 20) Very low 6 Moderate Moderate (1 in 80) Low 5 Low Moderate (1 in 500) Moderate 4 Very low Moderate (1 in 2500) High 3 Minor Low (1 in 20000) High 2 Insignificant Very low (1 in ) Very high 1 None Unlikely(1 in ) Almost certain Slide 352 PharmOut 2013

353 10x10 model This model is suited for organisations with significant risk management experience. This model almost demands an independent facilitator Too much time can be devoted to disputes that will have very little effect on the overall hazard score Your discussions should not be about extremes in risk scores Slide 353 PharmOut 2013

354 Risk management techniques Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Impact assessment Is there an impact on patient safety, product quality or a business process? GxP impact Slide 354 PharmOut 2013

355 Risk management techniques Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Focuses on finding weaknesses early in the life of a system Another risk management tool may be used after this process This model considers pervious experience with a process This analysis usually leads to more detailed risk efforts Slide 355 PharmOut 2013

356 Risk management techniques Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Likelihood and possibilities Qualitative evaluation Ranking based on severity and likelihood Identify controls and strategies Slide 356 PharmOut 2013

357 Risk management techniques Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Top down approach where the top is an undesirable event Step by step analysis of the next lower functional system level When at the root cause level, implement remediation Slide 357 PharmOut 2013

358 Risk management techniques Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) This analysis provides opportunities to identify causal flows Without previous knowledge of a process, or a subject matter expert this process will not work effectively Because this model is useful in identifying multiple causal factors it is very effective for investigating deviations and complaints Slide 358 PharmOut 2013

359 Risk management techniques Hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) This model works well where there is significant product and process knowledge The ongoing focus of this model is on the effectiveness of monitoring and the control strategies Slide 359 PharmOut 2013

360 Risk management techniques Hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) Step Process 1 Conduct hazard analysis and identify existing controls 2 Determine critical control points 3 Establish critical limits 4 Monitor the critical control points 5 Establish correctiveactions based on monitoring and feedback 6 Establish a verification and feedback system 7 Document and formalise the process Slide 360 PharmOut 2013

361 Risk management techniques Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study This model is useful to review a process as opposed to a machine The main assumption is that risk events are caused by variations from the design/operating intentions This model is not appropriate for novel systems Slide 361 PharmOut 2013

362 Risk management techniques Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) This model is one of the more commonly used models Within an FMEA framework there is some consideration given to root cause analysis of hazards To identify potential process failure modes and their likely effect on product performance Used to prioritise risks and monitor the effectiveness of risk controls Applied to equipment, facilities and processes Slide 362 PharmOut 2013

363 Risk management techniques Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) The consequences of a fault mode are identified and evaluated what happens if...? A single fault condition is reviewed at a time Bottom up approach Slide 363 PharmOut 2013
