                                              2
IMPORTANCE OF VALIDATION DOCUMENTS

•  Validation documents always requested in regulatory
   audits
•  Documentation is retained forever
•  Documents reviewed long after people are gone
   –  Documents must “stand alone”
•  Early documents (Request, Plan, Protocol) reviewed
   when project is in-progress or not completed
•  FDA auditors often focus on documentation – validation
   documents often requested ahead of audit

        Above sometimes difficult for technical people


                               3
SCOPE OF VALIDATION DOCUMENTS

FDA Process Validation Guidance has greatly expanded
  the scope of validation
•  Lifecycle approach – documents from development through
   commercialization
•  Traditional validation documents (protocol and results) less
   important
Validation organizations should lead sites in transition to
  lifecycle approach
•  Multiple groups at site must now contribute to process validation
   lifecycle approach documents
Lifecycle approach being applied to all validation and
   qualification (equipment, facilities, cleaning, etc.)

                                   4
VALIDATION DOCUMENTS -- BASICS
•    Written for the reader – US vs. Europe
•    Objective: Understanding
•    Clarity much more important than brevity
•    Stand-alone document
•    Potential for review in 10+ years
•    Author / Management not available for explanation
•    Spelling and grammar correct
      –  Need good writers
      –  Simple sentences
      –  Simple words


                               5
PROCESS VALIDATION DOCUMENTS
•    Validation policy – Reference PV Guidance approach
      –  Corporate templates
•    Validation Master Plan (VMP) – Reference PV Guidance approach
•    Stage 1 documents – Process Design
•    Stage 2 documents – Process Qualification
      –  Validation Request / Plan -- Reference PV Guidance
      –  Validation Protocol(s) – Reference PV Guidance
      –  Engineering Studies
      –  Others
      –  Validation Results / Report – Reference PV Guidance
•    Stage 3 documents – Continued Process Verification
      –  PQ requirements
      –  Routine monitoring – Reference PV Guidance
•    Associated validation and qualification -- Reference PV Guidance
•    Other associated documents

STAGE 1 DOCUMENTS -- PROCESS DESIGN

Technical areas must be aware that their documents are critical to
   validation throughout the product lifecycle.
•  Direct support of Stage 2 PQ – their work is basis of validation
•  R&D technical reports consistent with raw data
•  Rapidly retrieved (within 30 minutes)
•  Accessed throughout product lifecycle
•  Personal support of regulatory audits
•  Stand-alone documents
•  Applies to processes, cleaning, analytical, equipment, facilities,
   utilities, control systems, others.
    R&D / TECHNICAL AREAS NOT ACCUSTOMED TO THESE
             REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS

    –    Other systems or product impacted
    –    Procedure changes or other document changes
    –    Notifications to affected groups (internal, external, labs)
•  Validation plan -- Approach to accomplish validation

               Above applicable to equipment and other qualification

                                            17
VALIDATION REQUEST -- PROBLEMS

•  Poorly written
   –  Inadequate information
•  Prematurely written
   –  Written to meet business goals
   –  Written to demonstrate future intent
•  Amendments necessary -- changes usually required
Validation requests should be submitted for approval only
  after objective and scope of validation is determined and
  work details (risk/testing/sampling) determined.
Amendments are a planning failure regardless of
  justification.

PROCESS VALIDATION PROTOCOL (PPQ)
       FDA GUIDLINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Higher level of sampling, testing, and scrutiny of process performance.
Protocol should address:
•  Operating parameters, processing limits, and raw material inputs
•  Data to be collected and how evaluated
•  Test to be performed and acceptance criteria
•  Sampling plan – sampling points, number of samples, frequency
•  Statistical methods used
•  Statistical confidence levels
•  Provisions to address deviations and non-conformances
•  Facility, utility, and equipment qualification
•  Status of analytical method validation

•    Review and approval by appropriate departments and quality unit

Validation boot camp 2

  • 1. VALIDATION BOOT CAMP #2 LIFECYCLE APPROACH TO PHARMACEUTICAL VALIDATION – PRINCIPLES, IMPLEMENTATION, AND PRACTICE VALIDATION DOCUMENTATION Paul L. Pluta, PhD 1
  • 2. OUTLINE •  Validation Documents Overview •  Validation Policy Documents •  Stage 1 Process Design Documents •  Stage 2 Process Qualification Documents –  Validation Requests and Plans –  Validation Protocols –  Validation Results and Reports •  Stage 3 Continued Process Verification Documents •  Associated Documents •  Document Outlines / Templates •  Document Problems 2
  • 3. IMPORTANCE OF VALIDATION DOCUMENTS •  Validation documents always requested in regulatory audits •  Documentation is retained forever •  Documents reviewed long after people are gone –  Documents must “stand alone” •  Early documents (Request, Plan, Protocol) reviewed when project is in-progress or not completed •  FDA auditors often focus on documentation – validation documents often requested ahead of audit Above sometimes difficult for technical people 3
  • 4. SCOPE OF VALIDATION DOCUMENTS FDA Process Validation Guidance has greatly expanded the scope of validation •  Lifecycle approach – documents from development through commercialization •  Traditional validation documents (protocol and results) less important Validation organizations should lead sites in transition to lifecycle approach •  Multiple groups at site must now contribute to process validation lifecycle approach documents Lifecycle approach being applied to all validation and qualification (equipment, facilities, cleaning, etc.) 4
  • 5. VALIDATION DOCUMENTS -- BASICS •  Written for the reader – US vs. Europe •  Objective: Understanding •  Clarity much more important than brevity •  Stand-alone document •  Potential for review in 10+ years •  Author / Management not available for explanation •  Spelling and grammar correct –  Need good writers –  Simple sentences –  Simple words 5
  • 6. PROCESS VALIDATION DOCUMENTS •  Validation policy – Reference PV Guidance approach –  Corporate templates •  Validation Master Plan (VMP) – Reference PV Guidance approach •  Stage 1 documents – Process Design •  Stage 2 documents – Process Qualification –  Validation Request / Plan -- Reference PV Guidance –  Validation Protocol(s) – Reference PV Guidance –  Engineering Studies –  Others –  Validation Results / Report – Reference PV Guidance •  Stage 3 documents – Continued Process Verification –  PQ requirements –  Routine monitoring – Reference PV Guidance •  Associated validation and qualification -- Reference PV Guidance •  Other associated documents 6
