18. Pillar 1
Assessment of Risk to Quality by Establishing
Rules & Algorithms
Initial inherent product &
manufacturing risk
Failure Modes, Effect & Criticality
Analysis (FMECA) approach
Objectively & quantitatively assessed & rank risk associated
with failure modes of drug product design & manufacturing
19. Pillar 1
Assessment of Risk to Quality by Establishing
Rules & Algorithms
Product Risk
consider each critical drug product quality attribute
e.g. assay, potency, dissolution, purity, uniformity
20. Pillar 1
Assessment of Risk to Quality by Establishing
Rules & Algorithms
Manufacturing Risk
consider the impact of proposed material transformation steps on
the product quality attributes &
The potential risk involved with implementing the proposed
control strategy at the manufacturing site
21.
22.
23. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
Inherent Risk of Pillar 1 is controlled by
design of product and the use of patient focused
quality standards
24. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
Product Risk Control focuses
Drug substance characteristics & drug product design
understanding & control
25. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
DS Characteristics
Risk in therapeutic index, manufacturing complexity,
adequacy of control for identity, purity, stability &
quality
26. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
Product Risk Assessment
Product design, intended use, degree of product
understanding & product QC inherent to the CQAs
27. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
DP Design determines
Fit for intended use, meet patient needs & maintain its
performance through its proposed shelf life
28. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
Product understanding is the ability
to link input CMAs to output CQAs so that input
material attributes can be appropriately constrained to
control risk to the product quality (Yu et al., 2014)
29. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
KASA System
Capture knowledge and signals from noises across
application & facilities
30. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
Assessment to determine acceptability
Applicant specifications based on desired clinical
performance instead of process capability or
manufacturing process control
31. Pillar 2
Risk Control by assessing Product
Design/Understanding and Quality Standards
KASA System
Increase flexibility within pharmaceutical
manufacturing while continuing to maintain quality
32.
33.
34. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Manufacturing Risk Control focuses
Design & implementation of manufacturing process
35. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
All critical sources of common cause variability are identified &
explained
Mfg process is generally considered well
understood & controlled when
36. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Variability is managed by the process at all scales through successful
implementation of the control strategy
Mfg process is generally considered well
understood & controlled when
37. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Process performance & product quality attributes can be adequately
& reliably monitored & controlled (Yu et al., 2014)
Mfg process is generally considered well
understood & controlled when
38. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Facility risk control, or the implementation element of manufacturing
risk, focuses on the
manufacturer’s GMP status & ability to support the control and
continued performance of the operations.
39. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Determination of risk control leverages the demonstrated capabilities
of the manufacturing or testing facilities (as it relates to the proposed
manufacturing process)
40. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Evaluation of facility’s recent manufacturing history, experience of
the facility within the unit operations included in the application &
relevant quality signal for any similar already marketed product etc.
41. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Remaining risk is assessed by preapproval inspection and post
approval inspection to see reliability, accuracy of the submitted data
and ability to reproduce.
Objective standards are used to identify the need of inspection.
42. Pillar 3
Risk Control by assessing Mfg/Facility &
Performing Approval Inspections
Structured format i.e. CTD and submitted via electronic mode
