25 May 2012 Basel, Switzerland. A philosophical exploration - Scientific understanding
and risk-based regulatory decisions on Quality by Design. How good are the scientific
explanations in regulatory submissions? Scientific explanations yield understanding; the
quality of explanations differs. What role can Chemometrics, Pharmacometrics, and
Econometrics play? Understanding multidisciplinary (cGMP, CMC, Clin. Pharm., Tox.,
Clinical, Public Health) perspectives on risk is essential. Opportunities are only when the
disciplinary divides are bridged. Within the regulatory realm, how we set specifications
and assess risk has progressed incrementally; at this rate, Vision 2020 may be expected to
be visible broadly over time by 2020.

Common sense needs to
be a common cause
• The current system for updating and correcting prior
knowledge (as in physicochemical attributes critical to
quality) continues to be neglected even for NTI drugs.
Physicochemical failure modes for Narrow Therapeutic
Index (NTI) drugs (europeanpharmaceuticalreview.com)
• The challenge at hand is a “common cause.” problem
which we treat as a “special cause” problem
• In this context, the scope of credible AI applications and
solutions to formulation development is severely limited
(for instance, to certain new developments and green
facilities),

Mind the integrity gaps in data and wisdom
• Decades have passed, and legacy knowledge gaps and errors persist. I am worried that we
are not giving enough importance to these gaps and mistakes and that suspicion of
breaches in data integrity [BAD-I] continues to create significant challenges in both
technical and social contexts.
• Let us consider a risk-assessed approach to “reset” to facilitate updating and correcting
prior knowledge locked in past submissions
• Let us focus on applications of AI to gain a holistic systems perspective on pharmaceutical
life cycles
• A common cause strategy that detects, corrects, and prevents fraud and provides a fair and
responsible way to balance maturity and securing humanity.
