The seminar presentation introduced the concepts of quality and Quality by Design (QbD) in pharmaceutical development. It explained that QbD is a systematic approach that emphasizes product and process understanding through predefined objectives, process control, and quality risk management. The presentation covered key QbD elements like the target product quality profile, critical quality attributes, material attributes, process parameters, design space, control strategy, and risk assessment. It discussed how applying a QbD approach improves manufacturing quality performance and ensures safe, effective drug supply. The importance of QbD for formulation and development was highlighted through elements like quality target product profile, initial risk assessment, design development strategies, and scale-up from lab to commercial scale.
