The quality mantra 
“Quality can not be tested into 
products; it has to be built in 
by design”
How can we modernize our industry? 
More knowledge of our products and processes, 
allowing better design and more control 
Better management: 
- introduction of quality risk management 
- expansion of GMP to more extensive 
pharmaceutical quality system

Definition: Quality by Design 
Quality by Design is 
 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.

Step 1. 
Agree on the Target Product Profile 
Target Product Profile: 
- a prospective and dynamic 
summary of the quality 
characteristics of a drug 
product 
- that ideally will be achieved to 
ensure that the desired 
quality, and hence the 
safety and efficacy, of a drug 
product is realised. 
The TPP forms the basis of design 
of the product. 
Consider: 
 dosage form 
 route of administration 
 strength 
 release / delivery of the drug 
 pharmacokinetic characteristics 
(e.g., dissolution; aerodynamic 
performance) 
 drug product quality criteria 
(e.g., sterility, purity).

CRITICAL QUALITY ATTRIBUTES 
Slide 22 May 2008 
- definition 
A critical quality attribute (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. 
EMEA/CHMP/ICH/518819/2007
Step 2. Determine the Critical Quality 
Drug product CQAs are used to guide the 
product and process development. 
Slide 23 May 2008 
Attributes (CQAs) 
solid oral dosage 
forms: 
typically those 
aspects affecting 
- product purity 
- product potency 
- product stability 
- drug release. 
 other delivery systems: 
 can additionally include more 
product specific aspects, 
such as 
- aerodynamic 
properties for inhaled 
products 
- sterility for parenterals, 
- adhesive force for 
transdermal patches.

Definition of Design Space 
The material attributes and process parameters that 
assure quality. 
The multidimensional combination

demonstrated to provide assurance 
of quality.

Step 5. Define the Control Strategy 
The control strategy should describe and justify how 
in-process controls and 
the controls of 
- input materials 
(drug substance and excipients), 
- container closure system, 
- intermediates and 
the controls of end products 
contribute to the final product quality 
Slide 36 May 2008
Slide 37 May 2008 
5. CONTROL STRATEGY 
Elements of a control strategy can include, but are not limited to, the 
following: 
• Control of input material attributes (e.g., drug substance, adhesive 
polymer, primary packaging materials) based on an understanding 
of their impact on processability or product quality 
• Product specification(s) 
• Controls for unit operations that have an impact on downstream 
processing or end-product quality (e.g., the impact of solvent on 
degradation) 
• In-process or real-time release in lieu of end-product testing 
• A monitoring program (e.g., full product testing at regular intervals) 
for verifying multivariate prediction models.

    Step 5. Definethe Control Strategy The control strategy should describe and justify how in-process controls and the controls of - input materials (drug substance and excipients), - container closure system, - intermediates and the controls of end products contribute to the final product quality Slide 36 May 2008

    Slide 37 May2008 5. CONTROL STRATEGY Elements of a control strategy can include, but are not limited to, the following: • Control of input material attributes (e.g., drug substance, adhesive polymer, primary packaging materials) based on an understanding of their impact on processability or product quality • Product specification(s) • Controls for unit operations that have an impact on downstream processing or end-product quality (e.g., the impact of solvent on degradation) • In-process or real-time release in lieu of end-product testing • A monitoring program (e.g., full product testing at regular intervals) for verifying multivariate prediction models.
