By Tim Freeman, Director of Operations, Freeman Technology
The potential benefits of Quality by Design, the approach enshrined in ICH Q8 - Pharmaceutical Development, include greater flexibility with respect to regulation, enhanced process efficiency, and better product understanding. While pharmaceutical manufacturers are keen to access these benefits, there remain some reservations. Of primary concern is the amount of additional development work needed to adequately scope process and product performance. Consequently there is a need to find cost- and time-effective ways of generating the required data.
