Approved drug products may be subject to change(s) for a variety of reasons. The changes may include, but are not limited to, increase in batch size, alteration of the drug product constituent(s), improvement in the manufacturing process, and shift in manufacturing sites. The extent of pharmaceutical testing and the regulatory pathway for timely implementation of any change in the approved product and/or process depends upon the nature and extent of change. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published guidelines that outline its expectations for the Scale-Up and Postapproval Changes (SUPAC) in the solid oral immediate and modified release (MR) products, and semisolid formulations. However, to date, no such guidelines have been issued to address SUPAC in the orally inhaled drug products (OIDPs), and this article represents a seminal contribution in this direction. It is hoped that it will inspire contributions from the relevant multidisciplinary experts from the pharmaceutical industry and the agency in accomplishing formal regulatory guidelines relevant to the OIDP SUPAC. The OIDPs are complex drug-device combination products. Therefore, a conceptualization of SUPAC guidelines for these products warrants consideration of contributions of effect of change(s) in individual components (drug substance, formulation, device) as well as a compound effect that a single or multiple changes may have on product performance, and its safety and efficacy. This article provides a discussion of scientific aspects and regulatory bases relevant to the development of SUPAC for OIDPs, and it attempts to outline considerations that may be applicable in addressing issues related to the OIDP SUPAC in the context of human drugs. The authors' statements should not be viewed as recommendations from any regulatory agency, as the applicable guidelines would be determined on case-by-case evaluation by the relevant authorities.
已批准的药品可能因多种原因而发生变化。这些变化可能包括但不限于批量增加、药品成分改变、生产工艺改进以及生产场地变更。药品测试的范围以及及时实施已批准产品和/或工艺中任何变更的监管途径取决于变更的性质和程度。美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)已发布指南,概述了其对固体口服速释和缓释(MR)产品以及半固体制剂扩大规模和批准后变更(SUPAC)的期望。然而,迄今为止,尚未发布此类指南来解决吸入式药品(OIDP)的SUPAC问题,本文在此方向上做出了开创性贡献。希望它能激发制药行业和该机构相关多学科专家的贡献,以完成与OIDP SUPAC相关的正式监管指南。OIDP是复杂的药物-器械组合产品。因此,针对这些产品的SUPAC指南的概念化需要考虑单个组件(原料药、制剂、器械)变更的影响以及单一或多个变更可能对产品性能及其安全性和有效性产生的复合影响。本文讨论了与OIDP的SUPAC开发相关的科学方面和监管依据,并试图概述在人类药物背景下可能适用于解决与OIDP SUPAC相关问题的考虑因素。作者的陈述不应被视为任何监管机构的建议,因为适用的指南将由相关当局根据具体情况进行评估来确定。
