Quote from Chief Pharmacist on November 13, 2024, 9:34 amIn general, “significant change” for a drug product is defined as:
- A 5% change in assay from its initial value; or failure to meet the acceptance criteria for potency when using biological or immunological procedures;
- Any degradation product’s exceeding its acceptance criterion;
- Failure to meet the acceptance criteria for appearance, physical attributes, and functionality test (e.g., color, phase separation, resuspendibility, caking, hardness, dose delivery per actuation); however, some changes in physical attributes (e.g., softening of suppositories, melting of creams) may be expected under accelerated conditions; and, as appropriate for the dosage form:
- Failure to meet the acceptance criterion for pH; or
- Failure to meet the acceptance criteria for dissolution for 12 dosage units.
