Out of Trend (OOT)

OOT represents a result that, while within the specification limits, shows an unexpected trend or deviation compared to historical data or expected performance.

Example:

A stability study result shows a gradual decline in potency, which is not typical for the product’s historical trend, even though the result is within the acceptable range.

Implications:

Indicates a potential drift or gradual degradation that may signal a future OOS or quality concern. It requires an investigation to understand the cause and mitigate it.

Use Case:

Often used in stability studies, trending analysis, and process monitoring.
