3 Overview Introduction FDA 1 Guidance of Process Validation Internal requirements for CPV CPV implementation at GSK (Marburg/Siena) Statistical methods used for CPV Control charts Change-point analysis Combined change-point / control chart / process capability analysis Summary References 1: US Food and Drug Administration : Continued Process Verification Novel data analysis method for CPV using CPA Statistical and Data Management Approaches for Biotechnology September 015 3

4 FDA Guidance for Process Validation An ongoing program to collect and analyze product and process data that relate to product quality must be established. [...] Production data should be collected to evaluate process stability and capability Process validation includes three stages: Stage 1 Process Design The commercial manufacturing process is defined based on knowledge gained through development and scale-up activities. Stage Process Qualification The original design is evaluated to determine if the process is capable of reproducible commercial manufacturing. Stage 3 Continued Process Verification Ongoing assurance is gained during routine production that the process remains in a state of control Novel data analysis method for CPV using CPA Statistical and Data Management Approaches for Biotechnology September 015 4

6 Continued Process Verification CPV process Risk analysis to identify critical process parameters Interpretation of results Required actions Data collection Ensure data integrity Data analysis e.g. control chart, change-point analysis, process capability Novel data analysis method for CPV using CPA Statistical and Data Management Approaches for Biotechnology September 015 6

7 Compiling Data Requirements by internal guidelines Starting a CPV program for legacy products: only output variables are assessed for stability and capability. Monitoring must include: Quality attributes Process yields Intra batch data (where possible) Complete CPV program must include output and input variables based on a risk assessment, especially including: Critical process parameters Critical IPC (in process control) data Critical raw material data Novel data analysis method for CPV using CPA Statistical and Data Management Approaches for Biotechnology September 015 7

8 Data Evaluation Requirements by internal guidelines Process stability and capability have to be assessed (e.g. by control charts, Cpk, Ppk) Special causes (OOE/OOT/OOS/OOCL) have to be investigated Process performance levels (good / acceptable / poor) must be defined according to process capability / process stability in order to facilitate decisions Novel data analysis method for CPV using CPA Statistical and Data Management Approaches for Biotechnology September 015 8

23 Change Point Analysis How does it work? Let X 1,, X n independent random variables with mean µ i and standard deviation σ. Change-point analysis for a single change-point tests the hypothesis that the mean of the random variables is constant until the end of the observed time period against the alternative that there is a change-point where the mean changes.

35 Change-Point Control Charts Defining action items Approach for trending meetings: Following events should at least be commented and might trigger an action item: Significant change-points with a difference of more than three standard deviations between maximum and minimum level A Ppk < 1 (separate analysis for each change-point level) (e.g. analysis of source of variability: process/measurement system). A result outside ± 3 standard deviations from the respective change-point level (possible action item: review of BPR). The decision whether an action item is defined has to be taken within regular trending meetings.
