slide1. ICH
Purpose, participants, process of harmonization, Brief overview of QSEM, with special emphasis on Q-series guidelines, ICH stability testing guidelines INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR HARMONIZATION<br>
slide2. ICH Guidelines : Inception 1990 International council for harmonization, earlier Conference
Technical requirement for pharmaceuticals for human use
Step to bring regulatory authorities & Pharmaceutical Industry to discuss scientific & technical aspects of drug registration
Mission of ICH: To achieve greater harmonization worldwide to ensure safe, effective, high quality medicines are developed/registered in most resource & effective manner<br>
slide3. PURPOSE OF ICH GUIDELINES Registration & maintenance of Pharmaceutical product registration
To have dialogues on scientific issues b/w regulatory authorities & Pharmaceutical Industry for harmonization of technical requirements of Pharm. product
Contribute to public health
Monitor & update harmonized technical requirements, leads to mutual acceptance of R& D data
To avoid various future requirements through harmonization of selected topics
Facilitate adoption of new or improved technical R&D approaches, replacing or updating current practices<br>
slide4. Implementation & integration of common standards by dissemination of the communication of information about and coordination of training on harmonized guidelines & their use
To develop policy for ICH medical dictionary for regulatory activities terminology (MedDRA)- share regulatory information internationally for medicinal products
Process of harmonization: 4 categories
Formal ICH procedure
Q & A procedure
Revision procedure
Maintenance procedure<br>
slide5. Business plan outlines includes costs & benefits of harmonizing topic proposed by concept paper<br>
slide6. 4 Categories of ICH topics<br>

slide15. Special emphasis on Q series<br>
slide16. Variety of Env. factors- affecting quality of drug
Stress testing: degradation products, intrinsic stability of molecule
Includes effect of temp in 10°C increment 50, 60 etc, humidity 75% RH or greater, oxidation, photolysis
Susceptibility to hydrolysis over wide pH range in solution/ suspension
Photostability testing described in Q1B
Frequency of testing: For long term studies: at least 12 months- every 3 month over first yr and every 6 months over second yr & annually thereafter
At accelerated storage condition minimum three time points including initial and final time points (0,6,9,12 months) from a 12 month study<br>
slide17. Storage conditions Test the thermal stability, sensitivity to moisture
During storage, shipment, subsequent use
General case:
3 primary batches- 12 month duration
Long term: 12 M- 25°C±2°C/60%RH ±5% RH or 30°C±2°C/65%RH ±5% RH
Intermediate: 6 months 30°C±2°C/65%RH ±5% RH
Accelerated: 40°C±2°C/75%RH ±5% RH
If long term studies show significant changes during 6 months- accelerated & intermediate studies to be done<br>
slide18. Storage in refrigerator
Long term: 5°C±3°C 12 months
Accelerated: 5°C±2°C/60% ±5 RH 6 months
If significant change: b/w 3-6 months- accelerated storage testing to be done
In a freezer:
Long term - 20°C±5°C 12 months
For below -20°C treat on case by case basis
Evaluation: if batch to batch variation is small, combine data in one overall estimate
Statement/ Labeling
Storage statement on label- based on stability evaluation Storage conditions<br>
