Annual Product Review - WHAT

Directive Statement:An Annual Product Review must be conducted for

each commercial product. The purpose of this annual review is to verify the consistency of the process, to assess trends, to determine the need for changes in specification, production, manufacturing and/or control procedures and to evaluate the need for revalidation.

Annual Product Reviews (APRs) are important for communication between manufacturing, quality and regulatory Affairs, to enable quality improvement processes. Content and management of Annual Product Reviews must be established according to this directive.

Page 8: GMP- APQR Training

Reference - APQR

• US FDA –Published in 1978 GMP Guideline which was included to review the quality standards

• All GMP Guidelines refer the requirement of APQR– CFR 211.180 (e):– ICH Q7– EU GMP– WHO- GMP

Page 9: GMP- APQR Training

Requirement of APQR

In USA - "Annual Product Review“In Europe, the EU GMP Guideline uses the

term "Product Quality Review".Requirement or expectations are almost sameAPQR should be conducted for all commercial

product. APQR should confirm the State of Control

Page 10: GMP- APQR Training

The US Requirements: 21 CFR 211.180 (e)

• US FDA objectives for performing the APR are to determine the need to make changes in the – manufacturing process, – the manufacturing controls (e.g., in-process testing

and monitoring), evaluate the needs for revalidation and

– product specifications.

to evaluate the compliance status of the manufacture and to identify areas of improvement

A review of a representative number of batches, whether approved or rejected, and records associated with the batch

A review of complaints, recalls, returned or salvaged drug products, and investigations conducted under Sec. 211.192 for each drug product.

Page 11: GMP- APQR Training

The Requirements for APIs in ICH Q72.5 Product Quality Review

2.50 Regular quality reviews of APIs should be conducted with the objective

of verifying the consistency of the process. Such reviews should normally be

conducted and documented annually and should include at least:

A review of critical in-process control and critical API test results; A review of all batches that failed to meet established specification (s); A review of all critical deviations or non-conformances and related investigations; A review of any changes carried out to the processes or analytical methods; A review of results of the stability monitoring program; A review of all quality-related returns, complaints and recalls; and A review of adequacy of corrective actions

Page 12: GMP- APQR Training

The Requirements for APIs in ICH Q7

2.5 Product Quality Review

2.51 The results of this review should be evaluated and an

assessment made of whether corrective actions or any

revalidation should be undertaken. Reasons for such corrective

action should be documented. Agreed corrective actions should

be completed in a timely and effective manner.

The EU Requirements for PQR (1)• EU Guidelines to Good Manufacturing Practice ; Medicinal

Products for Human and Veterinary Use ; Part I ; Chapter 1 Quality Management (issued on 25 October 2005)

Product Quality Review

1.5 Regular periodic or rolling quality reviews of all licensed medicinal products, including export only products, should be conducted with the objective of verifying consistency of the existing process, the suitability of current specifications for both starting materials and finished product to highlight any trends and to identify product and process improvements. Such reviews should normally be conducted and documented annually, taking into account previous reviews, and should include at least:

Page 14: GMP- APQR Training

The EU Requirements for PQR (2)A review of starting materials and packaging materials used for the

product, especially those from new sourcesA review of critical in- process controls and finished product resultsA review of all batches that failed to meet established

specification(s) and their investigation.A review of all significant deviations or non conformances, their

related investigations, and the effectiveness of resultant corrective and preventative actions taken

A review of all changes carried out to the processes or analytical methods

A review of Marketing Authorisation variations submitted/granted/refused, including those for third country (export only) dossiers.

Page 15: GMP- APQR Training

The EU Requirements for PQR (3)

• A review of the results of the stability monitoring programme and any adverse trends

• A review of all quality- related returns, complaints and recalls and the investigations performed at the time

• A review of adequacy of any other previous product process or equipment corrective actions. For new marketing authorisations and variations to marketing authorisations, a review of post-marketing commitments

• The qualification status of relevant equipment and utilities, e.g. HVAC, water, compressed gases, etc

• A review of Technical/Quality Agreements to ensure that they are up to date.

Page 16: GMP- APQR Training

Benefit or use

• Decrease the risk of out-of-specification results• Minimize the risk of rework/reprocessing• Decrease downtime• Increase productivity• Decrease the risk of product recalls• Meet all regulatory commitments/requirements• Improve communication between production, engineering,

quality and regulatory functions

Page 17: GMP- APQR Training

Responsibilities

• It is responsibilities of QA• Establish an SOP with responsibility and process of APQR • Individual departments have to provide the data and

participating in the APQR process. • Reviews should normally be conducted and documented• The Quality Unit, as the central position, should request this

review and coordinate the necessary work. Can develop format/ check list to get information.

• Other departments, like Production, Engineering, Maintenance, Purchase, etc. are also need to be involved.

• Senior Quality Management must approve the APQR.

Page 18: GMP- APQR Training

Requirements Written procedures shall be established and it must be followed ;APQR must cover a one-year rolling period, but does not have to

coincide with a calendar yearThe review should normally be completed within 60 calendar daysAPQR for all products manufacturedIn case product not manufactured in the year of review , shall

review stability and complaint, Recall & returns etc.APQR must be prepared for each water quality grade producedFor critical utilities it is recommending either to perform a separate

APR or to include a specific chapter in the APR.APQR must include all batches of product (accepted /rejected

/destroyed )APQR must address the assessment of data, documents and

electronic records reviewed

Page 19: GMP- APQR Training

Preparation

• Appropriate statistical tools may be used to assess process capability when data from a large number of batches is being reviewed.

• Where the data concludes that there is a drift in process capability , actions should be determined to evaluate the causes and improve performance in the forthcoming review period.

• The review of all batches which fail to meet specification and the review of critical deviations

• should look specifically at recurring causes and identify appropriate actions to reduce the frequency and improve performance.

Page 20: GMP- APQR Training

Corrective action

Equipment not functioning correctly or in need of maintenance or replacement.

Inadequate batch instructions or training of operators.Process parameters so tightly defined that the equipment is

not capable of routinelyachieving the acceptance criteria.Inhomogeneous product or inadequate sampling procedures.Poor quality raw materials or lack of control of raw material

suppliers.Retest period or expiry date Revalidation, requalification

Page 21: GMP- APQR Training

Review and document

Review and document

• Review of "deviations from the validated state“ A review of all batches that failed to meet established specification(s) and

their investigation

Significant/critical deviations, Out of Specification Results and related failure investigations (review of adequacy and effectiveness of corrective and preventative actions taken)

Product quality complaints &Product Recalls

Quality related issues for returned, and/or salvaged goods

Changes effected (change control) and variations during the period (e.g. process, suppliers, equipment, critical utilities)

Changes of product specifications or methods (e.g. analytical changes, and results)

Page 23: GMP- APQR Training

Review and document

Trend Analysis Trend analysis on key in-process and release testing with graphic

representation and basic statistics recommended A review of the results of the stability monitoring program and trend

analysis on stability dataObservations/Recommendations an conclusion

Report the review observations. Recommendations from this review

The results of the APR must be evaluated and an assessment made whether corrective or preventive action or any re-validation is necessary.

A conclusion statement must be written to assess if the product consistently meets its quality attributes, and if not, what actions need to be taken.

Rationale for such CAPAs must be documented.
