As a result, strictly following the ICH stability guidance for NCEs is unwarranted and ignores this significant database of information that is typically available for OTC drug products. For OTC drug products covered by an OTC monograph or an ANDA, there is frequently years of proven experience with the drug substance as well as the drug product. It is this body of data that can often be used to justify a pre-market stability program that represents a subset of the full ICH NCE stability requirements.
Whether involved with OTC drug products covered by an NDA, ANDA, or OTC monograph, this course will provide an understanding of how the pre-market stability programs can be successfully managed while minimizing the overall timeline, a key factor to the timely launch of new products. Lectures will address the six key GMP aspects of a stability program along with all of the relevant ICH, FDA, WHO and CHPA guidelines that cover drug product stability. An important aspect to be covered is the successful use of accelerated testing that allows the marketing of a new OTC drug product prior to the generation of long term, real time stability data. Confirmation of the stability projections through an appropriate post-market stability program will also be covered. Participants will also be able to get answers to their questions about the stability of OTC drug products.
