EDITORIAL PREFACE
Handbook of Generic Drug Development - Semisolid Dosage Forms his handbook represents the third International Edition for Europe of the ongoing 24 volume series of Generic Drug Development and appears under the cumulative title of the Handbook series of Generic Drug Development. The ongoing series is updated annually at the end of each year. This is an ongoing process as new data, specifications and process techniques are added on a continual and expanding basis. This handbook is fact, never fully complete, as each new annual edition brings an enlarged and extended profile in the drug development process, as well as new agency rules, guidelines and guidance to industry which continue to be added year by year as the global product data base expands. Currently over 150 scientific publications and drug development conferences are annually referenced in the 24 volume Handbook series of Generic Drug Development. This mammoth task presents a continual ongoing commitment by the scientific review committee to the improvement of the technical databases and the product specific drug development requirements and know-how technology accessed through the world wide IAGIM joint ventures and know-how projects currently active in over 15 countries. The Handbook is available in electronic format (Online and CD ROM) and the eformat is up-dated annually to association members of IAGIM.

This third international edition of the Handbook has been redesigned and updated
to meet the January 1999 Guidance for Industry - Organization of an Abbreviated New Drug Application and an Abbreviated Antibiotic Application as well as all current approved and draft FDA guideline requirements of the Center of Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Editor-in-Chief.

It has become standard practice for the large RLD (Innovative) Companies to delay for as long as

possible, by means of costly litigation action, the newly applied Generic registration, if submitted under a Paragraph IV certification, whether or not there is any legal basis for the litigation suite. The spirit and intention of the Act and law to provide suitable cheaper generic drugs for the general public is overridden by the Innovative Companies desire to look for continued extra-legal patent protection even thought the innovator has indeed received its fair and proper share of protection under the law during its full marketing period. The branded RLD Company simply immediately sues the generic applicant as a matter of routine practice, using its huge financial leverage to suppress the potentially lesser generic company. (Quote Brussels Conference on Patent Certification Oct. 1999: "if they don't sue - they're brain dead"). In truth, branded RLD Company need to honestly address the overall ethics question of this [now] standard litigation action which is based purely on the profit and greed motive and is designed to evade, side-step and elude the spirit and intention of the law for the benefit of the general public at large - Editor-in-Chief.

Background This specification is not specifically described under the FD&C Act but appears in the FDA final regulations dated Nov 2, 1994. The purpose of the "No relevant Patents Statement " appears to be designed to aid and help the internal FDA OGD reviewers to assure them that your firm's omission to include a patent certification is a deliberate action and not simply a regulatory oversight.

Note: The intention of the regulations and the preamble to the regulations is to provide a positive
statement that the submitted ANDA should not contain any of the FOUR Patent Certification Statements (i.e. No Paragraph I ; II ; III or IV statement) - Thus, it is necessary to submit a "No relevant Patents Statement " if and only if, no patent(s) exist that should be the subject of a Patent Certification - i.e. stating the negative condition and thus eradicating the element of an regulatory oversight.

FDA's Published January 1999 ANDA Guideline requirements Section IV. Comparison between Generic Drug and Reference Listed Drug (505(j)(2)(A)) 1. Conditions of Use ( 3l4.94(a)(4)) 2. Active ingredient(s) and supporting information ( 3l4.94(a)(5)) 3. Inactive ingredients as appropriate ( 314.94(a)(9)) 4. Route of administration, dosage form, and strength ( 3l4.94(a)(6)) Note:
Until the issue of the FDA Guideline in February 1999 'Guidance for Industry Organization of an ANDA' it was appropriate to place the side-by-side labeling comparison in section V on the ANDA. The new February 1999 'Guide' indicates that the side-by-side labeling comparison should appear in Section IV-5. Applicants may place the comparison in both section IV-5 and V until the FDA are conversant with the new guideline

FDA GUIDELINE NOTE: The evidence available at this time for the in vitro-in vivo correlation of release tests for semisolid dosage forms is not as convincing as that for in vitro dissolution as a surrogate for in vivo bioavailability of solid oral dosage forms. Therefore, the FDA's current position concerning in vitro release testing is as follows:

In vitro release testing is a useful test to assess product sameness under certain scale-up and post-approval changes for semisolid products. The development and validation of an in-vitro release test is not required for approval of an NDA, ANDA or AADA nor is the in vitro release test required as a routine batch-to-batch quality control test. bioequivalence.

In vitro release testing, alone, is not a surrogate test for in vivo bioavailability or The in vitro release rate should not be used for comparing different formulations
across manufacturers.

PROJECT SUMMARY
This report is respectfully submitted to [Applicant Company Name Inc. / Ltd.] [Address]. The objective to determine the bioequivalence of [Generic name] Semisolids [USP] [000.0] mg/g in comparison to a registered preparation of [Innovator name] Semisolids [USP] marketed by [Innovator] in [Country] This project was designed as a randomized, single application, two way, crossover comparative study for evaluating topical bioequivalence / pharmacokinetics of the following test preparations: [Generic name] Semisolid [000.0] mg / g Lot: 000 versus the [RLD] Semisolid [000.0] mg /g. Lot: AA000 THE Study was performed in [00] healthy volunteers who received a [000] mg single application of [Active Material] under controlled study conditions. DETERMINATION of [Active Material] were performed according to SOP 00 on the samples collected, following application of the topical forms. [Active Material] concentration was determined by a validated [GC-MS] / [HPLC] method. BASED on the results of the study the test product is comparable in rate and extent of absorption for the reference product for [Active Material] THE clinical observations were unremarkable. No significant or unexpected changes in vital signs, ECGs, physical examinations or clinical laboratory tests were observed. Only one subject showed a mild adverse reaction.

BRIEF OVERVIEW

TYPES OF BIOEQUIVALENT STUDIES FOR SEMISOLIDS


IN VIVO BIOEQUIVALENCE STUDIES
The design of in vivo bioequivalence studies for semisolid dosage forms varies depending on the pharmacological activity of the drug and dosage form. A brief general discussion of such tests follows.

Objective:
To document the bioequivalence of the drug product for which the manufacture has been changed, is defined in SUPAC-SS, compared to the drug product manufactured prior to the change or compared to the reference listed drug (RLD).

Design:
The study design is dependent on the nature of the active drug. The bioequivalence study can be a comparative skin blanching study as in:

Glucocorticoids (FDA, Topical Dermatological Corticosteroids: In Vivo


Bioequivalence, June 2, 1995.)

Comparative clinical trial or any other appropriate validated


bioequivalence study (e.g., dermatopharmacokinetic study) for the topical dermatological drug product.

Analytical Method:
The assay methodology selected should ensure the following Specificity Accuracy Inter-day precision (ruggedness) Intra-day precision (ruggedness) Linearity of standard curves Adequate sensitivity Recovery Stability of the samples under the storage and handling conditions associated with the analytical method.

Raw Material Control


OUTLINE OF STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING RAW MATERIALS AND PACKAGING MATERIALS
1. Vendors Approval All chemical raw materials used in the manufacturing of commercial products and primary stability batches, must be supplied by approved vendors. The approval of vendors is a shared responsibility of the QA Department of the plant and the Purchasing Department. For pilot batches, the R&D Department is responsible. The Purchasing Dept. submits an application to approve a vendor to the QA Department, specifying the full details of the vendor and samples identified by the manufacturer, including the Certificates of Analysis of the manufacturer. The manufacturer must have a DMF (Drug Master File) submitted to the FDA. The QC Laboratory tests must confirm that the Certificate of Analysis, which must accompany the raw material, meets the raw material requirements. In the absence of a pharmacopoeia monograph, compliance to an approved inhouse monograph is required. The in-house monograph forms part of the requirements. The use of an alternative active raw material from a new vendor, not stated in the ANDA, is subject to the prior approval of the FDA. After obtaining satisfactory results, and if required the approval of the appropriate health authority, the QA Unit approves the new vendor. 2. Acceptance Criteria All raw materials are quarantined after receipt at the firms warehouse, pending tests and analysis. With the arrival of raw materials, the existence of a purchase order is checked, including the line number of the order. The status of the vendor and the condition in which the goods arrived is full examined. All lots are sampled. Each lot must have a manufacturers Certificate of Analysis for the QC department review. The initial batches of an approved vendor are tested according to the full monograph. When the reliability of the vendors Certificate of Analysis is established and the vendor is approved, the use of an abbreviated monograph is evaluated. A full compendial monograph is performed every 6 months on all incoming raw material lots. On receipt, each sample undergoes at least one (1) identification test. Further routine tests are performed as required by the respective testing program.

Raw Material Control


Rejected Batches:
Raw materials samples not approved for use by the laboratory will be marked by a laboratory issued red Rejected label, affixed to the sample by a quality assurance unit, and transferred to the Rejected area of the warehouse. Rejected materials will remain in the Rejected area until a final decision is reached whether to return them to the supplier or to destroy them. 3. Retest Schedule Each lot of raw material remaining in the inventory is retested based on the previous date of analysis. Retest period for highly sensitive materials (actives and excipients) and materials requiring microbiological testing, is 12 months. All other active and excipient materials are retested after 24 months, or as stipulated in the laboratory documents. [Active Material] (Approved Supplier) will be retested after 12 months. 4. Storage Quarantine Storage 1. Raw materials shall be stored in controlled environmental areas under monitored environmental storage temperatures, held between 15o to 25oC. 2. Raw materials received shall be marked with identification labels QUARANTINE Do Not Use! Materials shall be sampled and then transferred, for holding in the quarantine area, pending QC release. 3. The quarantine for raw materials requiring cooling or freezing shall be stored in controlled and routinely monitored refrigerators or deep freezers, capable of maintaining the correct temperature conditions for the appropriate raw material. 4. The raw materials shall be stored, off the floor, on a shelf, on a palette, in cages or in appropriate refrigerated units. 5. The raw materials shall remain in the quarantine area throughout the QC Analytical Laboratory material acceptance testing. Release from Quarantine 1. Raw materials released by the QC laboratory for use in production, shall receive a green Released label. The label is printed by the QC Lab computer and attached over the orange part of the label marked QUARANTINE - Do Not Use!. 2. The expiration dates for the released raw materials are printed on the labels by the QC lab computer. Materials having a green Released label will be transferred to the released materials storage area. 3

Production Office - Prepares a production order file for each production batch according to the production schedule. Production Office - Assigns batch numbers, according to the existing code procedure, and enters these numbers in the batch numbers log. Production Office - A photocopy of the master formula record and manufacturing instructions is prepared with the specific manufacturing batch number. Production Office - Prepares all forms needed in the manufacturing process which are placed in the product order file. The file is then transferred to the Weighing Center/Dispensing Area. Dispensing Area - Weighs all raw material components according to the master formula record. For each weighing, the raw material receiving logbook number is entered on the master formula record. All materials belonging to one manufacturing batch of the product is placed on a separate pallet and covered with a pallet cover or clear shrink-wrap. As per production schedule the pre-weighed raw material on pallets are transferred to productions, by production personnel, under the responsibility of the department head. Production Depts. - During manufacturing, the product test results are recorded on the control forms which are attached to the master formula and manufacturing instructions batch record. Production Office - forwards a Standard Packaging Sheet with the computerized order to the packaging department. Packaging Department - forwards the Standard Packaging Sheet and the computer order to the packaging materials warehouse. Packaging Department - Authorizes packaging startup, in-process compliance, on the Packaging Work Sheet. After packaging, the packaged goods are transferred to the warehouse/holding area under a quarantine status, pending QC release. The product is tested by the QC analytical laboratory. Production records and test results are analyzed by QA Department and on release the product is moved to the warehouse ready for shipment. The batch records are archived by the Quality Assurance Department. Shipping Department - maintains a complete and traceability record of the dispatches of each product batch number and its final destination.

IN-PROCESS CONTROLS DURING SEMISOLID FILLING
In-process testing is conducted independently by both production and quality control trained personnel. The tests specified in the underlying tables are performed in accord with the in-process product specifications. When, a test is not required, according to the written specifications, it will not be performed. Production personnel test the physical specifications of random samples
according to the individual product specifications: A minimum sampling frequency is tabulated for each eight hour (shift) period.

Production In-process Testing Schedule:

OUTLINE OF STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR: SAMPLING PLAN OF PIVOTAL LOTS FOR STABILITY AND BIOAVAILABILITY STUDIES.

tandard Operating Procedures are in place at the commercial manufacturing facility, that define the overall packaging procedures for the pivotal lot(s) and the representative sampling of the various pack sizes for the purpose of quality control, stability testing and bioavailability studies. These procedures are summarized below. The entire pivotal lot (i.e. 100%) is packaged in the commercial production packaging department, using routine production equipment, and operated by the standard production personnel. The smallest and largest pack size of each pack type is packaged, not less than 15 -20% of the pivotal batch is packed into each pack type. The number of each type of pack size sampled is calculated in order obtain approximately equal numbers of each presentation size. A sampling plan for each type of package, is determined on the basis of the total number of packages and the number of packages required for control, stability and topical bioavailability studies. The sampling plan is representative of the entire pivotal batch.

OUTLINE of IN-HOUSE ANALYTICAL SOP


Content Uniformity
The requirements for content Uniformity are met if the amount of the active ingredient in each of the 10 samples, as determined from the Content Uniformity Analytical Method, lies within the range of 90.0 - 110.0% of the labeled amount and the Relative Standard Deviation is less than or equal to 6.0%. If 1 sample is outside the range of 90.0 - 110.0% of labeled amount and no sample is outside the range of 80.0 - 120.0% of labeled amount, or if the Relative Standard Deviation is greater than 6.0%, or if both conditions prevail, test 20 additional samples. The requirements are met if not more than 1 sample of the 30 is outside the range of 90.0 110.0% of labeled amount and no sample is outside the range of 80.0 - 120.0% of labeled amount, the Relative Standard Deviation of the 30 samples does not exceed 7.8%.

During the manufacture of the executed (pivotal) batch, FILL WEIGHT range verification testing was performed. The result demonstrate that FILLING of _____________SEMISOLID on production equipment at production speeds was within the proposed weight range (minimum 000, maximum 000). The uniformity of content was evaluated on at least three samples taken at each speed. Each tube sampled and tested for U of C from the top, middle and crimp positions. The weight range results demonstrate that the range limits have been suitably validated for routine commercial production batch manufacture.

The

container closure system for the drug product are described in detail in the specifications and drawings included in this section. 13.1 13.2 Outlines for Packaging and Labeling Procedures Blank Packaging Forms and Packaging reconciliation .
A relatively standardized ANDA section that emphasizes the intended commercial production packaging procedures and reconciliation controls in force.
The limit for unexplained loss of 20 per 1000 i.e. 2% of the amount received is a common upper limit industry standard. Unexplained material losses of 0.5 - 1% are generally target levels.

NOTE: STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURES - OUTLINES.

Actual

Standard Operation Procedures should not generally be included in an ANDA submission. For various reasons new editions or amendments to SOPs are continually being development or new SOP procedure are introduced from time to time.

The

period between submission and pre-approval inspection or first commercial production lots may well have resulted in a new SOP in use. FDA's Published January 1999 ANDA Guideline Requirements:

Packaging and Labeling Procedures


OUTLINE OF STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR: PACKAGING AND LABELING PROCEDURES Applicants Acceptance Criteria The Acceptance criteria for new packaging

components are detailed in the firms appropriate SOPs required according to cGMP (21 CFR 211). Actual acceptance activities are cross-checked by the firms QA department prior to manufacturer. A narrative outline of the QA system is given. 1. The packaging work station is inspected prior to the start of work, for work station and equipment cleanliness. The packaging station must be free of all previous leftover work materials and the packaging line must be completely clear. 2. The product and packaging materials are identified according to the Standard Packaging Sheets printed with the required packaging specifications. 3. In-Process Control of the packaging procedure is carried out at the start of packaging procedure, and then at approximately every hour during the packaging process. When packaging machines are temporary stopped, the work station is re-inspected and full In-Process Control checks are carried out prior to restarting the cleared line. 4. At the end of packaging procedure, a material balance and a packaging reconciliation is performed on the packed product and the unused printed packaging materials that contain any overprinting (Lot number ; Expiry Date). (Example of the material balance & packaging reconciliation sheet attached). 5. Any quantity absent during packaging reconciliation is resolved as an unexplained loss. The limit for the unexplained loss may not exceed 2% of the amount received. 6. A Packaging Department supervisor / representative and a QA representative checks and approves that the entire packaging procedure was performed according to required specifications, and signs the Packaging Work Sheet. NOTE: BLANK PACKAGING FORMS Examples of Blank Packaging Forms are not given in this example. The critical checks to proper packaging control forms are; Identify and quantify - all incoming printed packaging material (including primary and secondary packaging materials) Identify and quantify - all incoming containers, closures and containers inserts (including applicators, special nozzles etc.) Perform a material balance check on all Packed Goods and a Packaging Reconciliation on all printed materials and containers.

[e]Specificity and Suitability (Resolution and Tailing Factors). When a satisfactory separations of all the degradation peaks have been achieved through the forced degradation reactions, a Resolution Factor (according to the USP requirements) between the main active peak and the nearest degradant peak is calculated using the USP formula. A Tailing Factor (according to the USP formula) is calculated for the main active peak. [f] System Suitability Test A mixture of [Active] AS. standard at the concentration about [0.1]mg/mL and of [Impurity] AS. standard at the concentration about [0.01]mg/mL according to Method SI-1000 was prepared and injected into the HPLC system. For chromatogram obtained the following values were calculated (according to USP): 1. Relative Retention Time for [Impurity] peak RRT = RT [Impurity] RT [Active] 2. Tailing factor for [Active] peak
Tf = W0.05 9 = = 1.1 2f 4.2 =

The values depict the specificity of the method for resolution between the main peak and impurity peak. (values shown for demonstrations purposes).

Peak Purity
The photo diode-array is used for the evaluation of the stability indicating nature of the assay method number SI-1000 for [000]mg and [000]mg tablets using a Waters 996 Unit, controlled by the chromatography manager Millennium 2010. Peak purity and match results are reported as: Purity Angle is a measure of spectral non-homogeneity across a peak - i.e. the weighed average of all Spectral Contrast Angles calculated by comparing all spectra in the integrated peak against the peak apex spectrum. Purity Threshold is the sum of Noise Angle and Solvent Angle. It is the limit of detection of shape differences between two spectra. Match Angle is a comparison of the spectrum at the peak apex against a library spectrum. Match Threshold is the sum of the Match Noise Angle and Match Solvent Angle. Noise Angle is a measure of spectral non-homogeneity caused by system noise.

Peak Purity

(Cont.)

Solvent Angle is a measure of spectral non-homogeneity caused by solvent composition. It the purity angle is smaller than the purity threshold and the match angle is smaller than the match threshold, this indicates that no significant differences between spectra are detected. There is no spectroscopic evidence for co-elution and the peak is considered pure.

[f] Relative Retention Time of Main and Additional peaks.


Each stressed analysis shall indicate the percentage by which the Main peak is decreased as well as the RRT for any other Additional peaks. If the RRT of an Additional peak corresponds to a known degradant/impurity etc. it shall be stated. The peak purity of the main peak shall be given for each stressed analysis (where possible).

Validation of limit testing for impurity methods shall include : Specificity Detection Limit (DL) Quantitation Limit (QL)

Detection Limit (DL) The detection limit of an individual analytical procedure is the lowest amount of analyte in a sample which can be detested but not necessary quantitated as an exact value. Quantitation Limit (QL) The Quantitation limit of an individual analytical procedure is the lowest amount of analyte in a sample which can be quantitatively determined with suitable precision and accuracy.

[8] RUGGEDNESS & Robustness.


Ruggedness measures the lack of external influence on the test results whereas robustness measures the lack of internal influences on the test results. The Robustness of an analytical procedure is a measure of its capacity to remain unaffected by small but deliberate variations in method parameters and thus providing an indication of its reliability normal usage. The method may be evaluated for specificity using two different columns. No differences in specificity, selectivity or column performance should be observed.

Robustness
Robustness determinations are essential when transferring analytical methods from the development laboratory to the commercial plant quality control laboratory. There may usually be a difference in columns or HPLC machine models used. Deliberate variations according to the following table were made to the critical parameters of the method such as column, flow rate and concentration of [organic acid] in the mobile phase. Using the System Suitability solution and LOQ solution as the Test Solutions the performance of the method was evaluated. Column 1: Phenomenex Bondclone 10, C-18, 300 x 3.9mm (OOH-2117-CD) Column 2: Waters -Bondapak 10, C-18, 300 x 3.9mm (27324) CONDITION

Notes on different terms frequently used: INTERMEDIATE PRECISION The analytical variation expressed between laboratories on different days; with different equipment; or different analysts is known as - intermediate precision. REPRODUCIBILITY (INTRA-LAB) This intra-laboratory precision or the precision between laboratories is known as reproducibility or more specifically - intra-laboratory reproducibility. Both the above are ruggedness - and a USP requirement.

Robustness. The evaluation of robustness should be finalized at the end of the development phase - around the time of the process qualification lot manufacture. The robustness evaluation should be developed with the commercial laboratory equipment in mind. It should show the reliability of an analysis with respect to deliberate variations in the method parameters A consequence of robustness evaluation is that a series of system suitability parameters are established to ensure that the validity of the analytical procedure is maintained whenever used.
Robustness is defined by both the USP and the ICH Tripartite guidelines as "a measure of its capacity to remain unaffected by small but deliberate variations in method parameters and provides an indication of its reliability during normal use " Robustness is defined both in the USP and ICH, but is not required.

This stability section contains:
Stability protocol for post-approval production batches Proposed expiration date and stability commitment - a signed commitment to conduct long term stability studies as described in our stability protocol (ref. page [00 - 00]) Summary of Stability summary - that addresses the details of our stability program for the finished project. This protocol includes container-closure system, storage conditions, methods and specifications , report format , batch size, dates of analysis and room temperature intervals. (ref. page [00 - 00]) Stability reports containing data from 3 month accelerated and 6 months controlled room temperature studies. (ref. page [00 - 00]) Package Characteristic of pivotal batch. (ref. page [00 - 00])

OVERVIEW

Stability testing is performed on the largest and smallest container-closure systems


proposed for marketing; i.e. in each material type, namely plastic (HDPE/HDPP), glass, or push-through blister packs. When more than one closure for the same container material type (e.g. glass bottle) is used in the proposed marketing containers, the largest and smallest containerclosure configuration is tested, - for both accelerated and long term studies. In cases where plastic bottles of the same size range and shape are manufactured from different thermoplastic resins, they exhibition different storage characteristics and thus are considered as completely separate container-closure systems. The expiration dating process starts between 21 to 30 days from the completion of the manufacturing of the pivotal batch and release by quality control. This 21 to 30 day period is in keeping with the 1987 informal guidance document which stipulates that stability testing should initiate at the time of release which should not itself exceed 30 days from the date of manufacture.

The example below for the following packaging configuration highlights the number of stability tests needed. Tests may be reduced using a matrix stability protocol.
1. 2. 3. HDPP (smallest) container with plastic HDPE cap / nozzle HDPP (smallest) container with plastic HDPE cap / nozzle HDPP (largest) container with plastic HDPE cap / nozzle

When tested on ONE strength with 4 container-closure configuration at accelerated


and long term testing (2) will produce 8 separate stability protocols Calculation. (4 container/sizes x [1 Strength] x 1 closures x [25C+40C] = 8 studies).

SUMMARY OF STABILITY STUDIES
Stability Data Overview The 3 months accelerated (40 2C / 75 RH 5% ) and 6 months room temperature
(25 2C / 60 RH 5%) stability data in all container-closure systems were examined for Lots #[000] and Lots #[000] of [Generic Drug name] [USP] [00.0] mg. Labeled chromatograms for the end 12 week period are included. (ref. page [00 00]) The data indicate that the formulation is stable, with no observed degradation peaks, under test conditions. Samples were stored for testing in their proposed market container/closure systems. The stability results indicate that the formulation is stable, with no observed degradation, under the tested conditions. No significant change in either chemical or physical attributes was noted in any sample under any of the storage conditions. This stability data supports the proposed expiry period of the product of 2 years at room temperature as there was no significant changes in either the physical chemical, or microbiological specifications in any samples evaluated after the exposed storage test conditions. The attached tables and graphs are summaries of the results for the parameters used to establish the stability profile of [Generic Drug name] [USP] [00.0] mg. (ref. page [00 - 00]) The attached tables and graphs are summaries of the results for the parameters used to establish the stability profile of [Generic Drug name] [USP] [00.0] mg. Included, are assay chromatogram spectra of the stability tests for zero time (T0) and the three (3) months accelerated test conditions. [Generic Drug name] [USP] [00.0]mg were stored at accelerated conditions (40 2C / 75% RH 5%) and at room temperature (25 2C/ 60% RH 5%) in the proposed market container/closure system. Where PRODUCTS fail the accelerated testing, Intermediate testing is performed according to the following specification. Intermediate testing 0,1,2,3,6,9 and 302C/605%RH 12 months This stability data supports the proposed expiry period of the product of 2 years at room temperature as there was no significant changes in either the physical chemical, or microbiological specifications in any samples evaluated after the exposed storage test conditions. Thus stability data generated support the proposed expiration period of 2 years when the product is stored at the defined room temperatures.

[Generic Company Name Inc./Ltd.] hereby requests a categorical exclusion [in

accord with 21 CFR 25.23(c) and 21 CFR 25.24(c)(1)] from the requirement of an Environmental Assessment Statement [21 CFR 25.31(a)]. This request is based on two facts: 1. The finished drug product which is the subject of the Abbreviated New Drug Application will not be administered at higher dosage levels, for longer duration, or for different indications than previously in effect for the listed drug product (RLD) as stated more fully in section IV of this application. 2. Data available to the Agency does not establish that, at the expected level of exposure, the substance may be toxic to organisms in the environment.

On the basis of the forgoing statements [Generic Company Name Inc./Ltd.] submits that an Environmental Impact Analysis Statement is not required with this application and, therefore requests that it be categorically excluded from the requirements to submit an Environmental Impact Analysis.

Additional Information
OVERVIEW

his section is used for clarifying the various ADDITIONAL DATA REQUIREMENTS that may apply to the development and the manufacturing procedures of this application.

Note:Where the manufacturing of the drug product may require a rework procedure the
data validating the process step is summarized in this section. All necessary data is presented that indicates no significant change in the overall drug specifications both at product release and during the overall shelf life period claimed for the drug.

Steps that do not require support data are minor process procedures; such as fluid
bed drying operations that may require additional drying to reach the required target moisture content (LOD %) of the granule or additional bulk mixing or homogenization in liquids and semisolids. These conditional procedures are highlighted as standard instructions in the manufacturing method or manufacturing instructions.

This

section is also useful to tabulate Drug Master File (DMF) numbers and list Letters of Access (LOA) to various DMFs as referenced in the Application. LOA letters should be clear copies and display recent dates with correct vendor names and addresses - especially if there has been a name or site change in the vendor's organization.

Do's and Don'ts


13 Commandments when Preparing an Application.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. The less you make the reviewer work the sooner you get the application! Make it really easy for agency reviewers to review your work. Prepare the applications so that you drag the reviewer through it. Don't challenge the FDA reviewer to think deeply. Don't make them look for a copy of the Orange Book. Don't make them go and find the suitability petition letter. Do include every DMF # and GMP certification that you refer to. Do prepare a detailed narrative where ever possible to give a quick overview of what they can expect. Write confirmation narrative letters on all protocol discussions. Do make your narratives reader friendly - take your time writing them. Don't exclude and executive summary just because its not a statutory requirement - they really help to get the message across. Do layout and assemble your application so that the reviewer can cruise though it by making it a real joy to read. Supply a PDF copy on CD ROM of the full application. Do use the KISS principle - ' Keep it Simple Scientist '.
