ICH Q11 Development and Manufacture of Biopharmaceuticals Testing
The International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guideline Q11 provides a framework to ensure that biopharmaceutical products, including biosimilars, are developed and manufactured in compliance with regulatory standards. This service ensures that the development process for these complex biological entities is robust, reproducible, and reliable, thereby safeguarding patient safety and efficacy.
The complexity of biopharmaceuticals necessitates a multi-faceted approach to testing. This involves ensuring that the product maintains its structural integrity during manufacturing processes such as purification, formulation, and fill-finish operations. The service includes a detailed evaluation of the process analytical technology (PAT) which aims at continuous monitoring and control of critical quality attributes (CQAs).
The ICH Q11 framework mandates rigorous testing for biosimilars to demonstrate their similarity to reference products. This involves not only structural characterization but also functional tests, stability studies, and clinical evaluation data. Our laboratory adheres strictly to these guidelines ensuring that the development process is both robust and compliant.
At Eurolab, our service includes a comprehensive approach to ICH Q11 compliance, encompassing:
- Structural characterization of biopharmaceuticals
- Functional testing for biosimilars
- Process analytical technology (PAT) implementation and validation
- Critical quality attribute (CQA) evaluation during manufacturing processes
- Stability studies to ensure long-term product integrity
We employ state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodologies, including mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Our team of experts ensures that every aspect of the development process is thoroughly tested and validated.
Our approach to ICH Q11 compliance is not just about meeting regulatory requirements; it's about ensuring that biopharmaceuticals are safe, effective, and consistently produced. This service plays a crucial role in the lifecycle management of these complex biological entities from drug discovery through commercialization.
