ICH Stability Testing and Method Development

Stability testing is a vital part of product development and is conducted throughout a product’s life cycle. Stability is part of a biotherapeutic’s quality target product profile, and results help analysts understand how critical quality attributes (CQAs) of both drug substances and products are influenced under specific conditions of temperature, relative humidity (RH), light, storage, pH, and other factors. These studies are required to be conducted in a planned way following the guidelines issued by ICH, WHO and or other agencies. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the ICH guidelines for Stability testing, as well as aspects of analytical method development.
