Regulatory Aspects of 3D-Printed
Medicinal Products
Maria Malamatari, Ka-Wai Wan and Fotios Baxevanis
Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, London, UK
11.1 Introduction
Three-dimensional printing (3D printing or sometimes referred to as additive manufactur-
ing), in the context of pharmaceutical application, involves the deposition of the active drug
substance and excipients in a layer-by-layer manner for the construction of a pharmaceuti-
cal dosage form or drug delivery system with the use of a 3D printer equipped with an
appropriate computer-aided design (CAD) software.
This chapter aims to highlight the relevant regulatory consideration associated with the
manufacture of pharmaceutical products using 3D-printing (3DP) technologies. It is not
intended to provide a comprehensive list of regulatory requirements for the satisfactory
approval of a 3DP device or a 3DP-printed pharmaceutical product. Consideration relating
to the 3DP device, the use of computer simulations, or computer-aided design (CAD) of the
product are not extensively discussed in this chapter. The focus of this chapter is mainly on
the manufacturing process and controls of the 3DP pharmaceutical product intended for
oral delivery, although it is acknowledged that different regulatory aspects for medical
implants, stents, vaginal, or topical delivery systems, such as microneedles and pessaries,
as well as 3D bioprinting of tissues and organs warrant further consideration, as well as the
use of 3DP technology for medical device purposes.

11.2 Current Regulatory Framework
Even though additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly developing technology, there are no
separate regulatory pathways for the regulation of products manufactured using 3DP.
Despite their unique nature, the chemistry, manufacture, and control (CMC) aspects are
regulated in line with the regulatory and procedural guidance which governs conventional
medicines and devices in the APAC/EMEA/LAD/NA areas.
In the US, the FDA regulates 3DP medicinal products and devices via the Centre for
Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Centre for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH), and the Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) [1], depending on the
product type and intended use [2]. In December 2017, the FDA published a guidance for
industry and for the FDA staff on the technical considerations for additive-manufactured
medical devices [3]. The scope of the document was to provide guidance on the design,
development, characterisation, and testing of medical devices, at least one element of
which is manufactured using an AM process. The guidance does not intend to address all
regulatory requirements for such devices but rather to provide an insight into the FDA’s
rationale in the evaluation of such products and complement the existing device-specific
regulatory guidance. It is noted that the use of biological components incorporated in 3DP
devices is not addressed by the guideline.
Although several AM devices have been granted 510(k) FDA clearance [4], only one3DP
product, the antiepileptic Spritam
®
(levetiracetam), has been so far approved by the FDA
[5]. In the US, marketing authorisation applications for medicinal products are submitted
via the 505(b)(1), 505(b)(2), and 505(j) regulatory pathways, depending on whether:
a) they concern new drug substances supported by full studies on quality, safety, and
efficacy; b) a combination of full investigations and studies not conducted by or for the
applicant and the applicant has not obtained the right to refer to; or c) generic drugs [6].
Spritam
®
(levetiracetam) is an orodispersible tablet for the treatment of epilepsy licensed
to Aprecia Pharmaceuticals. As stated above, it was the first medicinal product manufac-
tured by 3DP technology to receive a marketing authorisation by the US FDA. Spirtam
®
tablets are manufactured using the ZipDose technology, a platform developed by Aprecia
which uses binder jetting 3DP, to create a porous, rapidly disintegrating formulation, with-
out a compression step, formed in a one-piece layer [7, 8]. Spritam tablets are appropriate
for people with swallowing difficulties as the tablets disintegrate in the mouth [9], which
makes formulations using this technology ideal for the paediatric population.
In 2018, Health Canada published its first draft on a Guidance document on Supporting
Evidence for Implantable Medical Devices Manufactured by 3DP, the final version of which
was adopted in 2019. The guidance provides an overview of the 3DP process and informa-
tion on the extent of data required as evidence on aspects like device design parameters,
safety and effectiveness standards, labelling, and process validation to support the licensing
of Class III and Class IV applications for devices manufactured by AM processes [10].
In June 2020, the UK regulator, Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
(MHRA), published a Guidance on 3DP of medical device or component parts during the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Depending on the 3DP product being characterised as a
device or a personal protective equipment (PPE), the requirements of the Medical Devices
Directive/Regulations or PPE Regulation 2016/425 respectively must be met [11]. To support
increased manufacture of products at the point where a patient receives it, the MHRA is
developing a new point-of-care (POC) regulatory framework which ‘seeks to balance
https://t.me/med1917

regulatory requirements for the control of these products to ensure levels of safety equivalent
to current products while avoiding unnecessary regulatory barriers by adapting regulatory
requirement’ [12]. 3DP products are included within the product range covered by the POC
regulatory framework. Between August and September 2021, the MHRA carried out a
consultation inviting businesses, individuals, or representative bodies to respond to specific
questions raised. The consultation survey closed on 23 September 2021 and its conclusions
will be used to identify regulatory changes that are required to support POC manufacturing.
In the EU, no unique legal framework for the regulation of 3DP medicinal products
and medical devices is in place. 3DP medical devices are regulated by the EU Regulation
on Medical Devices 2017/745ʹ (MDR) or the EU Regulation on In Vitro Diagnostic
Medical Devices 2017/746ʹ (IVDR), which came into place in 2022 and replaced the exist-
ing Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC) (MDD) and the Active Implantable Medical
Devices Directive (90/385/EEC) (AIMDD). In the EU, like all medicinal products, medi-
cines manufactured using AM are licensed based on the EC pharmaceutical Regulations
(e.g., Regulation (EC) No. 726/2004), the provisions of the EC pharmaceutical Directives
(e.g., 2001/83/EC and its amending Directives), the Notice to Applicants, European
Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines, and also according to each Member State’s national
guidelines, policy, and best practice. The quality, safety, and efficacy of all medicinal
products, including those using 3DP technology for such products to be licensed in the
EU, should be demonstrated. The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for human
use (CHMP), in collaboration with the national competent authorities of each Member
State, have developed a series of scientific guidelines to facilitate the interpretation of the
quality, safety, and efficacy principles as described in the Community Directives [13]. The
Guidelines cover quality, clinical efficacy and safety, and non-clinical aspects with the
Common Technical Document (eCTD) structure followed where possible. The eCTD is
the standard format for submitting regulatory information (e.g., applications, amendments,
supplements, and reports) to the concerned Heath Authorities.
The compilation also includes other related documents, such as reflection papers, public
statements, and questions and answers. EMA guidelines are harmonised through the
International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of
Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, the scope of which since its formation in 1990 has been to
bring together the regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical industry to discuss scientific and
technical aspects of pharmaceuticals [14]. In terms of their quality, 3DP medicinal products
are expected to follow all stability requirements for the drug substance and product as stated
in the ICH Q1A-1F, with analytical methods appropriately described and validated (ICH Q2),
impurities identified and qualified where appropriate (ICH Q3), and specifications appropri-
ate to the drug substance and type of formulation (ICH Q6A, B). ICH Q8-10 have set a new
quality paradigm where a risk-based enhanced approach based on the knowledge of product
development and quality risk management throughout the product’s lifecycle is followed.
11.3 Quality Aspects of 3D-Printed Medicinal Products
The required standards for a safe, effective, and medicinal product of appropriate quality
for the treatment and prevention of diseases remain the same, regardless of the technology
used to produce the medicinal product. Therefore, the intended use of the pharmaceu-
tical product and targeted condition/treatment regimen must be considered for any 3DP

medicinal products. It is recognised that a risk-based regulatory approach is applied for
any new technology when limited experience is available for the innovation. Nevertheless,
the perceived challenges in regulatory uncertainty should not be a deterrent for advancing
pharmaceutical technologies to help enhance patient care.
The principle of Quality by Design (QbD) and knowledge of the design space are still
applicable for 3DP pharmaceuticals as in the case of conventional oral dosage forms.
Process understanding and monitoring are considered critical for the success of 3DP in
pharmaceuticals, particularly when the quality of the product is built into the system during
manufacturing. The ability to control the required critical process parameters (CPPs) at any
time during the production process, in order to meet the necessary specification or critical
quality attributes (CQAs) that define the Quality Target Product Profiles (QTTPs), is espe-
cially critical for point-of-care and personalised medicine manufacture, where the sample
size of the ‘production batch’ may be significantly smaller than the commercial batch size
(e.g., 100,000 tablets) of a conventional immediate-release dosage form often tested in
process validation studies. Regardless of whether the proposed 3DP product manufacturing
is made as a batch process or continuous manufacturing, the application of QbD in 3DP
product is particularly important.
The 3DP technologies that have been mainly used to produce drug delivery systems are
fused deposition modelling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA, aka vat photopolymerisation),
selective laser sintering (SLS), and binder jetting [15]. The majority of research articles on
3DP drug products focus on extrusion-based techniques such as the FDM, while binder
jetting, SLA, and SLS are used by approximately 10%, 2.5%, and 3% of developments as
per the research articles, respectively [16, 17]. The main reasons for the popularity of FDM
on 3DP of pharmaceuticals are its low cost, ability to fabricate hollow objects, and its ease
of use.
As fundamentally different processes are used for the 3DP of pharmaceuticals, the mate-
rial attributes and process parameters that may affect the drug product critical quality
attributes (CQAs) will differ significantly depending upon the 3DP process used. As per
the ICH Q8(R2) guideline, fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams are useful risk assessment tools,
as they can aid to identify potential variables which may have an impact on CQAs. A fish-
bone diagram for 3DP of pharmaceuticals by FDM is given in Figure 11.1.

Regulatory Aspects of 3D-Printed Medicinal Products 215
It is essential to understand the CPPs for the production of 3DP dosage forms and have
appropriate controls of these parameters. For instance, in conventional pharmaceutical
manufacturing of tablets, milling, granulation (wet or dry), and compression are care-
fully validated within the necessary processing and control range. Similarly for FDM, the
diameter and temperature of the extruder, thickness of the tablet to be printed per layer/
geometry, printing and extrusion speed, ratio of each additive employed, and the required
density of the produced tablet are all considered critical. The proposed prototype of the
3DP manufacturing process is generally based on the robust pharmaceutical developmen-
tal data gathered. Reference to ICH guideline Q8 (R2) on Pharmaceutical Development is
recommended.
Quality should be built-in or by design. In particular, the quality by testing approach is
not possible when the batch size of a 3DP product is relatively small, or where a bespoke
or patient-specific formulation is adopted or frequently adjusted. The potential of real-time
release of the product and continuous real-time quality assurance depend principally on the
ability of the system to monitor and adjust the operating conditions within the optimal
range in order to maintain the required CQAs and consistency in the production process by
minimising variability and thus mitigate the risks of manufacturing a defective product. By
adopting a robust pharmaceutical quality management system, the risks of any activities or
materials associated with the production of the product using the innovative manufacturing
process should be considered, as recommended in the ICH guideline Q10 on pharmaceuti-
cal quality systems.
To achieve this, a robust assessment of all variables should be undertaken and the vari-
ability of the process should be managed and controlled within the established design
space. An appropriate process analytical technology (PAT), perhaps integrated real-time
PAT into the DP technology, following QbD principle, is therefore useful to support AM.
The capability of having at-line, on-line, or in-line analysis during the manufacturing pro-
cess would enable development of a continuous and real-time product release that meets
the required finished product specifications.
To align with the concept of QbD and PAT, regulatory considerations of the Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) aspects were made a decade ago. The guideline on paramet-
ric release/real-time release testing (RTRT), Annex 15 and 17 of the EU GMP guidelines as
well as validation guidelines specifically relating to continuous validation, ICH Q8, Q9, and
Q10, were revised accordingly [19], which are also relevant for consideration for AM.
How could the finished product specifications be met simultaneously to facilitate real-
time release? Table 11.1 illustrates some of the commonly exploited techniques for analy-
sis of the required specification parameters for an oral dosage form manufactured using a
conventional process. Many of these analytical methods are considered as destructive tech-
niques employed following sampling of a specific batch of product.
However, non-destructive techniques that allow simultaneous testing during production
are desirable for 3DP pharmaceutical manufacture. In view of this, spectroscopic analytical
methods have been exploited as PAT tools for the characterisation of 3DP materials. This
includes infrared (IR), near-infrared (NIR), and Raman spectroscopy. IR spectroscopy is an
absorption technique based on the measurement of bond vibrations, while Raman is based
on scattering. There are different types of IR spectroscopy, such as Fourier-Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR), each with its own
mechanism of measurement and limitations. In general, the IR spectrum can confirm the
identity and concentration of the substance of interest in the sample. Therefore, it could
