Stability Studies,
Stability Indicating, and
Methods Degradates
The stability program ensures product quality, safety, and efcacy meet throughout
the shelf life. This is considered a prerequisite for the acceptance and approval of any
pharmaceutical product. These studies must be conducted and planned following the
guidelines issued by regulated authorities.
Stability testing provides evidence of how a drug substance or product’s quality
varies with time under the inuence of various environmental factors such as temper-
ature, humidity, and light. It also establishes a re-test period for the drug substance or
shelf life for the drug product and recommended storage conditions.
In a stability program, products are kept under certain conditions in a chamber.
This chamber is validated for temperature and humidity.
The stability studies are pulled on certain time points and tested. The documented
stability proves that products are stable up to a certain time under a certain condition.
Stability also provides the expiry of products.
STABILITY
Stability is dened as “The capacity of a drug product to remain within specications
established to ensure its identity, strength, quality, and purity”.
EXPIRY DATE
The date placed on the container/labels of a drug product designates the time during
which a batch of the product is expected to remain within approved stability speci-
cations if stored under dened conditions.
SHELF LIFE
The time interval that a drug product is expected to remain within approved stability
specication if it is stored under the conditions dened on the label in the proposed
container/closure system.
ACCELERATED TESTING
Studies conducted under dened conditions for temperature and humidity are
designed to increase the rate of chemical degradation or physical change of a drug

substance or drug product by using exaggerated storage conditions as part of the
formal stability studies.
LONG TERM TESTING
Stability studies under the recommended storage conditions for the retest or shelf life
proposed (or approved) for labelling.
BRACKETING
The design of the stability schedule so that at any time point, only the samples on
the extremes (e.g., container size and/or dosage strengths) are tested. The design
assumes that those at the extremes represent the stability of the intermediate condi-
tion samples. Where a range of dosage strengths is to be tested, bracketing designs
may be particularly applicable if the strengths are very closely related in composition
(e.g., tablet range made with different compression weights of a similar basic granu-
lation, or a capsule range made by lling different plug ll weights of the same basic
composition into different size capsule shells). Where a range of sizes of immediate
containers is to be evaluated, bracketing designs may be applicable if the material
composition of the container and type of closure are the same throughout the range.
MATRIXING
The statistical design of a stability schedule so that only a fraction of the total number
of samples are tested at any specied test point. At a subsequent test point, different
sets of samples of the total number would be tested. This design assumes that the
stability of the samples tested represents the stability of all samples. In every case,
all batches must be tested initially and at the end of the long-term testing (at expiry).
The differences in the samples for the same drug product should be identied as,
for example, covering different batches, different strengths, and different sizes of
the same container/closure system and possibly, in some cases, different container/
closure systems. Matrixing can cover reduced testing when more than one variable is
being evaluated, and, hence, the design of the matrix will be dictated by the factors
to be covered and evaluated. This plan works well for those products with moderate
stability and small variability in the stability data. It is desirable to discuss the design
with regulatory authorities in advance and the Matrixing proposal should be submit-
ted in a pre-approval supplement.
ACCELERATED STUDIES
Accelerated studies are tested for up to six months.
Accelerated testing of the drug substance helps identify degradation products,
which can help to establish the degradation pathways and validate the stability using
the analytical procedures used.
Stress testing is likely to be carried out on a single batch of the drug substance. It
should include the effect of temperatures (in 10°C increments (e.g., 50°C, 60°C, etc.)
https://t.me/med1917
184 Basics of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Quality Operations
above that for accelerated testing), humidity (e.g., 75% RH or greater) where appro-
priate, oxidation, and photolysis on the drug substance.
Examining degradation products under stress conditions is helpful in establishing
degradation pathways and developing and validating suitable analytical procedures.
However, it may not be necessary to examine specically for certain degradation
products if it has been demonstrated that they are not formed under accelerated or
long-term storage conditions.
Results from these studies can be provided to regulatory authorities to register the
product.
SELECTION OF BATCHES
Data from accelerated stability studies can be provided on at least three primary
batches of the drug substance. The batches should be manufactured to a minimum
pilot scale by the same procedure and using a method of manufacture and procedure
that simulates the nal process to be used for production batches. The quality of the
batches of the drug substance placed on formal stability studies should represent the
quality of the material to be made on a production scale.
CONTAINER CLOSURE SYSTEM
The stability studies should be conducted on the drug substance packaged in a con-
tainer closure system that is the same as the packaging proposed for storage and sale.
TESTING FREQUENCY
For long-term studies, the frequency of testing should be sufcient to establish the
stability prole of the drug substance. For drug substances with a proposed testing
period of at least 12 months, the frequency of testing under the long-term storage
condition should usually be every three months over the rst year, every six months
over the second year, and annually thereafter through the proposed re-test period.
Under the accelerated storage condition, a minimum of three-time points, includ-
ing the initial and nal time points (e.g., zero, three, and six months), from a six-month
study is recommended.
If accelerated stability fails, intermediate storage studies are activated.
When testing under the intermediate storage condition is called for as a result of
signicant change under the accelerated storage condition, a minimum of four time
points, including the initial and nal time points (e.g., 0, 6, 9, 12 months), from a
12-month study is recommended.
STABILITY STORAGE CONDITIONS
The environment into which stability batches are placed for storage is known as Stability
Storage Conditions. The conditions are controlled and monitored to maintain predeter-
mined temperature, relative humidity, and/or light settings within allowable tolerances.
https://t.me/med1917
185Stability Studies, Stability Indicating, and Methods Degradates
A documented plan to monitor and establish how the quality of a nished drug
product may vary over time under the inuence of environmental factors, including
temperature, humidity, and light, is known as a stability program.
Generally, a drug substance should be evaluated under storage conditions (with
appropriate tolerances) that test its thermal stability and, if applicable, its sensitivity
to moisture. The storage conditions and the lengths of studies chosen should be suf-
cient to cover the storage, shipment, and subsequent use.
The long-term testing should cover a minimum of 12 months on at least three
primary batches at the time of submission and should be continued for some time
sufcient to cover the proposed re-test period. Data from the accelerated storage
condition and, if appropriate, from the intermediate storage condition can be used to
evaluate the effect of short-term excursions outside the label storage conditions (such
as might occur during shipping).
STABILITY CHAMBERS
Stability samples are placed in stability chambers. Stability chambers are designed
to maintain certain humidity and temperature.
The typical temperatures and humidity are as follows:
LONG‑TERM STUDIES
25ºC ± 2ºC/60% RH ± 5% RH or 30ºC ± 2 ºC/65% RH ± 5% RH, for 12 months.
INTERMEDIATE STUDIES
30ºC ± 2 ºC/65% RH ± 5% RH, for six months.
Accelerated studies: 40ºC ± 2ºC/75% RH ± 5% RH, for six months
STABILITY COMMITMENT
When available long-term stability data on primary batches do not cover the pro-
posed re-test period granted at the time of approval, a commitment should be made
to continue the stability studies post-approval in order to rmly establish the re-test
period.
Where the submission includes long-term stability data on three production
batches covering the proposed re-test period, a post-approval commitment is con-
sidered unnecessary. Otherwise, one of the following commitments should be
made:
If the submission includes data from stability studies on at least three pro-
duction batches, a commitment should be made to continue these studies
through the proposed re-test period.
If the submission includes data from stability studies on fewer than three pro-
duction batches, a commitment should be made to continue these studies
https://t.me/med1917
186 Basics of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Quality Operations
through the proposed re-test period and to place additional production
batches, to a total of at least three, on long term stability studies through the
proposed retest period.
If the submission does not include stability data on production batches, a
commitment should be made to place the rst three production batches on
long-term stability studies through the proposed re-test period.
EVALUATION
The purpose of the stability study is to establish, based on testing a minimum of
three batches of the drug substance and evaluating the stability information (includ-
ing, as appropriate, results of the physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological
tests), a re-test period applicable to all future batches of the drug substance manu-
factured under similar circumstances. The degree of variability of individual batches
affects the condence that a future production batch will remain within specication
throughout the assigned re-test period.
The data may show so little degradation and so little variability that it is appar-
ent from looking at the data that the requested re-test period will be granted. Under
these circumstances, it is normally unnecessary to go through the formal statistical
analysis; providing a justication for the omission should be sufcient.
An approach for analyzing the data on a quantitative attribute expected to change
with time is to determine the time at which the 95% one-sided condence limit for
the mean curve intersects the acceptance criterion. If the analysis shows that the
batch-to-batch variability is small, it is advantageous to combine the data into one
overall estimate. This can be done by rst applying appropriate statistical tests (e.g.,
p values for the level of signicance of rejection of more than 0.25) to the slopes of
the regression lines and zero-time intercepts for the individual batches. If it is inap-
propriate to combine data from several batches, the overall re-test period should be
based on the minimum time a batch can be expected to remain within acceptance
criteria.
The nature of any degradation relationship will determine whether the data should
be transformed for linear regression analysis. Usually, the relationship can be repre-
sented by a linear, quadratic, or cubic function on an arithmetic or logarithmic scale.
Statistical methods should be employed to test the goodness of t of the data on all
batches and combined batches (where appropriate) to the assumed degradation line
or curve.
Limited extrapolating of the real-time data from the long-term storage condition
beyond the observed range to extend the re-test period can be undertaken at approval
time if justied. This justication should be based on what is known about the mech-
anism of degradation, the results of testing under accelerated conditions, the good-
ness of t of any mathematical model, batch size, the existence of supporting stability
data, etc. However, this extrapolation assumes that the same degradation relationship
will continue to apply beyond the observed data.
Any evaluation should cover not only the assay but also the levels of degradation
products and other appropriate attributes.

STATEMENTS/LABELING
A storage statement should be established for the labelling in accordance with rel-
evant national/regional requirements. The statement should be based on the stability
evaluation of the drug substance. Where applicable, specic instructions should be
provided, particularly for drug substances that cannot tolerate freezing. The terms
“ambient conditions” or “room temperature” should be avoided.
A re-test period should be derived from the stability information, and a retest date
should be displayed on the container label if appropriate.
STABILITY PROTOCOL
A stability protocol is written and approved by management.
A typical stability protocol consists of the following sections.
• Product and strength.
•
Packaging size
•
Product manufacturer.
•
Number of batches to be placed on study.
• Tests to be performed.
•
Testing frequency.
• Storage conditions.
•
Expiration Date.
• Details of the validated method.
•
Acceptable/approved limits for each test.
STABILITY‑INDICATING METHOD
A stability-indicating method (SIM method) can be dened as a “Validated quantita-
tive analytical method that can detect the change with time in the chemical, physical
or microbiological properties of the drug substance and drug products are specic
so that the content of active ingredients and degradation products can be accurately
measured without interference”.
When analyzing a fresh product for release the product is fresh. With a period, the
product starts to degrade. The active drug starts to convert into related compounds.
So the SIM method must be capable of analyzing those degrades. Those compounds
must be identied, their toxicity must be evaluated, and the limit of those related
compounds must be specied.
The product is treated to some drastic conditions to break the active in related
compounds.
This process is called force degradation or stress studies.
FORCE DEGRADATION
Forced degradation/stress testing is dened as “the stability testing of the drug
substance and drug product under conditions exceeding those used for accelerated
https://t.me/med1917
188 Basics of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Quality Operations
stability testing”. Degradation can be achieved by exposing the drug, for an extended
period, to extremes of pH (HCl or NaOH solutions of different strengths), at elevated
temperature, to hydrogen peroxide at room temperature, to UV light, and to dry heat
(in an oven) to achieve degradation to the extent of 5%–20%. Generally, trial and
error experimentation are used during these experiments.
