Change is a natural part of the lifecycle of any pharmaceutical product. This can include transitions to a new manufacturing site, updates to equipment, changes in processes, or reformulation of excipients. However, it’s crucial that these changes do not compromise the product’s quality, safety, or efficacy.
This is where Comparability Studies come into play.
At MedPharm, we design and implement comparability protocols to rigorously evaluate the impact of manufacturing or formulation changes on your drug product. Our specialized expertise in semisolid and topical formulations ensures that any changes are data-supported, maintaining product consistency, compliance, and regulatory approval.
Comparability assessments are essential whenever changes could potentially affect the product’s critical quality attributes (CQAs). Common triggers for these assessments include:
Without proper comparability data, even well-intentioned changes can result in delays in approvals or lead to regulatory challenges. MedPharm helps ensure that your modifications are scientifically justified and comply with regulatory requirements.
Our Comparability Studies are grounded in regulatory guidelines (such as ICH Q8/Q9/Q10) and align with the expectations of regulatory agencies like the FDA and EMA. We provide:
Change doesn’t have to equate to risk. With MedPharm’s expertise in comparability, you can adapt your processes or supply chain while ensuring the integrity of your product remains intact.
Let’s focus on what truly matters—ensuring your product continues to deliver results.
