Purpose of Stability Testing
 To provide evidence on how the quality of a
drug substance or drug product varies with
time under the influence of a variety of
environmental factors (such as temperature,
humidity, light, package)
 To establish a re-test period for the drug
substance or an expiration date (shelf life) for
the drug product
 To recommend storage conditions
3
Typical Design
 Randomly select containers/dosage units at
time of manufacture, minimum of 3 batches,
stored at specified conditions.
 At specified times 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36,
48, 60 months, randomly select dosage units
and perform assay on composite samples
 Basic Factors : Batch, Strength, Storage
Condition, Time, Package
 Additional Factors: Position, Drug Substance
Lot, Supplier, Manufacturing Site

Accelerated Stability Testing
 Product is subjected to stress conditions.
 Temperature and humidity are the most
common stress factors.
 Purpose is to predict long term stability and
shelf life.
 Arrhenius equation captures the kinetic
relationship between rates and temperature.
The usual fixed and mixed models ignore any
relationship between rate and temperature.

Laureate in Chemistry) who established a

rates of chemical reaction

Linearized Arrhenius Mixed Model
To summarize, the (Garrett, 1955) algorithm:
1) Fit a zero-order kinetic model by batch and
and temperature level.
2) Estimate t90 and its standard error from each
zero-order kinetic model.
3) Fit a linear (mixed) model to log(t90) on the
reciprocal of Temperature(Kelvin scale).
4) Shelf life for a given temperature level is
estimated from the model in step 3.

Comparison Between the Three
Approaches
 Linear Mixed Model
 Loses information contained in the Arrhenius
relationship when it is valid
 Linearized Arrhenius Model (Garrett)
 Simple and does not require specialized
software
 Not clear how to estimate shelf life in relation to
ICH guideline
 Ignores heteroscedasticity in the error terms
 Difficult to interpret the random effect
 Nonlinear Model (King-Kung-Fung)
 Computationally intensive
 Computing convergence issues

Summary
 King-Kung-Fung model is a practical way to
characterize multiple isothermal stability profiles
and has been shown to be extended easily to a
nonlinear mixed model context.
 Bayesian method permits integration of expert
scientific judgment in characterizing the stability
property of a pharmaceutical compound.
 The Bayesian credible interval can be interpreted
in a probabilistic way and provides a more natural
meaning to shelf life compared with the
frequentist repeated sampling definition.
 The problem of determining the appropriate
degrees of freedom in mixed modeling is
eliminated by Bayesian method.
 Bayesian method is flexible and can be easily
applied to a wide family of distributions.
