Temperature Excursion and Cycling Studies
Temperature excursions during shipment can cause the recall of drug product lots, leading to delays in supply and loss of revenue. Data from a well-conducted temperature excursion and/or cycling study can be used to justify such excursions. There is currently no harmonised guidance dealing with the impact of temperature excursions during distribution or the effect of freeze/thaw cycles on liquids and semi-solids. This webinar reviews best practice in these areas.
Topics covered include:
- Overview of regulatory guidance
- Temperature excursion risks to physical and chemical product stability
- Evaluating possible excursions using supply chain knowledge
- Temperature excursion studies
- Thermal cycling studies
- Transportation control strategy
