S 4.5 Justification of Specification

Hard Copy Location/Pages: Module 3 Pg 66-70
E-Copy Location/File Name: CD 03/ S4.pdf

Test Justification of Specifications
Appearance Visual inspection allows for identification & detection of possible
defects
Impurities
The acceptance criteria applied is based on: 1) the maximum content
of impurities found in the batches used during the development for
toxicology studies and in the intentionally degraded and spiked batch
No. FE 349 used to qualify the impurities (Information located in
3.2.S.3.2.) 2) the qualification level of each impurity.
Assay The HPLC weight percent assay specification of 98.5-101.0% was
established from a review of the release data generated to date and
from consideration of the assay variability. The weight percent
release results ranged from 98.5% to 100.7% in the batch data. The
specification of 98.5-101.0% by weight describes the consistently
high quality of the drug substance and allows for typical analytical
variability.
Other tests Comply with USP requirements.

P 5.6 Justification of Specification(s)

Hard Copy Location/Pages: Module 3 Pg 196-200
E-Copy Location/File Name: CD 03/ P5.pdf

Test Justification of Specifications
Appearance Visual inspection allows for identification & detection of possible
defects
Identification
Two identification tests carried out routinely: HPLC and infrared
spectrum. Although the retention times obtained from HPLC may not
be regarded as being specific, the combination of infrared spectrum
with it is sufficient and acceptable to identify the drug substance
without ambiguity.
Impurities
The acceptance criteria applied is based on: 1) the maximum content
of impurities found in the batches used during the development for
toxicology studies and in the intentionally degraded and spiked batch
No. FE 250 used to qualify the impurities 2) the qualification level of
each impurity.
Assay The HPLC weight percent assay specification was established from
a review of the release and stability data generated to date and from
consideration of the assay variability. The specification describes
the consistently high quality of the drug product and allows for
typical analytical variability.
