Sterile Pharmaceutical Products

Sterile Pharmaceutical Products: Process Engineering Applications addresses the key concepts and applications of the sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. It covers elements of the design, installation, validation, and usage of critical processes associated with sterile product manufacture. From water systems to clean-in-place systems, to sterile powder handling and robotic applications in sterile production environments, this book addresses the issues of system implementation, integration, and operations. Written by recognized experts and peer reviewed for accuracy, all chapters include references to supplemental resources and numerous illustrations.

This comprehensive book encompasses various facets of sterile product development. Key concepts relevant to the successful development of sterile products are illustrated through case studies and are covered under three sections in this book: • Formulation approaches that discuss a variety of dosage forms including protein therapeutics, lipid-based controlled delivery systems, PEGylated biotherapeutics, nasal dosage form, and vaccines • Process, container closure and delivery considerations including freeze-thaw process challenges, best practices for technology transfer to enable commercial product development, innovations and advancement in aseptic fill-finish operations, approaches to manufacturing lyophilized parenteral products, pen / auto-injector delivery devices, and associated container closure integrity testing hurdles for sterile product closures • Regulatory and quality aspects in the areas of particulate matter and appearance evaluation, sterile filtration, admixture compatibility considerations, sterilization process considerations, microbial contamination investigations and validation of rapid microbiological methods, and dry and moist heat sterilizers This book is a useful resource to scientists and researchers in both industry and academia, and it gives process and product development engineers insight into current industry practices and evolving regulatory expectations for sterile product development.

Describes the methodologies and best practices of the sterile manufacture of drug products Thoroughly trained personnel and carefully designed, operated, and maintained facilities and equipment are vital for the sterile manufacture of medicinal products using aseptic processing. Professionals in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities must have a clear understanding of current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) and preapproval inspection (PAI) requirements. Sterile Processing of Pharmaceutical Products: Engineering Practice, Validation, and Compliance in Regulated Environments provides up-to-date coverage of aseptic processing techniques and sterilization methods. Written by a recognized expert with more than 20 years of industry experience in aseptic manufacturing, this practical resource illustrates a comprehensive approach to sterile manufacturing engineering that can achieve drug manufacturing objectives and goals. Topics include sanitary piping and equipment, cleaning and manufacturing process validation, computerized automated systems, personal protective equipment (PPE), clean-in-place (CIP) systems, barriers and isolators, and guidelines for statistical procedure. Offering authoritative guidance on the key aspects of sterile manufacturing engineering, this volume: Covers fundamentals of aseptic techniques, quality by design, risk assessment and management, and operational requirements Addresses various regulations and guidelines instituted by the FDA, ISPE, EMA, MHRA, and ICH Provides techniques for systematic process optimization and good manufacturing practice Emphasizes the importance of attention to detail in process development and validation Features real-world examples highlighting different aspects of drug manufacturing Sterile Processing of Pharmaceutical Products: Engineering Practice, Validation, and Compliance in Regulated Environments is an indispensable reference and guide for all chemists, chemical engineers, pharmaceutical professionals and engineers, and other professionals working in pharmaceutical sciences and manufacturing.

No other area of regulatory compliance receives more attention and scrutiny by regulatory authorities than the regulation of sterile products, for obvious reasons. With the increasing number of potent products, particularly the new line of small protein products, joining the long list of proven sterile products, the technology of manufacturing ster
