Compatibility and In-Use Stability Studies for Injectables: A Cross-Functional Discussion with CMC, Analytics, and Clinical Experts

Ensuring the in-use stability of injectable drug products as well as the compatibility with materials for administration is crucial for product quality and patient safety. Despite this importance, there is a lack of clear regulatory guidance on the design of in-use stability and compatibility studies for early phase studies. This forces both manufacturers and healthcare practitioners to adopt a pragmatic approach.
 
In this webinar, experts from Ardena and DataRevive will provide insights into the regulatory landscape for in-use stability studies of injectables and explore relevant WHO, EMA, FDA, and USP guidelines. This comprehensive overview will be followed by a discussion of the main parameters needed to design IV compatibility and in-use studies suitable for early phase clinical trials. A cross-functional perspective which encompasses clinical aspects, regulatory aspects, and analytics will be provided. The webinar will also cover case studies, providing attendees with practical examples of how to tackle different scenarios.
 
This webinar will equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the latest approaches and considerations for designing and executing in-use and compatibility studies for injectables for Phase I and II clinical trials. They will also gain an appreciation of the key regulatory requirements and challenges in this field and learn how to approach different scenarios through case studies. Attendees will acquire practical knowledge to ensure the quality and safety of injectable drugs during administration.
