  • 1. School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab (India)

Description

In 2004 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as part of the Process Analytical Technology Guidance,
introduced the idea of Quality by Design (QbD). The core objective was to design quality into the process and
product rather than try to check quality of the product at the end of production. It has been known since long time
that “quality by testing” is a low-yield and costly strategy. ICH, in 2005, outlined the concept of design space in its
Q8 guideline related to development of pharmaceuticals. Since that time, pharmaceutical companies, despite
depending on innovation for their livelihood, have been adopting QbD for new drug applications (NDA) and as
well as for Abbreviated New Drug applications (ANDA). In nutshell it has been observed that, now QbD is
becoming mainstay of development of pharmaceutical products.
