                                             第一部分——背景

    《联邦食品、药品和化妆品法案》(FD&C 法案)规定,FDA 可批准 NDA 或
    ANDA,前提是除其他要求外,用于药品生产、加工、包装和检验的方法以及所用设施和控制
    被认定足以确保并保持其鉴别、强度、质量和纯度。5 在某些情况下,FDA 可批准
    申请而无需对生产申请产品的设施进行检查
    (例如,该设施具有良好的 CGMP 合规历史,申请产品不属于该设施的新
    产品类别,该设施在所采用的生产方法方面有成功的历史)。
    2002 年,FDA 宣布了一项名为“21 世纪药品 CGMP”的重要倡议,
    以加强和现代化对药品生产和产品质量的监管。6 该
    倡议鼓励实施基于风险和科学的方法,使 FDA 的关注
    聚焦于关键领域,以促进监管机构做出更好、更一致的决策。根据
    该倡议,本批准后合规计划包括基于科学和风险的
    方法,用于检查企业的生产工艺、产品理解和质量
    控制;确保产品生命周期内的质量;评估企业的生产
    能力;以及核实申请数据的真实性及对已批准
    申请承诺的符合性。
    2017 年,CDER 和 ORA 签订了 ConOps 协议《FDA 人用药品设施评估
    与检查计划整合:运营概念》,其中概述了 CDER 和 ORA 在人用药品设施评估及批准前、
    批准后、监督和因由检查方面的角色和
    职责。参与本
    合规计划的 FDA 各组成部分——CDER 的 OPQ 和合规办公室(OC)、ORA 以及 FDA
    实验室——致力于协调努力和沟通,以解决未决
    质量问题。本批准后检查合规计划与该协议一致。
    为了以更可预测和高效的方式促进批准后化学、生产和控制(CMC)
    变更的管理,FDA 于 2021 年发布了国际人用药品注册技术协调会
    (ICH)行业指南 Q12《药品产品生命周期管理的技术和监管考量》
    及其附件,以及行业指南草案
    ICH Q12:《FDA 监管产品的实施考量》(ICH Q12 实施
    指南)。7 当与增加的产品和工艺知识结合使用——并在
    ICH 行业指南 Q9(R1)《质量风险管理》中的风险管理原则以及 ICH 行业
    指南 Q10《药品质量体系》所述的有效药品质量体系(PQS)的
    背景下——这些指南文件应增强行业
    在实施前减少对广泛监管监督需求的情况下有效管理 CMC 变更的
    能力。

    例如,对既定条件(EC)——为确保产品质量而认为必要的具有法律约束力的信息——的任何变更,均需按法规(如 21 CFR 314.70 和 314.97)的详细规定向 FDA 提交(PAS、CBE-30、CBE-0 或年度报告)。8 尽管这些法规并未明确规定什么构成 EC,但它们确实提出了一种基于风险的变更报告范式。此外,现有的 FDA 关于批准后变更的指南文件为如何报告广泛的批准后变更提供了建议。9 ICH Q12 及 ICH Q12 实施指南为申请人提供了一个机会,使其能够具体界定 EC,并明确其申请中的产品、生产工艺、设施与设备以及控制策略中哪些要素被视为 EC,从而在变更时需要报告。在申请中提出 EC 完全是自愿的。如果未提出具体的 EC,则 EC 将是那些(例如,参数、属性、控制、质量标准、设施以及为确保产品质量所必需的其他要素)FDA 根据法规中规定的基于风险的范式以及指南中关于批准后变更的建议通常视为 EC 的内容。
    申请中识别的任何 EC,以及针对这些 EC 变更所提出的任何报告类别,均由综合质量评估(IQA)团队中的 CDER 成员进行评估。在评估具体 EC 和报告类别时,IQA 团队将考虑可能需要在批准后检查中涵盖的领域,例如关于将实施这些 EC 的场所的 PQS 的信息,以及申请人的科学论证,其中可包括开发研究。例如,ICH Q10 中所述的有效 PQS 对于使用 ICH Q12 中所述的工具至关重要。作为 PQS 的一部分,对企业变更管理系统的评估有助于确保对 EC 变更进行适当的报告,包括报告与任何批准后变更管理方案(PACMP)以及产品生命周期管理(PLCM)文件(如果在申请中提交)保持一致。根据 ICH Q12,PACMP 是监管工具,其(1)描述申请人打算在产品生命周期的商业阶段实施的 CMC 变更;(2)提出实施产品变更所需的要求和研究;(3)确定需满足的具体条件和可接受标准;(4)解释变更将如何准备和验证,包括评估拟议变更的影响;以及(5)建议通知 FDA 的报告类别。FDA 将 PACMP 称为可比性方案,其可独立于原始申请或补充申请中任何先前的 EC 识别而提交。10 在所有情况下,变更均须按照 CGMP 要求适当识别和实施。




    8
      PAS=事先批准补充申请;CBE=变更即刻生效。

      参见,例如,FDA 的放大和批准后变更(SUPAC)指南以及行业指南《对特定生物技术产品和特定合成生物产品的已批准申请的变更》《对已批准 NDA 或 ANDA 的变更》《需在年度报告中记录的 CMC 批准后生产变更》以及《NDA、ANDA 或 BLA 中化学、生产和控制信息的批准后变更可比性方案》。
    10
       可比性方案与 21 CFR 314.70(e) 和 601.12(e) 中定义的方案同义。参见行业指南《NDA、ANDA 或 BLA 中化学、生产和控制信息的批准后变更可比性方案》。

    此外,为配合 FDA 加强药品生产和产品质量监管的举措,FDA 开发了更多工具以加强其监管监督。由于 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)公共卫生紧急事件,FDA 依靠各种替代工具来推进其监管职责。这可能包括以下内容:(1) 通过互认协议(MRA)和其他保密协议,向可信赖的外国监管伙伴索取现有检查报告;11 以及 (2) 开展远程监管评估(RRA),12 包括 (a) 根据《联邦食品、药品和化妆品法案》第 704(a)(4) 条,直接向设施和其他被检查实体索取与申请相关的记录和其他信息,以及 (b) 在适当情况下开展远程互动评估(RIE)。如相关机构政策和本合规计划(包括附件 A)中进一步所述,FDA 在某些情况下可使用这些工具来评估设施并支持对申请的监管决定。




    11
       对于 FDA 与欧盟和英国现有的 MRA,这包括使用认可机构签发的官方检查报告,适用于位于签发机构领土内外的生产设施。更多信息,请参见 https://www.fda.gov/international-programs/international-arrangements/mutual-
    recognition-agreement-mra。
    12
       RRA 是对 FDA 监管的机构及/或其记录进行的完全远程审查,以评估其是否符合适用的 FDA 要求。RRA 有助于保护人类健康、为监管决定提供信息,并核实向该机构提交的某些信息。

                                            第二部分——实施

    1. 范围

    ORA 与 CDER 依据本合规计划共同对已上市药品进行评估,这些药品根据已批准的 NDA 或 ANDA 或其相关 API(以下简称受
    监管药品)生产。13 上市后检查与批准前检查(PAI)相似,均针对具体产品,但与 PAI 不同的是,上市后检查在申请获批后进行。
    受监管药品的上市后检查由 ORA 牵头,CDER 可选择参与。
    上市后检查侧重于工艺验证生命周期、变更管理、提交至申请的变更,以及按照申请承诺和
    CGMP 要求执行支持性活动。14
    本合规计划为检查覆盖范围提供基于风险的策略,并
    明确各方角色以建立高效沟通。
    CDER 利用上市后检查的信息更新受监管药品的生命周期风险概况,或
    确定监管措施。

    2. 策略

         A. 上市后检查的基于风险判定

    IQA 团队 15 采用基于风险的方法进行产品质量评估,包括设施
    评估,以及在认为必要时对申请中所列生产设施进行检查。在上市申请审评和批准期间,IQA 团队评估
    有关产品、工艺和设施的潜在风险,并确定是否需要进行上市后
    检查。此类判定基于可表明潜在设施相关风险的全部信息。在此类情况下,ORA 批准前计划经理
    (PAM)将通过 OPMA 上市后计划邮箱
    ([email protected])与 OPMA 协商,以与 IQA 团队协调并确认需要
    进行上市后检查。若 IQA 团队或 ORA PAM 基于其对申请产品的风险评估,未发现任何产品质量方面的潜在关注,则

    13
       在本合规计划中,术语 API 与原料药同义。
    14
       对于 (a) PET 药品,参见 21 CFR 第 212 部分及合规计划 7356.002P——正电子发射
    断层扫描(PET)CGMP 药品工艺及批准前检查/调查;(b) 药品,参见 21
    CFR 第 210 和 211 部分;(c) 生物制品,参见 21 CFR 第 210、211、600 和 610 部分;(d) 一般 API,参见
    ICH 行业指南 Q7《活性药用成分药品生产质量管理规范指南》中的建议;以及 (e) 按合规计划 7356.002A——无菌药品工艺
    检查标注为无菌的 API,参见 21 CFR 第 210 和 211 部分。
    15 就本合规计划而言,IQA 团队指由指定的主题专家团队(例如,

    原料药审评员、药品审评员、生物药剂学审评员、生产审评员、ORA 批准前
    计划经理或按需指定的代表)组成,其被指派评估申请提交(即
    原始申请或其上市后提交)的质量方面。根据需要,它还可能包括其他角色。参见 ConOps
    协议。

    生产工艺以及申请中指定的设施,可能不需要对该设施进行产品特定的上市后
    检查。
    视情况,OPMA 将根据产品、药物类别和剂型的综合风险,并基于工艺和
    设施方面的考虑,在 IQA 团队建议的任务之外确定额外任务。
    此项工作的总体目的是确认产品质量问题对患者造成的风险已降至最低。
    上市后检查的需求可在申请批准之前以及之后确定。例如:
           • 在申请批准之前,IQA 团队可能预计在放大和持续商业化生产期间产品质量
               变异性风险增加,并决定可能需要上市后检查,以替代或补充 PAI。在这些情况下,
               IQA 生产评估文件或 Panorama Inspection View 中 OPMA 的最终建议应表明
               应执行上市后检查。
           • 在某些情况下,PAI 期间可能出现需要由未来上市后检查解决的关注事项。
           • 在申请批准之后,OPMA 在制定上市后检查候选名单时评估来自多个来源的
               信息。来源可包括已完成的 IQA 生产评估、OPQ 质量监督办公室(OQS)
               关于场点药品质量状态的评估(例如场点档案),以及上市后申报中描述的
               任何变更。

           B. 按目标检查

    上市后检查有四个主要的产品特定目标,每个目标都需要考虑潜在风险和已识别
    关注事项的策略:
           1. 目标 1:工艺验证生命周期与控制状态
               确认有高度保证,商业化生产工艺处于控制状态,并持续生产出符合适用
               的鉴别、含量、质量和纯度要求的目标药品。16 确保企业的
               生产工艺、控制策略、检验方法以及目标药品的工艺性能和产品质量
               监测系统设计良好、已实施、视情况已验证,并在产品生命周期内按需
               得到确认。
           2. 目标 2:调查与纠正和预防措施(CAPA)计划
               确定与目标药品及相关工艺和设备相关的调查和 CAPA 是否已使用
               质量风险管理作为支持持续改进的推动因素,得到彻底评估和有效实施。

        3. Objective 3: Change Management, Change Effectiveness, and Conformance to the
           Application and Other Postmarketing Reports and Requirements
            Determine whether implemented changes in the product, process, components, equipment,
            and/or facility associated with the subject drug were implemented effectively using quality
            risk management as an enabler in support of continual improvement. Verify that the subject
            drug is being manufactured in accordance with the approved application or active drug
            master file (DMF) referenced in the approved application, including filed postapproval
            changes. Confirm that the firm is fulfilling or is on track to fulfill commitments (e.g.,
            providing additional stability data) made at the time of approval (of an original application or
            in subsequent submissions) and is meeting drug quality reporting requirements in a timely
            manner.
        4. Objective 4: Integrity of Product Quality Data
            Audit manufacturing controls, test results, and the related raw data for starting materials, in-
            process materials, and batches of the subject drug. Ensure that the test and production data
            are authentic, computed correctly, accurate, and documented per CGMP and that they
            support the associated decisions by the firm, application submissions, and lifecycle changes.
    For details on inspectional and auditing techniques related to these objectives, refer to Part
    III―Inspectional.

    3. Program Management Instructions

        A. Facility Selection

    OPMA selects a subject drug and associated manufacturing facilities as described in Part II.2.A—
    Risk-Based Determination for Postapproval Inspections. OPMA ensures that the manufacturing
    facility selected for postapproval inspection, including a facility named in a referenced DMF, is still
    named in an approved drug application. OPMA should, to the extent possible, confirm that the drug
    product is marketed using the Electronic Drug Registration and Listing System (eDRLS), Online
    Reporting Analysis Decision Support System (ORADSS), and the OQS site dossier, which may
    contain information useful for this determination.

        B. Postapproval Inspection Assignment Requests

    OPMA issues postapproval inspection assignment requests to the ORA Pharmaceutical Assignment
    mailbox ([email protected]) and the appropriate ORA division manager or
    ORA PAM. OPMA summarizes product and process knowledge from the application and identifies
    and advises on onsite coverage of potential risks to and concerns for product and process, which the
    investigator can use to develop an inspection plan.
    These assignment requests could involve multiple applications for one facility, with different
    degrees of coverage of the four objectives. Reasons for the assignment could include the level of
    manufacturing experience, risk factors that apply to two or more subject drugs, and an efficient use
    of resources by covering multiple applications at one inspection, among others.

                                                                          PROGRAM            7356.843


    Postapproval inspection assignments should include the selection rationale, a product risk
    assessment based on the original application and postapproval submissions thereto, and the criteria
    for choosing applications, as necessary.
    OPMA expects postapproval inspection assignments to be covered by ORA field personnel as part of
    ORA’s work plan for the fiscal year. Resources allocated under PAC 56843 are intended for this
    compliance program. ORA notifies OPMA via the OPMA Postapproval Program mailbox
    ([email protected]) if ORA will be unable to complete an assignment
    because of competing priorities.
    ORA may find that the selected application product has not been marketed and may find a more
    suitable application product for postapproval inspection coverage. In these situations, ORA can
    exercise discretion and select a different application for postapproval inspection coverage than that
    assigned. However, ORA should coordinate with OPMA before making any such changes in
    assignment. A postapproval inspection may be combined with other programs or for-cause
    inspections as necessary for efficient inspection coverage. A systems-based CGMP surveillance
    inspection per compliance program 7356.002 may be added as per program management
    instructions. ORA should send concerns, problems, or objections regarding the assignment request to
    the OPMA Postapproval Program mailbox ([email protected]).

        C. Inspection Scheduling and Preparation

    During logistics planning (e.g., determining the inspection start date), and before initiating the
    postapproval inspection, ORA may decide to confirm with the firm that the drug is manufactured at
    the inspection site.
    In addition to following the steps in section 5.5.1.1—Preparation and References—of the
    Investigations Operations Manual (IOM), investigators should prepare for a postapproval inspection
    by conducting the following activities:
        •   Review the completed DMF/drug process/micro IQA reviews and the CMC section of the
            application (including the original development report), related supplements and
            postapproval changes, annual reports, application postapproval commitments, and related
            DMFs associated with the inspection assignment.
            Note: This information can be accessed electronically via Panorama or DARRTS/Lorenz
            docuBridge. Applications often contain trade secrets or confidential commercial information,
            and it is essential that the information be carefully protected to prevent its release outside
            FDA. ORA divisions are expected to establish a controlled access filing system to prevent
            the unauthorized use or release of application information.
        •   Based on the assignment request, contact the drug process, microbiology, and facility
            assessors assigned to the application, as applicable, to discuss special areas for coverage and
            questions regarding the submitted information (e.g., test methods, data tables, raw material
            attributes, justifications for finished product specifications).
        •   Access the application’s most current PLCM document or comparability protocols via an
            OPMA request or docuBridge to ensure inspection coverage is relevant.

                                                                                        PROGRAM                7356.843


        •    After reviewing the assignment request and the related PAI’s EIR (if performed), contact
             OPMA with questions about the application and contact the ORA PAM or designee with
             questions about the performed PAI, EIR, and firm history.
        •    In consultation with other inspection team members, develop an inspection plan that is
             specific to the establishment and its compliance history and to the subject drug being
             inspected and is consistent with this compliance program’s objectives and inspectional and
             auditing techniques.

        D. Inspection Team

    ORA leads postapproval inspections and CDER participates with CDER and ORA management
    concurrence. ORA investigators and CDER application assessors or CDER subject matter experts
    are encouraged to jointly participate in postapproval inspections, particularly for those subject drugs
    that are a new molecular entity, incorporate a new molecular entity, are a novel formulation or
    dosage type, are produced using a novel unit operation or processing method, or use a novel
    analytical test method or technique. While the ORA investigator is responsible for reporting
    inspection findings in the EIR, all participants on an inspection team are responsible for submitting
    their portion of the EIR and supporting exhibits to the lead investigator in a timely manner, as
    directed by the lead investigator.

        E. Expanding Inspection Coverage to Compliance Program 7356.002

    The inspection team should add surveillance coverage with PAC 56002 under compliance program
    7356.002 17 if it finds objectionable conditions for the assigned subject drug during the postapproval
    inspection and if one of the following conditions exist:
        •    The subject drug is the only product manufactured at the establishment; or
        •    The objectionable conditions identified for the subject drug as per part V of this compliance
             program could potentially impact other marketed drug products manufactured at the
             establishment.

        F. CDER Consultation During Inspection

    When product-specific issues arise that cannot be immediately resolved by the investigator on-site
    and may need the subject matter expertise of product assessors from CDER (OPQ), ORA can reach
    out to the appropriate OPMA/review division representative for clarification.




    17
       Unless there is an assignment from the current Site Surveillance Inspection List or there is justification based on
    objectionable observations that could impact marketed drug products, surveillance coverage (56002(X)) would not
    typically be added to postapproval inspection assignments.

         G. Refusals

    Under section 501(j) of the FD&C Act, a drug is adulterated that “has been manufactured, processed,
    packed, or held in any factory, warehouse, or establishment and the owner, operator, or agent of such
    factory, warehouse, or establishment delays, denies, or limits an inspection, or refuses to permit
    entry or inspection.” 18

    Investigators should fully document the circumstances of the denial, delay, limitation, or refusal as
    outlined in the IOM. The ORA program division should attempt to resolve the issue, but if initial
    attempts are unsuccessful, the ORA program division should notify its Office of Chief Counsel
    senior enforcement advisor, if needed, and OC for awareness and assistance. In the event a denial,
    delay, limitation, or refusal occurs during an inspection where the circumstances indicate a
    significant threat to humans or animals, the investigator should attempt to collect an inventory of all
    drugs (components and finished products) at the establishment.

    4. Importance of Application Assessment Integration

    Achieving a science-based approval decision about each application from a pharmaceutical quality
    perspective requires an integrated assessment of the application and associated facilities. Because
    this requires input from multiple disciplines in FDA, differences of opinion may occur. FDA offices
    involved in the postapproval inspection program are covered by an equal voice philosophy. Under
    this philosophy, all appropriate expertise should be considered in the important decisions made about
    applications, and the perspective from each FDA office assigned a role in reviewing and evaluating
    drug applications is valuable. This equal voice environment is achieved, in practice, when each
    organizational unit:
         •   Integrates each contribution to enhance the decision of the multidisciplinary team.
         •   Provides an environment where all team members can express their views for the areas in
             which they have a recognized responsibility.
         •   Ensures an avenue for promptly raising unresolved differences of opinion through the
             management chain for prompt resolution.
         •   Maintains transparency with a full and adequate record documenting decisions, including
             significantly differing views.

                                       PART III―INSPECTIONAL

    1. Inspection/Audit Strategy

    There are four primary product-specific objectives to be covered under this compliance program:
        1. Objective 1: Process Validation Lifecycle and State of Control.
        2. Objective 2: Investigations and CAPA Program.
        3. Objective 3: Change Management, Change Effectiveness, and Conformance to the
           Application and Other Postmarketing Reports and Requirements.
        4. Objective 4: Integrity of Product Quality Data.
    The inspection team should provide the coverage described in the assignment memo as well as
    provide additional, in-depth coverage of potential issues identified during the inspection.

    2. Inspection/Audit Coverage, Objectives, and Techniques

    Subsequent to an application approval, the firm should have generated and collected substantially
    more manufacturing and laboratory data than what is typically provided at filing and made available
    during the application review. Product and process knowledge gained by analysis of such data
    should help firms demonstrate their ability to consistently maintain process controls, meet quality
    specifications, reliably produce subject drugs of intended quality, and adequately respond to
    unexpected or aberrant results in a timely manner to prevent poor quality drug products from
    reaching consumers.
    Postapproval inspection focuses largely on the product lifecycle, including the process validation
    lifecycle and manufacturing changes that may have occurred after approval. During a postapproval
    inspection, the inspection team reviews records and processes for changes related to the subject drug
    that have occurred from the time the application was approved up to the time of the inspection. The
    inspection team should also confirm that manufacturing-related commitments made by applicants
    during the application or supplement approval stage have been completed or are underway. It is not
    uncommon for manufacturers to change production equipment, manufacturing procedures, and
    associated control strategies based on scale-up, process qualification, process verification, and
    capacity needs. Such modifications, which generally need to be submitted for FDA review (see 21
    CFR 314.70) unless otherwise provided for as approved ECs, reflect changes to the approved
    application and must conform to CGMP regulations (see 21 CFR 211.22 and 211.100).
    This section further explains each postapproval inspectional objective and provides examples of
    documents and processes to review, guiding points for inspectional focus areas and coverage, a
    framework for assessing the firm’s performance, and references to applicable regulations and
    guidance documents.

                                                                                    PROGRAM              7356.843


         A. Objective 1: Process Validation Lifecycle and State of Control
            Summary: Verify that there is a high degree of assurance that the commercial
            manufacturing process is in a state of control and consistently produces a subject drug
            that meets the applicable requirements for identity, strength, quality, and purity. 19
            Ensure that the firm’s manufacturing process, control strategy, test methods, and
            process performance and product quality monitoring system for the subject drug are
            well-designed, implemented, validated as applicable, and verified throughout the
            product lifecycle as necessary.

    Process validation is defined as the collection and evaluation of data from the process design stage
    through commercial production, which establishes scientific evidence that a process is capable of
    consistently delivering quality product. Process validation is grouped into three stages: (1) process
    design, (2) process qualification, and (3) continued process verification. 20 Process validation
    coverage during postapproval inspection primarily focuses on stages 2 and 3—process qualification
    and continued process verification—for the commercial manufacture of the subject drug. Stage
    1―process design―is expected to require less coverage, particularly for subject drugs for which
    PAIs were conducted. During a postapproval inspection, the investigator may need to evaluate
    certain aspects of process design if they observe variability in commercial manufacturing data (stage
    3 data, e.g., trends, deviations, failures) or process qualification studies and data (stage 2 data).
    Suggested focus areas within the three process validation stages are described below.

         (1) Objective 1A: Review of Process Design (Process Validation—Stage 1)

    Sufficient documentation of process design activities is necessary to ensure that process knowledge
    is appropriately captured, evaluated, and leveraged for use in subsequent stages of process
    validation. Product development activities, including design of experiment (DoE) studies and
    appropriate application of risk analysis tools in particular, are perhaps among the best industry
    practices that manufacturers can use to develop process knowledge.
    Process design and development studies, in particular DoE studies, typically help reveal
    relationships between variable inputs (e.g., component characteristics, process parameters) and
    resulting outputs (e.g., in-process material, intermediates, subject drug). Additionally, process design
    studies (e.g., laboratory or pilot-scale models, computer-based or virtual simulations of certain unit
    operations or process dynamics), and in particular the scale-up studies to commercial production,
    address the functionality and operational limitations of commercial equipment and the anticipated
    contributions to variability posed by different component lots (e.g., impact of component particle
    size on unit operations such as mixing/blending, filling, or compression), production operators,
    environmental conditions, and measurement systems in the production setting. The scientific data
    resulting from process design, including DoE studies, can contribute to process understanding and

    thereby help manufacturers justify ranges for incoming component quality, equipment parameters,
    in-process material quality attributes, and the design of manufacturing process and controls.
    Inspection Coverage 21
         •   If objective 1A was not previously evaluated (e.g., during a PAI or during an RIE 22 or an
             assessment conducted under section 704(a)(4) of the FD&C Act), or there was a quality
             concern identified from the previous evaluation, review the product development activities,
             experimental reports, and other supportive data and reports available—whether they were
             included in the original application or they were performed as part of a research or trial batch
             on a different manufacturing scale―to determine if the process was designed to produce the
             subject drug meeting the established critical quality attributes before the firm initiated stage 2
             process validation activities.
         •   Determine if the firm appropriately executed relevant process design activities in response to
             deviations observed in stage 2 or 3.

         (2) Objective 1B: Review of Process Performance Qualification (Process Validation—
             Stage 2)

    The focus of postapproval inspections during the process qualification stage is on process
    performance qualification (PPQ), which is primarily concerned with achieving a level of confidence
    that the commercial process and controls consistently result in high-quality product and that
    commercial distribution is justified.
    Firms can achieve this by (1) designing and executing a written protocol (hereinafter PPQ protocol)
    that specifies manufacturing conditions, controls, testing, and expected outcomes, and (2) generating
    a report (hereinafter PPQ report) that documents adherence to the PPQ protocol and draws
    conclusions as to whether the process (a) meets the conditions established in the PPQ protocol and
    (b) is in a state of control. 23
    Inspection Coverage
         •   Verify that the PPQ protocol for the subject drug has been reviewed and approved by
             appropriate departments, including the quality unit, before its execution as per the established
             procedure.
         •   Evaluate the adequacy of the PPQ protocol in terms of the essential elements it describes,
             which may include but are not limited to the following:


    21
       Refer to the original application and IQA for information regarding manufacturing of the drug substance or drug
    product, batch formula and components, unit operations, process development activities, in-process controls and
    specifications, and identified lifecycle considerations.

             conclusions drawn.
         •   Evaluate the investigation reports for the firm’s resolution of product quality/process control
             issues that arose during the PPQ study (e.g., specifications not met, process controls not
             adequate, variability exceeding acceptance criteria, lots rejected). 25
         •   Evaluate the impact of recent changes to commercial manufacturing facilities, processing
             conditions, or critical quality attributes in the approved application on the validity of the PPQ
             study.
         •   Evaluate whether the equipment and utilities remain suitable for their intended use and
             whether the preventive maintenance program remains appropriate based on information
             collected since PPQ completion.

         (3) Objective 1C: Review of Continued Process Verification (Process Validation—Stage 3)

    Continued process verification provides assurance throughout the lifecycle that the commercial scale
    process remains in a state of control (i.e., the validated state). During continued process verification,
    manufacturers enhance, as necessary, mechanisms for detecting and monitoring signals of process
    drift, shift, or loss of control to identify the source and scope of newly identified variations.
    Manufacturers evaluate the commercial process and product data to identify and prevent
    unacceptable variability. As manufacturers accumulate information during commercial production,


    25
      An unresolved PPQ processing issue may allow for variation in process parameters or in commercial product quality
    that unexpectedly becomes unacceptable. The source of an unresolved PPQ processing issue may be a hitherto
    unidentified process design (stage 1) defect. An unresolved PPQ processing issue may allow for episodic or persistent
    process variation in process parameters or in product quality that is revealed by a careful inspection of commercial
    product data and information (stage 3).

    component variability that was not observed during process design and development (stage 1) or
    PPQ (stage 2) can manifest in the in-process materials and thereby contribute to variability in
    product quality. When variability is detected, manufacturers should investigate and determine if
    process parameter ranges need to be adjusted, process changes are needed to manage the variability,
    or increased sampling is needed to better monitor and understand in-process material attribute
    variability. Changes in operating conditions (e.g., ranges/set-points), process controls, components
    or in-process material attributes/characteristics, and specifications may require additional process
    design or PPQ studies to maintain compliance with 21 CFR 211.180(e) and sections 506A(a)(1) and
    (b) of the FD&C Act.
    Inspection Coverage
           •   Review and evaluate the firm’s quality management oversight and the methods used to assess
               the commercial product data; determine if the firm adequately detects emerging trends
               related to product quality from the information found in product data analysis reports; and
               determine if the firm adequately incorporates risk analysis into decisions regarding continued
               process verification data. This information may be found in:
                   Analysis of nonconforming product data from complaints, product rejections, recalls,
                    NDA/ANDA field alert reports (FARs), adverse event reports, audits, regulatory
                    inspections, and similar sources.
                   Investigations into unexpected trends recognized from the analysis of process, material,
                    or product variability.
                   Process performance and product quality monitoring data, including control charts,
                    process deviations, in-process batch release testing results, process yield variations,
                    nonconformances, and batch records.
                   Documentation of the appropriate statistical process control techniques applied as part of
                    the product and quality improvement program.
                   Laboratory records, including stability data trend analysis and reports, testing deviations,
                    nonconformances, investigations, and CAPA reports 26 with discussions of root cause
                    factors for out-of-trend (OOT) and out-of-specification (OOS) test results for raw
                    materials, in-process materials, and the subject drug.
           •   Determine if the firm adequately considered the need for additional process design or process
               qualification studies when changes are made to the process after the initial PPQ, including
               necessary adjustment of the sampling plan (e.g., frequency, sample size, location) to better
               monitor and understand process variability.
           •   Determine if the firm evaluates production data and leverages such data to identify changes
               needed in the manufacturing process, control procedures, or specifications, thereby
               promoting continual improvement throughout the product lifecycle.

             drug and associated processes and equipment were thoroughly evaluated and
             effectively implemented using quality risk management as an enabler in support of
             continual improvement.

         (1) Objective 2A: Investigations

    In general, the depth and breadth of investigations of any product- or process-related deviation
    should be governed by a documented risk assessment and should take a structured approach to
    determining the root cause of the deviation.
    The level of effort, formality, and documentation of the investigation should be commensurate with
    the level of risk. The firm should support its conclusions with scientific rationale and data generated
    through investigations. Where applicable, the firm should use retain samples or confirmatory testing
    to aid in its investigations. Laboratory error should be rare and is not sufficient to justify invalidating
    data, unless there is clear evidence that it was the root cause of a failing result.
    The analysis of product risk should be commensurate with the significance and risk of the
    nonconformity and its perceived impact on the quality, safety, or effectiveness of the drug product.
    The firm should conduct the risk assessment in a timely manner, using sound scientific and quality
    risk management principles. This includes consulting subject matter experts from departments within
    the organization with the expertise needed to ensure a full understanding of the scope of the problem
    and its implications for product quality and risk to public health. 28
    Inspection Coverage 29
         •   Review the firm’s response to both internal (e.g., deviation, OOT, OOS, errors) and external
             (e.g., drug quality reports, recalls, complaints) signals for the subject drug. Investigations
             involving released drug product should be given priority.
         •   Ascertain if the firm conducts or has conducted a thorough root cause investigation to
             identify product quality issues for the subject drug.
         •   Determine if the firm’s investigations included an analysis of product risk and an evaluation
             of risk to public health.
         •   Confirm that the firm expanded the scope of the investigation to include any and all lots of
             the subject drug and any other drug products that may have been affected.




    28
       Departments include those involved in pharmaceutical development, manufacturing, quality, technical services,
    laboratory work, materials management, regulatory affairs, and medical services.
    29 During a postapproval inspection, coverage should focus on the investigations and CAPAs pertaining to the subject

    drug rather than on the overall effectiveness or validity of the investigation system itself, which is the typical focus of a
    surveillance-based inspection.

        (2) Objective 2B: CAPA Program

    The CAPA program considers the risk that the problem poses to product quality. The level of effort,
    formality, and documentation of CAPAs should be commensurate with the level of risk. The CAPA
    program should also address identified problems, prevent their recurrence, and trigger improvements
    through change management as necessary.
    Inspection Coverage
        •   Based on the firm’s response to internal and external signals for the subject drug, check
            whether the firm has a procedure to prioritize CAPAs based on risk and manage CAPAs for
            the released subject drug in a timely manner. Through this coverage, assess the adequacy of
            the firm’s approach, actions, and responses regarding the following:
                Routine, proactive identification and analysis of quality data regarding product and
                 quality problems.
                Evaluation of deviations, nonconformances, investigations, complaints, Process
                 Performance and Product Quality Monitoring System data/trends, and other external
                 reports to determine an appropriate CAPA.
                Documentation of the full extent of a problem before conducting risk analysis or
                 determining the proper course of a CAPA.
                Application of quality risk management concepts in the CAPA approach.
                Review of proposed CAPAs by a cross-functional team with the necessary training and
                 experience before management approval.
        •   Evaluate the firm’s CAPAs to ensure they were implemented in a timely manner and that
            they are effective and prevent recurrence. Through this coverage, assess the adequacy of the
            firm’s CAPA approach, actions, and responses regarding the following:
                Documentation of effectiveness check criteria (e.g., implementation timeline and
                 milestones, collection of feedback, validations, other evidence of the success of the
                 corrections made).
                Monitoring for recurring deviations.
                Evaluation and mitigation of new or recurring risks derived from the CAPA effectiveness
                 check, with management review and approval.
                Management assurance that responsible parties will follow through on CAPA
                 commitments, including reporting as postapproval changes, as applicable.
                Timely filings of regulatory submissions and postmarketing reports.

        C. Objective 3: Change Management, Change Effectiveness, and Conformance to the
           Application and Other Postmarketing Reports and Requirements
            Summary: Determine whether implemented changes in the product, process,
            components, equipment, and/or facility associated with the subject drug were
            implemented effectively using quality risk management as an enabler in support of
            continual improvement. Verify that the subject drug is being manufactured in
            accordance with the approved application or active DMF referenced in the approved
            application, including filed postapproval changes. Confirm that the firm is fulfilling
            or is on track to fulfill commitments (e.g., providing additional stability data) made at
            the time of approval (original application or subsequent submissions) and is meeting
            drug quality reporting requirements in a timely manner.

    It is not uncommon for manufacturers to change facilities (e.g., add a new facility or replace an
    existing facility), introduce changes within a facility, or change production equipment or
    manufacturing and control procedures because of scale-up, process qualification, process
    verification, capacity needs, or improvement plans. The impetus for change may originate from
    internal sources (e.g., the outputs of process performance and product quality monitoring, CAPAs,
    product reviews, audits, adverse trends, OOS results, adoption of advanced manufacturing) or
    external sources (e.g., adverse event reports, FDA inspections, compendia modifications). Change
    management ensures the appropriate execution of changes so that information relevant to the subject
    drug is fed back into the process and control strategy to effect continual improvement and ensure the
    maintenance of a state of control.
    A change management system:
        •   Controls and implements proposed changes that are expected to improve product quality,
            process performance, and robustness.
        •   Ensures that proposed changes that might impact product quality (and thereby potentially
            product safety, effectiveness, or both) are evaluated commensurate with the level of risk to
            patients by using sound scientific and quality risk management principles.

                                                                           PROGRAM           7356.843


        •   Documents how the assessed risk was categorized and how it will be managed, controlled, or
            mitigated in the event the proposed change is not implemented.
        •   Ensures that implementation takes place in a timely manner with the approval of the quality
            unit.
        •   Monitors the effects of changes to ensure that they have the intended effect and that there are
            no unintended consequences.
    The change control process should involve input from departments with the expertise needed to
    assess the specific change and to ensure a full understanding of the scope of the change and its
    implications for the process and control strategy.
    Subject matter experts from the relevant departments responsible for implementing a specific change
    determine the type and extent of data (existing or to be newly generated) needed to support the
    change, and develop study protocols describing the methods, prospective acceptance criteria, and
    additional post-implementation process performance or product quality monitoring as necessary.
    As mentioned above, the change control process should also verify that changes have been effective
    in achieving the desired outcome with no unintended consequences. For example, a sufficient
    number of post-implementation commercial batches may be identified for review and evaluation. As
    another example, increasing data-gathering efforts (e.g., evaluating stability batches), as needed,
    confirms that the change objectives are achieved, that there is no deleterious impact on product
    quality, and that the knowledge gained is captured. The impact of each implemented change should
    be evaluated before the affected batches are released.
    During a postapproval inspection, coverage should focus on changes pertaining to the subject drug
    under evaluation rather than on the overall effectiveness or validity of the change control or change
    management system, which is the typical focus of a surveillance-based inspection.

        (1) Objective 3A: Change Management and Change Effectiveness

    The change management system ensures that appropriate science- and knowledge-based risk
    assessments are performed and documented for changes, taking into account the points below:
        •   The level of rigor, effort (e.g., testing, validation, review), and documentation is
            commensurate with the level of risk associated with each change, and each change is
            appropriately categorized according to the associated level of risk as defined by the site.
        •   Risk assessment adequately evaluates the potential risks and benefits of changes to product
            quality, safety, and effectiveness.
        •   Changes and their risks are assessed using current product and process knowledge, including
            appropriate data (available or generated, if needed), to identify current and needed risk
            controls for each change.
    The change management system also ensures that appropriate time and effort have been considered
    in change planning, prioritization, and implementation, taking into account the points below:
        •   The outcomes of risk assessments and the assigned risk levels drive change planning,
            prioritization, and implementation expectations.

                                                                                     PROGRAM               7356.843


         •   Data to support the change, as well as acceptance criteria and change effectiveness criteria,
             are predefined in change planning. These may include continued process verification and
             statistical assessments, including process capability and process performance indices—Cpk
             and Ppk—to aid with the quantitative assessment of risk control.
         •   Risks with the current state (until changes are implemented) and risks that might be
             temporarily introduced during the change process are adequately assessed.
         •   Interim controls (short-term measures) are identified and implemented in a timely manner to
             monitor and mitigate risks associated with the current state.
         •   Identified risk control measures are adequately implemented in a timely manner.
         •   Approval to proceed with change implementation or rejection of the change is documented
             with appropriate justification.
         •   Relevant risk assessments are reviewed and are updated after the implementation of changes.
         •   Relevant and timely updates are made to regulatory filings, when appropriate (e.g., annual
             reports must include all changes of relevance to filings; see 21 CFR 314.81 and 314.98).
    In addition to general inspection coverage considerations regarding change management and
    effectiveness, this section includes considerations covering product quality review (PQR) through
    the PQS as an input to change management, ECs, comparability protocols, PLCM documents, and
    supply chain-related changes. 30 For example, changes in the supply chain for APIs, excipients, and
    primary packaging components that occur after approval should be thoroughly evaluated, approved,
    and documented to ensure that they are unlikely to pose an adverse risk to product quality and
    thereby to patients.
    Inspection Coverage
         •   Evaluate changes to facility, product, process, and practices that have occurred since the
             application was approved, or since the last inspection providing coverage of changes for this
             product, that may have affected product quality. Evaluate the scientific justification for and
             implementation of the changes and compare them to the changes contained in postapproval
             submissions.
         •   Determine whether:
                The factors or reasons triggering changes and the related evidence are clearly
                 documented. 31


    30
       See ICH Q12. The PQR is also referred to as an annual product review, which is a regulatory requirement per 21 CFR
    211.180(e).
    31 Examples of common lifecycle factors that trigger change include but are not limited to the following: upgrades to

    equipment or facilities; changes in raw material quality or sourcing; improvements in manufacturing performance and
    consistency (to reduce variability, improve yield, etc.); enhancements in manufacturing capacity; corrections of quality
    issues; and addressing of signals from the PQS such as deviations, complaints/adverse events, CAPAs, product quality
    review, operational review metrics, management review, new regulations, compliance gaps, implementing innovation,
    and continual improvement initiatives.

                Proposed changes for the subject drug have been adequately evaluated using quality risk
                 management principles 32 and have been validated (if needed) and approved for
                 implementation through a formal change control system.
                Proposed changes have been adequately justified with a scientific rationale and data.
                 Confirm that the evaluation of each change has been completed before affected batches
                 were released. 33
                Relevant experts and stakeholders (e.g., subject matter experts, specific departments) are
                 involved in change proposal development and approval. 34
                The objectives, scope, expected outcomes, and anticipated benefits of proposed changes
                 are documented.
                Changes are proposed and formally evaluated in a timely manner, and a decision to
                 accept or reject the proposal is documented. For rejected change proposals, the rationale
                 for rejection is adequately documented.
                Before change closure, the firm has ensured that:
                 ­ Changes have met their intended objectives and predefined effectiveness criteria.
                   Deviations from those criteria are adequately assessed, approved, and managed or
                   justified. Whenever possible, quantitative data are leveraged to objectively determine
                   change effectiveness (e.g., statistical confidence and coverage).
                 ­ As part of the quality risk management activities, residual risks are assessed and
                   managed to acceptable levels, and appropriate adaptations of procedures and controls
                   are implemented.
                 ­ Unintended consequences or risks introduced as a result of changes are evaluated,
                   documented, approved, handled adequately, and are subject to a predefined
                   monitoring time frame.
                Before or after change closure, the firm has ensured that:
                 ­ Post-implementation actions (including those for deviations from predefined
                   acceptance criteria or CAPAs) are identified and completed adequately.
                 ­ Relevant risk assessments are updated after changes are implemented and their
                   effectiveness is assessed. New product/process knowledge resulting from risk
                   assessments are captured in the appropriate quality and operations documents (e.g.,
                   standard operating procedures, reports, product control strategy documents).



    32 See ICH Q9(R1), and Annex II in particular. Bear in mind that an impact assessment, typically performed within the
    change control system, may not be as comprehensive as a risk assessment for proposed changes. Impact assessments
    often assign categorization and determine the change’s regulatory filing but may not always fully address what might go
    wrong or would be improved in the context of current product and process knowledge, the control strategy, and the
    product lifecycle.
    33 See footnote 32 with regard to impact assessment.

                 ­ The effects of implemented changes are actively monitored (e.g., use of additional
                   samples for in-process or stability testing, review of data results after completion of a
                   prespecified number of batches) to confirm that change objectives are achieved and
                   that there is no deleterious impact on product quality.
                 ­ Changes are monitored via ongoing monitoring systems to ensure maintenance of a
                   state of control, 35 and lessons learned are captured and communicated. When
                   deviations associated with postapproval changes are detected:
                      o Risk-mitigating steps are developed in the case of deviations from acceptance
                        criteria or identification of unanticipated risks.
                      o The issue is managed via the firm’s deviation management process and
                        appropriate CAPAs are identified and undertaken via the firm’s CAPA program.
         •   Confirm that implemented changes, as appropriate, were captured and assessed as part of the
             PQR procedures, which are described in further detail under objective 3B in Part III.2.C(2) of
             this compliance program. (Also see “Inspection Coverage—Pharmaceutical Quality System
             Assessment” below.)
    Inspection Coverage—Pharmaceutical Quality System Assessment
         •   Through the review of PQR procedures, confirm that senior management is responsible for
             PQS governance through periodic management review to ensure its continuing suitability and
             effectiveness. 36 When confirming that periodic management reviews are occurring:
                Determine whether management reviews include:
                 ­ Measurement of achievement of PQS objectives.
                 ­ Assessment of performance indicators used to monitor the effectiveness of processes
                   within the PQS (e.g., complaints, deviations, CAPAs, self-assessments, external
                   assessments).
                Determine whether outcomes of management review of the PQS and monitoring of
                 internal and external factors include:
                 ­ Improvements to the PQS and related processes.
                 ­ Allocation or reallocation of resources and personnel training.
                 ­ Revisions to quality policy and quality objectives, as appropriate.
                 ­ Documentation and timely and effective communication of the results of the
                   management review and actions, including escalation of appropriate issues to senior
                   management.

    Inspection Coverage—Comparability Protocols and Product Lifecycle Management
           • Determine whether the applicant has an approved comparability protocol or specified and/or
               categorized postapproval changes in a PLCM document.
                   If there is an approved comparability protocol, verify the implementation status of any
                    change.
                    ­ Review that the change as implemented aligns with the comparability protocol.
                    ­ Verify whether the data generated demonstrate that the change objective and
                      acceptance criteria were met.
                   If there is an approved PLCM document:
                    ­ Verify that changes to all ECs are handled per the approved PLCM and changes to
                      parameters unrelated to ECs are managed appropriately under the firm’s PQS.
                    ­ Verify the maintenance status of the document in terms of when and how the
                      document is updated.
                    ­ Review that the document was updated after the change was implemented to capture
                      new product/process knowledge gained during implementation.
                    ­ Verify whether subsequent regulatory filings for the subject drug have been included
                      in the document.
           • If the applicant/manufacturer is not using an approved PLCM document for the subject drug,
               assess and report whether the changes are being reported in a manner that is consistent with
               the appropriate regulations (see 21 CFR 314.70 and 314.97) and guidance documents 37 to
               provide continued assurance of quality for the subject drug over the product lifecycle.
    Inspection Coverage—Supplier/Vendor Qualification and Agreements Assessment
           •   Assess the adequacy of the firm’s supplier qualification program by ensuring that the firm:
                   Evaluated supplier changes for the raw materials, intermediates, or components of the
                    subject drug, as applicable, using the site change management system, evaluated the risk
                    of the supplier change before implementation, and evaluated the quality of the drug and
                    its individual characteristics (such as the impurity profile).
                   Evaluated changes to individual raw material and qualified component suppliers before
                    authorizing the material from those suppliers for use, and reevaluates the reliability of the
                    supplier’s analyses through appropriate validation of the supplier’s test results at
                    appropriate intervals.
                   Maintains defined sampling plans for components to obtain samples that are
                    representative of the shipment and defined acceptance levels to detect unacceptable
                    component variability.

                 independent confirmatory testing at a defined frequency.
         •   If the firm has a quality agreement in place with other facilities, including drug applicants,
             for either critical inputs (e.g., ingredients, raw materials) or outputs (e.g., bulk API for
             micronization, bulk in-process material or bulk finished product for further processing such

             suppliers, contract manufacturers, and drug manufacturers regarding the notification and
             impact of changes in or deviations from processes or acceptance criteria for the inputs or
             outputs.

         (2) Objective 3B: Conformance to the Application and Other Postmarketing Reports and
             Requirements

    In accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements, 38 applicants must notify FDA of
    manufacturing changes to approved applications before distributing drug products made with such
    changes. Under 21 CFR 314.70 and 314.97, applicants must notify FDA about changes made to the
    conditions and the variations in the conditions that were established in approved applications. These
    regulations identify three broad reporting categories: major changes, which require submission of a
    prior approval supplement (PAS); moderate changes, which require submission of a changes being
    effected in 30 days (CBE-30) supplement or a CBE-0 supplement; and minor changes, which must
    be reported in an annual report. The reporting category for a change is based on the potential risk for
    the change to have an adverse effect on the identity, strength, quality, or purity of the drug product
    as these factors may relate to its safety or effectiveness. If an application includes approved ECs
    with specified reporting categories (see Part 1—Background), the reporting category reflected in the
    PLCM document is considered the appropriate submission type for a postapproval change to that
    EC.
    Applicants of NDAs and ANDAs are required to file FARs for relevant quality issues concerning
    distributed product batches pursuant to 21 CFR 314.81. A failure to file a report is considered a
    significant violation and subject to a Form FDA 483 citation. 39
    Firms conduct periodic PQRs—annually at a minimum or more frequently on a rolling basis—to
    verify reliability and performance of the existing process in delivering quality product, verify the
    appropriateness of current specifications for raw materials (including starting materials),
    components, and the subject drug, and identify trends in product quality and process performance
    that warrant change. 40
    PQRs, taking into account previous reviews, include at least the following for the subject drug, as
    applicable:


    38 See section 506A of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 356a).

             requirements that the applicant had agreed to fulfill in a timely manner as part of the
             authorization for the initial approval of the NDA. 42
         •   Review changes that have been implemented since approval for the drug product and
             determine whether the changes were properly reported to FDA.
         •   Evaluate if the firm has underestimated changes in terms of their potential impact on product
             quality and type of change to the regulatory filing (e.g., as a minor change requiring an
             annual report submission instead of as a moderate change requiring a CBE-30 supplement).

        •   Evaluate if the firm manufactured and improperly distributed any batches with changes that
            required prior FDA approval.
        •   Determine whether manufacturing is consistent with what was included in the application
            (e.g., if manufacturing and analytical equipment, manufacturing process, process controls, in-
            process and release tests, specifications, and methods employed are the same as those
            documented in the application).
        •   Confirm and as necessary report back whether the commitments made by the applicant, at the
            time the application or application supplement was approved, have been completed or are
            underway.
        •   Verify that the firm:
                Evaluates PQR results and assesses whether to undertake CAPAs, change proposals, or
                 process revalidation for continual improvement.
                Uses quality risk management to evaluate proposed CAPAs, changes, or process
                 revalidation.
                Completes actions that are undertaken as a result of a PQR in a timely and effective
                 manner.
                Has procedures for the ongoing management and review of actions undertaken as a result
                 of PQRs and verifies the effectiveness of these procedures during self-inspection.
                Reviews the effectiveness of actions undertaken as a result of a PQR at the next PQR.

           D. Objective 4: Integrity of Product Quality Data

               Summary: Audit manufacturing controls, test results, and the related raw data for
               starting materials, in-process materials, and batches of the subject drug. Ensure that
               the test and production data are authentic, computed correctly, accurate, and
               documented per CGMP and that they support the associated decisions by the firm,
               application submissions, and lifecycle changes.

    This section emphasizes the importance of data integrity when it has been specifically requested as
    part of inspectional coverage in the assignment. Additionally, at the discretion of the lead
    investigator, data integrity coverage may be added when problems are found. Sufficient coverage
    should be afforded to confirm the integrity of data relating to process performance and product
    quality.

    During routine production, firms generate a substantial amount of manufacturing and laboratory
    data. Analysis of these data and evaluation of analytical methods ensures that firms are capable of
    consistently maintaining process control, meeting quality specifications, and reliably producing
    product of intended quality. Complete, consistent, and accurate data should be attributable, legible,



    43
         When final, these guidances will represent the FDA’s current thinking on these topics.

    contemporaneously recorded, original or a true copy, and accurate (ALCOA). 44 Analysis of product
    quality data (e.g., release and stability data) also ensures that the quality unit adequately responds to
    unexpected or aberrant results in a timely manner so as to prevent poor quality drug products from
    reaching the marketplace.
    If a pattern of data reliability issues is identified during the inspection, the investigator should consider
    expanding the coverage to surveillance of marketed products manufactured in the facility using
    compliance program 7356.002. If data reliability issues are documented for other products during an
    expanded inspection, this suggests a broader pattern that implicates all products manufactured at the
    facility. If so, ORA should consider submitting a recommendation that CDER consider invoking the
    Application Integrity Policy (AIP) or that a for-cause inspection be planned to further define the scope of
    the data reliability issues. 45
    Inspection Coverage
         •   Assess the firm’s ability to effectively manage hard copy (paper), computerized, and hybrid
             data systems by having user access control mechanisms and verifiable audit trails, where
             appropriate, for collection, reporting, and archiving of information for the subject drug.
                Determine whether data are calculated and reported using reliable and verifiable
                 mechanisms, interpreted using sound scientific rationale, and maintained using validated
                 systems.
                Determine if there were data not reported in the submission, supplement, or annual report
                 that should have been.
                Evaluate whether there were inaccurate, misleading, manipulated, or incomplete data in
                 CGMP documents and submissions.
         •   Evaluate representative raw data relating to process performance and product quality,
             including the raw data from the in-process, release, and stability testing, to determine if there
             is a pattern of data reliability issues that impact:
                The quality specifications of the subject drug.
                The retest or expiry date or labeled expiration dating.




    44
       These characteristics are important to ensuring data integrity and are addressed throughout the CGMP regulations for
    drug products. For attributable, see 21 CFR 211.101(d), 211.122, 211.186, 211.188(b)(11), and 212.50(c)(10); for
    legible, see 21 CFR 211.180(e) and 212.110(b); for contemporaneously recorded (at the time of performance), see 21
    CFR 211.100(b) and 211.160(a); for original or a true copy, see 21 CFR 211.180 and 211.194(a); and for accurate, see
    21 CFR 211.22(a), 211.68, 211.188, and 212.60(g).

    3. Inspection Reporting

    The inspection team performs the inspection following this compliance program and provides
    coverage in the areas of concern.

         A. Issuance of Form FDA 483

    Consistent with instructions in the IOM, use Form FDA 483 to communicate reportable observations
    and CGMP deficiencies pertaining to the subject drug.
    Refer to Part V—Regulatory/Administrative Strategy―for a list of issues that may result in a 483
    observation.
    If the postapproval inspection is concurrent with or expanded to CGMP surveillance, organize Form
    FDA 483 according to compliance program 7356.002 and the IOM.

         B. Completion and Assessment of the Establishment Inspection Report

    The inspection team prepares a narrative EIR per instructions in the IOM (chapter 5). In all cases,
    ORA and CDER (OPMA, Office of Manufacturing Quality (OMQ), or both as described in Part V)
    collaboratively evaluate the inspection team’s report within the context of the application and
    communicate relevant findings or concerns to the IQA team.


    46
      FDA expects the quality unit to control and approve changes made to these methods and, based on the significance of
    the change in the method, communicate those changes to FDA.

                                                                         PROGRAM            7356.843


    For postapproval inspections with significant deficiencies, CDER (OPMA, OMQ, or both as
    described in Part V) evaluates the inspection team’s findings and the firm’s response and makes a
    final recommendation on the adequacy of the firm’s response for the covered application and/or the
    facility. CDER (OPMA or OMQ as appropriate) communicates the final recommendation
    (concurrence/nonconcurrence) to ORA.

    4. Sample Collection or Sample Submission Requests

    Investigators should not routinely collect samples during the postapproval inspection. Samples of
    potentially defective subject drugs may be collected to constitute persuasive evidence that significant
    CGMP problems exist. Physical samples may be an integral part of a CGMP inspection where
    control deficiencies are observed. Physical samples should be correlated with observed control
    deficiencies. Contact a program coordinator in the ORS Office of Medical Products, Tobacco, and
    Specialty Laboratory Operations ([email protected]) for guidance
    on the types of samples to be collected (in-process or drug product) and for the appropriate analytical
    servicing laboratory. Documentary samples may be submitted when the documentation illustrates the
    deficiencies better than a physical sample. ORA divisions may elect to collect, but not analyze,
    physical samples, or to collect documentary samples to document CGMP deficiencies. Physical
    sample analysis is not necessary to document CGMP deficiencies. For sampling guidance, refer to
    IOM chapter 4—Sampling.
    If an official sample is collected at an establishment, use the PACs on the assignment to report
    sample collection/analysis time.

    provide the product description, lots to be tested, analyses to be performed, and reason for the
    sample collection.
    The analytical servicing laboratory uploads completed analytical worksheets for the product samples
    analyzed to CMS and submits the original worksheet package to the ORA home district office of the
    manufacturing facility.
    If warranted, ORA division offices will recommend an appropriate regulatory action to CDER.

                         PART V―REGULATORY / ADMINISTRATIVE STRATEGY

    ORA inspects the establishment named in an application and provides an initial recommendation on
    its acceptability. If there are significant issues that would adversely impact the establishment’s
    ability to perform its designated functions as described in the application, the lead investigator
    documents the nature and scope of significant deviations and observations found during the
    postapproval inspection for the subject drug.

    1. Significant Issues

    Examples of significant issues for the subject drug include but are not limited to the following 47:
         1. Lack of or inadequate process validation (e.g., unsuitable equipment, inadequate process
            performance qualification, unreliable state of control) to support distribution of the subject
            drug.
         2. Lack of or inadequate validation of test methods for raw materials, in-process materials, or
            the subject drug.
         3. Release or distribution of batches that deviated from the site’s established procedures as well
            as the controls in the approved application (e.g., reprocessing or rework operations, process
            controls, test methods, raw material, in-process material specifications, and subject drug
            specifications).
         4. Failure to investigate and resolve quality problems (e.g., manufacturing issues, including
            stability failures, OOS or OOT results, consumer complaints) for distributed batches.
         5. Failure to investigate and document the root cause of deviations, failure to initiate CAPAs to
            correct deviations and prevent them from recurring, and failure to assess the impact on
            product quality.
         6. Failure of the quality unit to adequately review, assess, and approve changes relevant to the
            subject drug.
         7. A finding of data integrity problems. 48
         8. Failure to meet application commitments by the agreed-upon timeline without a reasonable
            justification and with no or inadequate communication to FDA.
         9. Failure to report or inadequate reporting of changes made to the subject drug, as applicable
            (e.g., changes made to approved ECs).



    47
       In general, issues 1 to 7 are considered typical examples of CGMP deficiencies, whereas issues 8 and 9 are typical
    examples of application-related issues. Issues related to drugs that have already been distributed are considered more
    significant for potential negative impact to patients or consumers.
    48
       Findings related to raw data integrity or falsification of data generated at the manufacturing site and used in support of
    product quality decisions relevant to the subject drug should be considered for a systemic CGMP impact on current
    operations (e.g., across all manufacturing operations or across all manufactured products as applicable) at the
    establishment.


Date of Issuance: 01/27/2023                                                                                       Page 38 of 50

第 39 页

                                                                          PROGRAM            7356.843


    If significant issues are identified during the postapproval inspection, the lead ORA investigator, as
    indicated in Part II.3.E of this compliance program, should consider expanding the scope of the
    inspection to include compliance program 7356.002 coverage.

    2. Coordination for Regulatory/Administrative Follow-Up Actions to Inspection Findings

    Inspection findings that demonstrate that the manufacturing process is not operating under a state of
    control may be used as evidence for taking appropriate advisory, administrative, or judicial actions.
    The initial classification of the inspection should be based on the ORA division’s assessment of the
    seriousness of the inspectional issues observed.
    The endorsement of the inspection report will point out the actions by the firm that have been or will
    be taken and the timeline for the actions. All deficiencies noted in inspections under this compliance
    program must be addressed by stating the firm’s corrective actions, accomplished or projected, for
    each deficiency as established in the discussion with the firm’s management at the close of the
    inspection.
    If an inspection report documents significant deficiencies for the subject drug or finds one or more
    systems at the establishment that are not in a state of control with or without the expanded inspection
    coverage under compliance program 7356.002, consider an initial OAI classification for impacted
    PACs.

        A. Issues That Are Considered Significant for PAC 56843

    The issues that are considered significant for PAC 56843 may impact other drug products or APIs
    besides the subject drug under inspection. OMQ and OPMA, when appropriate (i.e., specifically for
    the subject drug), will collaborate on the determination of combined actions (e.g., regulatory,
    advisory, enforcement). OMQ, ORA, and OPMA will subsequently collaborate on related
    communication with the firm or applicant, as appropriate.
    When the postapproval inspection identifies the presence of significant CGMP deficiencies for the
    subject drug, as described in Part V of this compliance program, or if the postapproval inspection is
    combined with surveillance inspection coverage and there are significant deficiencies identified as
    described in Part V—Regulatory/Administrative Strategy of compliance program 7356.002, the
    inspection should result in an initial OAI classification recommendation to OMQ.
    In these instances, OMQ will act as the lead office tasked with completing the final assessment,
    providing a compliance recommendation, and issuing the FMD-145 letter to the firm. To support
    OMQ’s efforts, OPMA may assign a point of contact to actively assist in the review of the inspection
    report and the firm’s responses to the 483 observations. When appropriate, OMQ can also initiate a
    product-specific consult to OPMA (such as to solicit subject matter expert opinion on the impact of
    identified microorganisms or other complex manufacturing process or facility issues). When
    necessary, OPMA will reach out to appropriate OPQ suboffices in response to the OMQ consult.
    Regulatory, advisory, or enforcement actions may include one or more of the following:
        •   Hold a regulatory meeting (or meetings) with the manufacturer.

                                                                                      PROGRAM               7356.843


         •   Issue a warning letter (or other advisory notice).
         •   Pursue an import alert (for foreign manufacturers).
         •   Order a cease distribution or product recall or recommend a product recall. 49
         •   Pursue product seizure.
         •   Pursue establishment injunction.
         •   Suspend product approval.
         •   Withdraw or revoke product approval (following the opportunity for a hearing or an
             opportunity to demonstrate compliance).
         •   Withhold the approval of pending applications and application supplements requiring an
             evaluation of the establishment.
         •   Invoke FDA’s Application Integrity Policy.
         •   Pursue prosecution.
         •   Pursue the imposition of civil money penalties.
         •   Initiate an administrative detention of the subject drug, per 21 CFR 1.980.
    The postapproval inspection may find no significant CGMP deficiencies but may identify
    application-related issues with an initial OAI classification for PAC 56843 requiring CDER’s
    follow-up. 50 In these instances, OPMA will lead the assessment of the inspection outcomes on the
    subject drug application, coordinate with the IQA team for subsequent follow-up actions or
    communications with the applicant or the facility as necessary, and act as the lead office tasked with
    completing the final assessment and issuing the FMD-145 letter to the firm. To support OPMA’s
    efforts, OMQ may assign a point of contact to actively assist in the review of the inspection report as
    well as other relevant inspectional documents. When appropriate, OPMA can also initiate a
    compliance-specific consult to OMQ. When necessary, OMQ will reach out to appropriate OC
    suboffices in response to the OPMA consult. OPQ can ask the applicant, site, and related programs,
    as needed, to undertake follow-up actions regarding subject drug-related issues. Follow-up actions
    may include, but are not limited to:
         •   Requesting that an applicant submit a supplement to modify ECs named in the application.
         •   Notifying the applicant that the reporting categories previously approved in the application
             related to the facility subject to the postapproval inspection will revert to reporting categories
             consistent with the risk-based paradigm in the regulations and as recommended in guidance
             until adequate corrections have been verified.
    Lack of follow-up on these application-focused corrections may also impact pending applications.


    49
      For a cease distribution or product recall of a controlled substance, refer to section 569D of the FD&C Act.
    50
      Examples of application-related issues include an inappropriate change reporting category, failure to meet application
    commitments relevant to drug quality, failure to submit annual reports, and concerns about the PQS that impact an
    approved PLCM document or suggest that additional ECs should be included in the application.

                                                                             PROGRAM          7356.843


    OPMA works with other offices (e.g., Office of Combination Products (OCP) and Office of the
    Chief Counsel (OCC), Office of Generic Drugs (OGD), OMQ) to determine the appropriate
    administrative actions, which may include but are not limited to the following:
           •   FDA-initiated request to the applicant to update an existing approved application.
           •   Withdrawal of approval status of the application (NDA and ANDA) or its suspension under
               section 505(e) of the FD&C Act (see also 21 CFR 314.150(b), 314.151, and 314.153).
    After the final classification of the inspection has been completed, OQS updates the surveillance risk
    model, when appropriate, with the information gained from the inspection.

           B. Issues That Are Not Considered Significant for PAC 56843

    If the facility inspection indicates an NAI or VAI classification and no further action is
    recommended, ORA issues an FMD-145 letter within the predefined timeline based on the date of
    the inspection closing. 51 OPQ suboffices (e.g., OPMA) may assist ORA divisions as requested.

                      PART VII―OVERVIEW OF CDER-ORA RESPONSIBILITIES

    CDER and ORA redefined their roles and responsibilities regarding application assessments and
    inspections of human drugs facilities under the ConOps agreement Integration of FDA Facility
    Evaluation and Inspection Program for Human Drugs: A Concept of Operations. This ConOps
    operating model applies to pre- and postapproval, surveillance, and for-cause inspections.
    Postapproval facility inspections are led by ORA with CDER participation. The roles and
    responsibilities for postapproval inspections as laid out in ConOps are subject to this compliance
    program.

                      ATTACHMENT A: REMOTE REGULATORY ASSESSMENTS

    In addition to its inspectional authority, FDA may conduct remote regulatory assessments (RRAs),
    under certain circumstances, to support oversight of FDA-regulated products and establishments. 1
    An RRA is an examination of an FDA-regulated establishment and/or its records, conducted
    remotely, to evaluate compliance with applicable FDA requirements. RRAs assist in protecting
    human health, informing regulatory decisions, and verifying certain information submitted to the
    Agency.
    RRAs used in lieu of or in advance of inspections have allowed FDA to remotely evaluate drug
    manufacturing establishments to mitigate risks. However, RRAs are not the same as an inspection as
    described in section 704(a)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), and FDA
    does not consider them to satisfy the statutory requirement for an inspection under section 510(h) of
    the FD&C Act.
    The following RRAs, along with applicable FDA policies, can be used to support the objectives of
    this compliance program when, in the opinion of FDA experts, they would enable FDA to determine
    whether the establishment meets applicable requirements for the product’s identity, strength, quality,
    and purity for an application subject to section 505 of the FD&C Act.

    1. FDA Records and Other Information Requests Under Section 704(a)(4) of the FD&C Act
       (Statutorily Authorized RRA)

    In 2012, with the passage of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act to amend
    the FD&C Act, Congress gave FDA the authority to request “any records or other information” in
    advance of or in lieu of an inspection related to human or animal drugs, including human biological
    drug products. Section 704(a)(4) of the FD&C Act requires “a person that owns or operates an
    establishment that is engaged in the manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, or
    processing of a drug” to provide FDA, upon request, records or other information that FDA may
    inspect under section 704(a)(1).
    With regards to this compliance program, a 704(a)(4) request may be used in lieu of or in advance of
    a postapproval inspection to support preparation and assessment of product-specific inspection
    coverage. 2 The use of 704(a)(4) authority does not prevent an FDA investigator from requesting
    records or other information on inspection.

    2. Remote Interactive Evaluation (Voluntary RRA)

    A remote interactive evaluation (RIE) is an evaluation of a firm’s compliance with regulations

    and/or conformance with an application submission that a firm participates in voluntarily. 3 RIEs are
    defined as FDA’s use of any combination of remote interactive tools (e.g., remote livestreaming
    video of operations, teleconferences, screen sharing) to evaluate facilities where drugs are
    manufactured, processed, packaged, or held. FDA may request to conduct an RIE whenever a
    program office determines it is appropriate based on mission needs.
    With regards to this compliance program, an RIE may be used in lieu of or in advance of a
    postapproval inspection to evaluate marketed drug products manufactured under approved new drug
    applications or abbreviated new drug applications or their associated active pharmaceutical
    ingredients. During an inspection, FDA may collect copies of previously received documents and
    other documents not previously requested.
