Drug substance process validation services

For customers preparing for commercial approval and post-commercial approval, Process Validation is a critical and significant set of activities. AGC Biologics has a well-defined approach with supporting Quality Systems to provide you with a targeted path through late-phase Process Validation. Our systems are based on the FDA’s Approved Guidance for Industry and ICH guidelines, using a risk-based lifecycle approach, and consist of three basic stages with supporting validation activities.

Stage 1

Process Design

  • Identification of critical quality attributes and critical process parameters
  • Risk assessments
  • Process control strategy design
  • Bench-scale model qualification
  • Bench-scale process characterization/DOE studies
