Considerations and Limitations of Stability Studies | |
|---|---|
Scope of Study | Define whether the goal is shelf-life confirmation, extension, or regulatory submission before starting. This determines study length, testing intervals, and required data. |
Real-Time vs. Accelerated | Real-time studies reflect actual storage conditions, while accelerated studies provide quicker data but require specialized equipment and predictive modeling. |
Testing Selection | All analytical and bioanalytical tests must be defined before starting the study to ensure meaningful and consistent results. |
Regulatory Requirements | Consider GMP, FDA, or global regulatory expectations when defining study design and documentation requirements. |
