  • 1.  Imprint change

    Posted 24-Feb-2022 15:59
    Hi All,

    If we were to change the imprint code on a modified release solid oral dosage form would this be considered major change? Is there any justification we can provide to file this as a moderate change instead?

    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thanks,
    Mehul

    Please clarify if your product already has a code imprint that was originally approved with the NDA? If so you wish to make a change to the existing approved code imprint using the same ink? 
    In the above case, and since its MR dosage form, I'd recommend CBE-30 i.e. moderate. Annual Report for non-MR solid dosage (i.e. IR) form

    The product was already approved with a debossed imprint. The proposal is to make the change from the current debossed imprint to another debossed imprint. For example: from ABC1 TO XYZ1. 

    Can this still be filed as a moderate change?

    As per guidance only PAS for modified release dosage form.

    But, if you can justify, that it does not impact the modified release pattern of the product, then very high chances that you can go for moderate change.

    I suggest to submit CBE-30 with the relevant technical data for the equivalency including dissolution profile and COAs along with risk assessment.

    Yes, based on your response I'd say moderate and CBE with release characteristics data comparing old versus new debossed product plus commitment to long term data.
