  • 1.  Batch Size of Lyophilized Injection Powder Finish Product

    Posted 10-Nov-2015 09:24

    Dear All:

     

    Does anyone knows that the batch size of ANDA/NDA submission

    Batches as mentioned in 2014 FDA Guidelines be "at least 3 batches

    of no less than  50L" for any vial size smaller than 2mL? This is quite a

    size for pre-approval batches because they are going to be thrown

    away after product approval.

    This would be a good discussion with your review division; however, I have been successful with 1 full scale and 2 pilot lots. What would be your post approval commitment? Please note that the paradigm for 3 batches is no longer the target; at least 3 batches and it is dependent on your product and process. 

    Just some food for thought,
