  • 1.  Bracketing with different expiration dates

    Posted 18-Sep-2017 12:47
    ​​Hi,
    Can you bracket the middle fill in a stability program, if the different fill sizes have different expiration dates? For example:

    100 mL Fill, exp 18 months
    250 mL Fill, exp 18 months
    1000 mL Fill, exp 24 months

    (These are terminally sterilized NDA products.)

    ​Cindy, been a while since I last worked in pharma but if I remember right, bracketing should be acceptable in your case provided the concentration remains constant across the range (i.e. x mg/mL across all fills).
