Quality Considerations for Continuous Manufacturing - Guidance for Industry


The guidance provides information regarding the FDA’s current thinking on the quality considerations for continuous manufacturing of small molecule, solid oral drug products that are regulated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The guidance describes several key quality considerations and provides recommendations for how applicants should address these considerations in new drug applications (NDAs), abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs), and supplemental NDAs and ANDAs, for small molecule, solid oral drug products that are produced via a continuous manufacturing process. FDA supports the development and implementation of continuous manufacturing for drug substances and all finished dosage forms where appropriate, including those submitted in NDAs, ANDAs, drug master files (DMFs), biologics license applications (BLAs), and nonapplication over-the-counter (OTC) products. Scientific principles described in the guidance may also be applicable to continuous manufacturing technologies used for these drugs. However, the guidance is not intended to provide recommendations specific to continuous manufacturing technologies used for biological products under a BLA.
