WHO新发布指南:试验用药品的GMP

试验用药品GMP,有什么文件要求?

临床样品,设施上有什么GMP要求?

试验用药品GMP,生产和QC有何要求?

1. Background 背景

1.1. In view of an old publication date, and the recent need for new guidelines arising from inspections carried out for COVID-19 therapeutics, the World Health Organization (WHO) Prequalification Team - Inspection Services (PQT INS) raised the urgency for a revision of the WHO Good manufacturing practices for investigational pharmaceutical products for clinical trials in humans (1). The Fifty-fifth Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations (ECSPP) concurred with this proposal.

鉴于发布日期较旧,以及最近对COVID-19疗法进行检查时产生了新的指南需求,对WHO人体临床试验用药品的良好生产规范,世界卫生组织(WHO)资格预审小组-检查服务(PQT INS)提出了修订标准的紧迫性(1)。第55药物制剂专家委员会(ECSPP)同意该建议。

1.2. The objective of this update is to bring the guideline in line with current expectations and trends in good manufacturing practices and to harmonize the text with the principles from other related international guidelines.

本次更新的目的是使该指南与当前对良好生产规范的期望和趋势保持一致,并使文本与其他相关国际指南中的原则保持一致。

2. Introduction介绍

2.1. Investigational products are used for testing purposes; as a reference in a clinical trial; for an unauthorized indication; and to gain further information about the authorized form.

试验用药品用于测试目的;作为临床试验的参考;用于未经批准的适应症;以获得有关许可批准的更多信息。

2.2. In some cases, marketed products which have been re-packaged or modified in some way, are used for investigational purposes.

在某些情况下,市售产品,以某种方式重新包装或进行修改,可以用于试验目的。

2.3. The legal status of investigational products for human and veterinary use varies from country to country.

用于人类和兽医用途的试验用药品的法律地位,因国家而异。

2.4. These products are sometimes not covered by legal and regulatory provisions in the areas of good practices (GxP) and inspection. These complexities, such as lack of high level good manufacturing practices (GMP) requirements, risk of contamination and cross- contamination, clinical trial designs, blinding and randomization, increase the risk. In addition, there are also instances where there is incomplete knowledge of the potency and toxicity of the investigational product.

这些产品有时不在良好实践(GxP)和检查领域的法律和法规规定之列。这些产品存在诸多复杂性,例如缺乏高水平的良好生产规范(GMP)、污染和交叉污染的风险、临床试验设计、盲法和随机化,都会增加风险。另外,在某些情况下,对试验用药品的活性和毒性的了解不完整。

2.5. There are further risks associated with the production, validation, control, shipping, storage and use of investigational products.

对于试验用药品,存在着与生产、验证、控制、运输、存储和使用有关的其他风险。

2.6. To minimize risks and to ensure that the results of clinical trials are unaffected by inadequate safety, quality or efficacy arising from unsatisfactory manufacture, investigational products should be manufactured and managed in accordance with an effective quality management system and the recommendations contained in this guideline.

为了最大程度地降低风险,并确保临床试验的结果不受生产问题引起的安全性、质量或功效不足的影响,应根据有效的质量管理体系和本指南中的建议,来生产和管理试验用药品。

2.7. Other guidelines and GxP should be taken into account, where relevant and as appropriate, as to the stages of development, production and control of the product.

在产品开发、生产和控制阶段应酌情考虑其他指南和GxP。

2.8. Procedures should be flexible to provide for changes whenever necessary, as knowledge of the process increases over time, and in accordance with the stages of development of the product.

程序应灵活多变,以便在必要时进行更改,因为随着时间的推移,对工艺的了解会不断增加,并且要根据产品的开发阶段而定。

2.9. Investigational products should be manufactured in a manner:

that is compliant to GxP, as appropriate;

that ensures that subjects of clinical trials will be protected from poor quality products due to unsatisfactory manufacturing;

to assure consistency between and within batches of the investigational product; and

to assure consistency between the investigational product and the future commercial product.

试验用药品应采用以下方式生产:

适当时符合GxP;

确保不会由于生产问题,而使临床试验的受试者受到劣质产品的侵害;

确保试验用药品批次之间以及批次内的一致性;

确保试验用药品与未来商业产品之间的一致性。

2.10. The selection of an appropriate dosage form for clinical trials is important. While it is accepted that the dosage form may be very different from the anticipated final formulation (e.g. a capsule instead of a tablet) in early trials, in the pivotal Phase III studies, it should be similar to the projected commercial presentation; otherwise these trials will not necessarily prove that the marketed product is both efficacious and safe. If there are significant differences between the clinical and commercial dosage forms, data should be submitted to the registration authorities to demonstrate that the final dosage form is equivalent, in terms of bioavailability and stability, to that used in the clinical trials.

为临床试验选择合适的剂型很重要。虽然在早期试验中已经认识到剂型可能与预期的最终制剂(例如胶囊而不是片剂)有很大不同,但在关键的III期研究中,它应与预计的商业用途相似;否则,这些试验并不一定证明所上市的产品既有效又安全。如果临床剂型和商业剂型之间存在显着差异,则应将数据提交注册当局,以证明最终剂型在生物利用度和稳定性方面,与临床试验中的剂型具有等效性。

2.11. The quality of investigational products should be appropriate. For example, dosage forms in Phase III clinical studies should be characterized and assured at the same level, as for routinely manufactured products.

试验用药品的质量应适当。例如,III期临床研究中的剂型应与常规生产产品的特性和特征相同。

2.12 Where production and/or quality control is transferred from one site to another, the recommendations in the guideline for transfer of technology should be followed.

如果生产和/或质量控制从一个场所转移到另一个场所,则应遵循技术转移指南中的建议。

2.13 This document should be read in conjunction with other WHO GxP guidelines, including good clinical practice (GCP) (2).

该文件应与其他WHO GxP指南一起阅读,包括良好的临床实践(GCP)(2)。

3. Scope范围

The batch size for investigational products manufactured in a pilot plant or small-scale facility, as opposed to the commercial batch size, may vary widely.

对于计划用于临床试验(II期和III期后期)的产品,应尽可能在许可的工厂生产。在中试工厂或小型工厂中生产的试验用药品,在批量大小与商业批量大小不同。

11.2. The guidelines in this document are applicable to the following licensed facilities:

本文件中的准则适用于以下许可的设施:

a pilot plant, primarily designed and used for process development; and

a small-scale facility (sometimes called a "pharmacy"), separate both from the company's pilot plant and from routine production.

中试工厂,主要设计用于工艺开发;

小型工厂(有时称为“药房”),与公司的中试工厂和常规生产是分开的。

11.3. Facilities, as listed below, should be subject to all GMP requirements for pharmaceutical products;

下表列出的设施应符合药品的所有GMP要求;

a large-scale production line assembled to manufacture materials in larger batches (e.g. for late Phase III trials and first commercial batches); and

the normal production line used for licensed commercial batches, and sometimes for the production of investigational products if the number of, for example, ordered ampoules, tablets or other dosage forms, is large enough.

装配了大规模生产线,以大批量生产物料(例如,用于III期后期试验和第一批商业生产);

用于许可用于商业批次的正常生产线,如果订购的安瓿、片剂或其它剂型的数量足够大,有时用于生产试验用药品。

11.4. Where activities are outsourced to contract facilities, the contract must then clearly state, inter alia, the responsibilities of each party, compliance with GMP or of this guideline, and that the product(s) to be manufactured or controlled are intended for use in clinical trials. Close cooperation between the contracting parties is essential.

如果将活动外包给合同设施,则合同必须明确说明各方的责任,遵守GMP或本指南,保证生产或控制的产品可以用于临床试验目的。合同双方之间的密切合作至关重要。

生产操作

Manufacturing operations

11.5. As process validation may not always be complete during the development phase of products, provisional quality attributes, process parameters and in-process controls should be identified, based on risk management principles and experience with analogous products.

由于在产品开发阶段工艺验证可能并不总是完整的,因此应基于风险管理原则和类似产品的经验,来识别临时质量属性、工艺参数和过程控制。

11.6. The necessary instructions should be identified and may be adapted based on the experience gained in production.

应该确定必要的指导,并可以根据在生产中获得的经验进行调整。

11.7. Where processes such as mixing have not been validated, additional quality control testing may be necessary.

如果未验证混合等过程,则可能需要进行其它QC检验。

11.8. For sterile investigational products, the assurance of sterility should be no less than for licensed products (see GMP for sterile products (6)).

对于无菌试验用药品,无菌保证应不低于许可产品的无菌水平(无菌产品参见GMP(6))。

包装和贴标

Packaging and labelling

11.9. The packaging and labelling of investigational products are likely to be more complex and more liable to errors (which are also harder to detect) when "blinded" labels are used than for licensed products. Supervisory procedures such as label reconciliation, line clearance, and so on, and the independent checks by quality unit personnel, should be intensified accordingly.

与使用许可产品相比,使用“盲”标签时,试验用药品的包装和贴标可能会更复杂,并且更容易出错(也更难以发现)。相应地应加强诸如标签衡算、生产线清场等的监督程序,以及质量部门人员的独立检查。

11.10. The packaging must ensure that the investigational product remains in good condition during transport and storage. Any opening of, or tampering with, the outer packaging during transport should be readily discernible.

包装必须确保试验用药品在运输和储存期间保持良好状态。在运输过程中任何打开或篡改外包装的情况,都应易于辨认。

盲操作

Blinding operations

11.11. In the preparation of "blinded" products, the blind should be maintained until it is required to allow for the identification of the “blinded” product. In-process control should include a check on the similarity in appearance and any other required characteristics of the different products being compared.

在准备“盲”产品时,应保持盲状态,直到需要识别“盲”产品为止。过程控制应包括检查外观的相似性,以及所比较的不同产品的任何其它所需特性。

11.12. A coding system should be introduced to permit the proper identification of "blinded" products. The code, together with the randomization list, must permit the proper identification of the product, including any necessary traceability to the codes and batch number of the product before the blinding operation.

应该引入编码系统,以正确识别“盲”产品。该代码以及随机列表必须允许正确识别产品,包括在盲操作之前对代码和产品批号的任何必要的可追溯性。

12. 质量控制

Quality control

12.1. Quality control should cover, for example, the sampling and testing of materials and products, ensuring that these are not released for use, sale or supply until their quality has been judged to be compliant with the specifications.

质量控制应包括,例如,物料和产品的取样和检验,确保在判定其质量符合质量标准之前,不放行这些物料以供使用、销售或供应。

12.2. Each batch of product should be tested in accordance with a Product Specification File and should meet its specification. Product release is often carried out in two stages; that is, before final packaging (bulk product testing) and after final packaging (finished product testing).

每批产品应按照产品质量标准文件进行检验,并应符合其质量标准。产品通常分为两个阶段:也就是说,在最终包装之前(半产品检验)和最终包装之后(成品检验)。

12.3. Bulk product testing should cover all relevant factors including production conditions, the results of in-process testing, a review of manufacturing documentation and compliance with the Product Specification File and the order. Finished product testing should cover, in addition to the bulk product assessment, all relevant factors including packaging conditions, the results of in-process testing, a review of packaging documentation and compliance with the Product Specification File and the order.

半产品检验应涵盖所有相关因素,包括生产条件、过程检验结果、生产文件审查,以及对产品质量标准文件和订单的符合情况。成品检验除对半成品的评估外,还应包括所有相关因素,包括包装条件、过程检验结果、包装文件审查,以及对产品质量标准文件和订单的符合情况。

12.4. When necessary, quality control should also be used to verify the similarity in appearance and other physical characteristics such as the odour of "blinded" investigational products.

必要时,还应通过质量控制来验证外观和其它物理特性(例如“盲”试验用药品的气味)是否相似。

12.5. End-product testing should be carried out in order to ensure that each batch meets its specification.

应当进行最终产品检验,以确保每个批次都符合其质量标准。

12.6 Reference and retention samples of each batch of product should be retained.

每批产品的参比样品和留样应保留。

12.7 Samples should be retained in the primary container used for the study or in a suitable bulk container for at least two years after the termination or completion of the relevant clinical trial. If the sample is not stored in the pack used for the study, stability data should be available to justify the shelf life in the pack used.

在相关临床试验终止或完成后,样品应保存在用于研究的主要容器中或合适的散装容器中,时间为至少两年。如果样品未保存在用于研究的包装中,则应提供稳定性数据以证明所用包装的有效期。

12.8 Retention samples should be kept until the clinical report has been prepared in order to enable the confirmation of product identity in the event of, and as part of an investigation into, inconsistent trial results.

留样应一直保存,直到准备好临床报告为止,以便在试验结果不一致时,作为调查的一部分,能够确认产品的鉴别。

12.9 The storage location of reference and retention samples should be defined in a technical agreement between the sponsor and manufacturer(s) and should allow for timely access by the competent authorities.

参比样品和留样的存放位置应在发起人与生产商之间的技术协议中规定,并应允许主管当局及时取用。

12.10The reference sample should be of sufficient size to permit the carrying out on, at least, two occasions of the full analytical controls on the batch in accordance with the Investigational Product dossier submitted for authorization in order to conduct the clinical trial.

参比样品应有足够的数量,以至少允许两次对批次进行全面的分析控制,该分析控制基于为获得临床试验许可而提交的试验用药品档案。

12.11 In the case of retention samples, it is acceptable to store information related to the final packaging as written or electronic records if such records provide sufficient information. In the case of reference samples, the system should comply with the requirements of WHO guidelines for computerized systems (7).

对于留样,如果能够提供了足够的信息,则可以书面或电子记录形式储存有关最终包装的信息。对于参比样品,系统应符合WHO对计算机系统指南的要求(7)。

12.12 The release of a batch of an investigational product should only occur after the designated responsible person has certified that the product meets the relevant requirements. These requirements include the assessment of, as appropriate:

仅在指定负责人证明产品符合相关要求后,才能放行该批试验用药品。这些要求包括对以下方面的评估:

batch records, including control reports, in-process test reports, changes, deviations and release reports demonstrating compliance with the product specification file, the order, protocol and randomization code;

13.2 The scope of qualification and validation required should be determined based on risk assessment.

应根据风险评估,确定所需的确认与验证范围。

13.3 For sterile products, there should be no reduction in the degree of validation of sterilizing equipment required. Validation of aseptic processes presents special problems when the batch size is small since the number of units filled may be not adequate for a validation exercise. Filling and sealing, which is often done by hand, can compromise the maintenance of sterility. Greater attention should therefore be given to environmental monitoring

对于无菌产品,不应减少灭菌设备所需的验证水平程度。当批量较小时,会给无菌工艺验证带来特殊问题,因为灌装的单元数可能不足以进行验证。灌装和密封通常是手工完成的,可能会损害无菌性。因此,应更加重视环境监测。
