Determination of product specs by Stability ResultsI would ask an help for the following problem.
I got data from a stability study of my product.
By using the tool Reliability and survivor> Degradation I got a prediction of the expiration date based on the spec that I have now.
In order to extend this expiration data I cuould need to change the spec.
For example
-my product spec say: not less than 100 Pa
-I have product in stability that at time 0 have 150 Pa
-Runing the stability after 15 months my product goes to 120 Pa
-Degradation tools sayd that I will got 100 after 29 months
I want determining which starting properties I need to have in order to reach 36 month. There is tool in JMP, by using the data that I already have, that allow me to determining it?
Thanks
Ivo
AnalyticsRe: Determination of product specs by Stability ResultsJMP does not have such a tool. If I understand your question, you want to know what baseline or starting value you need, instead of 150, to achieve 100 at 36 months, assuming the same rate of degradation and the same degradation path.
This problem is simple high school algebra. The degradation rate R from your stability study is R = (100-150) / (29-0) = -50/29. The degradation path equation is 100 = Y + R*36. So the necessary starting value for Y = 100 + (50/29)*36 = 160.07.
Re: Determination of product specs by Stability ResultsHi Mark, Thanks for you reply.
You got point.
But this is something that happen in Algebra in ideal world, you right.
I can extrapolate a linear regression to do that and evaluate my needed spec to met the desired expiration date.
My real problem is that I have different lots of product, with slightly different behaviour.
And I could have product that by changing slightly the spec give me a product with different behaviour.
For example, in the JMP tool Degradation>stability test, it consider an FDA model to evaluate how manage different different lots and extrapolate a date.
There is a way to make the evaluation that I want with a more accurate strategy, that take in consideration what I described?
Re: Determination of product specs by Stability ResultsI am confused. I thought that you wanted to know what starting value would lead to expiry of 36 months. That request seems reasonable. It would require a reformulation and new lots to change the starting value.
The specification is determined by performance requirements but now I think that you want to know, for the same starting value (existing lots), what specification would yield expiry of 36 months. You can use the Stability Test application within the Degradation platform to estimate the specification that corresponds to a crossing point of 36 months, although this seems to be the wrong direction.
Yes, the Stability Test application is based on a SAS macro that was written to apply the inference outlined in the ICH Q1E guidance for assessing poolability and expiry.
Re: Determination of product specs by Stability Results
I'm sorry for the confusion. My fault
It's correct your first understanding. I want to know what starting value of my properties I need in order to match expiration date of 36 months.
In attached I have plotted the behaviour of 3 batch. In the plot is presented the variable of interesting vs time. Each batch one have different slope.
1)I could take in consideration the equation of one batch, put 36 month in the X and discover the Y that I need.
But wich equation I have to take? the average of all lots?
2)Also I can presume that I have one equation for each batch that it depend of the starting value of the batch.
Which error I will?
There is no way to have a prediction of the behavior by changing the starting value of the properties?
In other words.....if you have starting property of 100 you need follow this equation.... if you have starting property of130 you need to follow this equation.....
By having this prediction I can try follow the point 1)
