Accelerating Success and Reducing Costs: The Impact of Quality by Design in Complex Biologics Development

February 16, 2024
 In the realm of complex biologics development, the integration of Quality by Design (QbD) not only assures product quality but also emerges as a powerful driver for cost reduction and accelerated timelines. A systematic approach to development in biopharma, it emphasizes the integration of quality evaluation at every step, ensuring the production of safer and more effective drugs while optimizing resources. Unlike traditional post-production testing, Quality by Design proactively identifies and adjusts critical parameters and factors involved in development.
This brief discussion explores the pivotal role of QbD in achieving these dual objectives.

Determining quality target product profile and critical quality attribute is a key to a successful and efficient development.

It is important to define quality target product profile (QTPP) and critical quality attributes (CQA) of the product as soon as possible during the development stage. If well defined, the Quality by Design approach will help address issues early in the product development process and prevent failures than will lead to additional cost and delay during advanced stages of the project.     
At Biodextris, we encourage and guide our client through Quality by Design process to ensure quality, cost optimization and timeline efficiency.

Efficiency through Attribute Optimization and precise process control:

Quality by Design enables a targeted optimization of critical product quality attributes, streamlining development efforts and reducing the need for extensive trial and error. By enhancing process understanding and control, QbD minimizes variations and deviations in complex biologics production. This precision and efficiency not only ensure consistent product quality but also accelerates the development timeline by avoiding delays associated with troubleshooting and rework. 

Risk Mitigation for Cost-Efficient Development:

Quality by Design systematically identifies and mitigates risks early in the development process. This proactive risk management not only safeguards against potential setbacks but also contributes to cost efficiency by preventing the need for costly corrections later in the development cycle.

Regulatory Compliance for Timely Approvals and Adaptability for Faster Life Cycle Management

Well defined QbD attributes aligns with regulatory expectations, ensuring that the development process is well-documented and compliant. This adherence expedites regulatory approvals, reducing the time and resources required for navigating the approval process. Furthermore, Quality by Design's emphasis on continuous improvement allows for swift adaptation to changes throughout the product's life cycle. This adaptability reduces the time and costs associated with implementing updates or modifications post-launch.

For Biodextris, Quality by Design is not only a quality assurance framework but also a strategic ally for reducing costs and accelerating timelines in the development of complex biologics as well as decrease regulatory compliance risks by building product knowledge and understanding. Its systematic approach, from attribute optimization to risk mitigation and formulation efficiency, positions QbD as an indispensable tool for achieving cost-effective and timely success in the competitive landscape of all biologic products development, especially for Complex Biologics.
