site facility. This SOP is specific for ANDA preparations covering oral capsules.
2. RESPONSIBILITY
The Head of Pharmaceutical Development together with the Responsible Researcher
for the Generic Drug Development Project.
3. FREQUENCY
Each ANDA product formula developed for the US market.
4. PROCEDURE or SCOPE
[4.1].The responsible personnel for the product development will prepare the
pharmaceutical section of the technical transfer file (TTD) for process and data
information transfer to the commercial manufacturing site facility.
[4.2].The Pharmaceutical TTD file will contain all necessary pharmaceutical master
formula, manufacturing methods, validation criteria, product specifications, technical
data, reports, tabulations and summaries based on the pharmaceutical development
work pertaining to all strengths of the generic drug development from the pre-
formulation to process qualification stage.
This data is required for the manufacture and control the pivotal submission batch
and the three initial full size validation batches produced at the commercial
manufacturing site facility.
[4.3].Each section of the TTD File is presented in a modular form for ease of
updating. Sections are numbered [A] to [K]. The outline of the TTD requirements is
presented in a standard operating procedure format.
[4.4].The requirements of the Pharmaceutical Technical Transfer documentation will
be part of the Product Development SOP for the specific dosage form. This
documents is based on formulation development for oral tablet dosage forms.
[4.5].An pharmaceutical TTD SOP will be prepared for each separate generic dosage
form under product development. 3
