Abstract:
The process of discovering and developing a new drug is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. One small part of delivering a safe and efficacious drug to the market is understanding the stability characteristics of both the unformulated and formulated compound. Stress testing (aka forced degradation) studies are fundamental to developing this understanding and can be used to predict both the stability and the potential degradation products / pathways of a drug. In this presentation, the foundational aspects of well-designed stress testing studies, the role in stability-indicating method development, in understanding degradation mechanisms, and in solving mass balance issues will be discussed in the context of real-world examples.
