The pharmaceutical industry has embraced the quality-by-design (QbD) approach as
a promising development, formulation and manufacturing strategy. QbD provides a
systematic and science-based framework for designing and producing high-quality
products, with a particular focus on identifying, assessing and controlling
risks throughout the development process. This review aims to assess the
benefits of implementing QbD in pharmaceutical processes, evaluate its impact on
regulatory compliance and explore its potential to enhance drug product quality.
The primary objective of this review is to evaluate the influence of QbD on
pharmaceutical development and manufacturing processes. It also seeks to examine
the regulatory requirements associated with the implementation of QbD and
highlight the advantages of this approach in terms of product quality and
cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the review aims to explore the potential of
QbD in improving the safety and efficacy of drug products. The QbD approach
holds tremendous potential to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry by
optimizing drug development & manufacturing processes, reducing costs
and enhancing product quality and consistency. However, implementing QbD
requires a comprehensive understanding of the underlying science, as well as
strict adherence to regulatory requirements in drug development and
manufacturing. In conclusion, by embracing the QbD approach, the pharmaceutical
industry can ensure the production of safe, effective and regulation-compliant
products while simultaneously improving process efficiency. This strategic shift
toward QbD represents a pivotal step in advancing pharmaceutical research and
manufacturing capabilities, ultimately benefiting both the industry and more
importantly, patients worldwide.
