Derivation of model
The model for activation is based on general
mechanistic models
pH dependency based on protonation/de-protonation
of the active catalytic site

Activation
Initial degree of activation
Total amount of protein (activated and un-activated)
Concentration dependent rate constant determined during calibration
pKa for dissociation of the histidine side chain determined during calibration
Molar fraction of histidines side chain, which is deprotonized determine the
pH dependency of the reaction

Continuous optimisation of model
Model performance is monitored by comparison of

If a systematic deviation is observed several actions may
be considered:
Adjustment of target activation in the mechanistic model while
maintaining approved drug substance specifications
Recalibration of model constants

Product Quality Review
1.10 Regular periodic or rolling quality reviews of all authorised
medicinal products, including export only products, should be
conducted with the objective of verifying the consistency of the
existing process, the appropriateness of current specifications for
both starting materials and finished product, to highlight any trends
and to identify product and process improvements. Such reviews
should normally be conducted and documented annually, taking into
account previous reviews, and should include at least:

PALM Plan.
Testing requirements for target and target range changes
to non-CPPs:
Changes to the acceptable range for non-CPPs for these
steps require further justification. The possible outcomes
of the assessment and studies are:
a) If the outcome is acceptable then the acceptable range
is extended and the Heath Authority is notified.
b) If the product quality results are not acceptable,
additional studies will establish a new acceptable range,
or the acceptable range is not extended. If the acceptable
range is extended, the Heath Authority will be notified.
If the criticality of the non-CPP changes to a CPP, that
information and the updated Design Space are also
reported and require Health Authority prior approval.
