1 Validation of a Rapid Microbial Method Approach to Validation Case Studies: Equivalence Verification of an Alternate Assay for Microbial Limits Screening and Sterility Testing of Pharmaceutical Products Erin Patton, MS Senior Product Specialist Charles River Labs, Microbial Solutions
2 Overview Two-tier approach to validating a rapid microbial method Provides a pathway to validation that streamlines the validation and regulatory process Consistent with industry guidance Has been effectively utilized to obtain regulatory approvals both in the US and EU Two Case Studies that utilize approach Study I Comparison of 24-hour Rapid Alternative Bioburden assay and Compendial Pour Plate Method for Micro Limits Testing Study II Comparison of 5-day Rapid Alternative Sterility assay and Compendial Sterility Test using Membrane Filtration
3 Regulatory Overview Regulators do not approve RMM technologies User responsible for seeking approval for use with their products and/or processes A growing number of companies have received approval for the use of RMMs for finished product testing using various submission strategies Guidance for the Validation of Rapid Microbial Methods PDA TR33 USP<1223> EP Establish a multifunctional team: Microbiologist, Technician, QA/Regulatory Specialist, Statistician
4 Validation Approach / Qualitative Method PDA TR33 Guidance PDA TR33 Validation Criteria Equivalence / Comparative Testing Qualitative Method User or Supplier Demonstrated Limit of Detection Yes User Method Suitability Yes User Specificity Yes User Recommended Approach Yes User Equivalency Protocol Generated from Equivalency Protocol Typical Sample Effects Typical Spiking studies Ruggedness Yes Supplier Drug Master File Robustness Yes Supplier Drug Master File
5 Two Tier Approach to Validation Tier One: Equivalency and Limit of Detection Performed on one product Steps Time to Detect Study (for sterility only) Equivalency Study (Equivalency, Limit of Detection) Tier Two: Method Suitability and Specificity Performed on all other products or product groups Steps Sample Effects (Method Suitability) Spiking Study (Specificity) Use of vendor data to support Robustness and Ruggedness claim including DMF reference
6 Approach to Equivalence Verification Study Objectives The primary goal is to demonstrate the equivalence of two microbiological test methods for the qualitative screening of a pharmaceutical product for microbial contamination. The ability of the alternate method to detect contamination in a product matrix is compared to that of the compendial method in a series of side-by-side assays conducted on identical samples. Equivalence is tested by measuring the relative rates of agreement and disagreement between the two test methods.
7 Approach to Equivalence Verification Study Design Demonstrate the comparability of the two methods in a series of side by side assays, on multiple lots of product, with different inoculum levels. Relative rates of agreement and disagreement between the methods are used to assess the accuracy, precision, specificity of the alternate method using a receiver operating characteristics table (ROC). The hypothesis that the two methods are equivalent will be tested using an acceptance criteria of 70% for specificity, accuracy and precision. The hypothesis of superiority will be tested using McNemar s test. Superiority will be defined as a statistically significant difference in the limits of detection between the methods using McNemar s test. The microorganisms chosen for comparison were those recommended by USP/EP/JP Pharmacopoeias
8 Approach to Equivalence Verification Study Design Fifteen + pairs of assessments are conducted for each organism. Five tests at each concentration of inoculum Three inoculum levels Six plus different organisms McNemar s test is used to test the superiority of the new method, with respect to the ability to detect a contaminated sample When demonstrating equivalence of two methods, USP <1223> requires an examination of Accuracy, Precision, and Specificity High values (>70%) are expected if the methods are equivalent. If the new method is superior, the values for these parameters may be low
9 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Approach to Equivalence Verification Study Design Alternate Method Inoculum Load Compendial Test A. brasiliensis C. albicans P. aeruginosa E. coli S. aureus B. subtilis C. sporogenes P. acnes T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 (cfu/test) 10 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 A. brasiliensis C. albicans P. aeruginosa E. coli S. aureus B. subtilis C. sporogenes P. acnes A. brasiliensis C. albicans P. aeruginosa E. coli S. aureus B. subtilis C. sporogenes P. acnes *Appropriate organism panel TBD
10 Alternate - + Approach to Equivalence Verification Statistical Analysis; Receiver Operator Characteristics Table The values in the table represent the number of paired samples having positive/negative results for the alternate test and the compendial test ROC Table Agreement Positive Compendial + A + + C B + - D - - A D B C Agreement Negative Disagreement + / - Disagreement - / +
11 Alternate - Alternate Alternate + Approach to Equivalence Verification Interpretation of Hypothetical Results The ROC table tests for equivalence between an alternate method and a gold standard. It does not take into account the possibility that the alternate method may be superior to the gold standard. Inferior Equivalent Superior Compendial + - Compendial + - Compendial Accuracy Precision Specificity Sensitivity McNemar s test is used to test the hypothesis that the alternate method is superior to the compendial method in its ability to detect a contaminated inoculated sample.
12 Approach to Equivalence Verification Statistical Analysis; Receiver Operator Characteristics Table Taking into account that the referenced method is the compendial one, the accuracy, precision and specificity of the alternative method are expressed in terms of relative rates of false positive and false negative results. Accuracy, calculated as (A+D) / (A + B + C + D), gives an indication on the equivalency/closeness of both methods. Precision, calculated as A / (A + B), gives a degree of agreement between both methods on the positive results obtained with repeated tests. Specificity, calculated as D / (D+B), gives information on the degree of interference due to external events during the analysis. Sensitivity, calculated as A / (A+C), gives a degree of agreement between the methods taking into account the number of discordant negative results with the alternate method.
13 Approach to Equivalence Verification Analysis If the rate of positives are not found to be significantly different using McNemar s test, the hypothesis of equivalence is tested using 70% as the acceptance criteria for accuracy, precision, specificity and sensitivity. This specification is based on expected results for each concentration, taking into account the probability of growth of the microorganisms at different concentrations of inoculum. This specification also takes into account the variability linked to very low inoculation levels.
