Scope The application of bracketing and matrixing to stability studies conducted in accordance with VICH GL 3 - Stability testing of new veterinary drug substances and medicinal products. Design factors: variables to be evaluated in a study design for their effect on product stability: • Strength • Container closure sizes • Fill volume 5

Scope Ø Full study : samples for every combination of all design factors are tested at all time points Ø Reduced design: - samples for every factor combination are not tested at all time points - Able to adequately predict the retest period or shelf-life - Applicable to most types of new veterinary medicinal products - Not applicable or limited for new veterinary drug substances 6

Bracketing principle • = design of a stability schedule such that only samples on the extremes of certain design factors are tested at all time points as in a full design. • Assumes that the stability of any intermediate levels is represented by the stability of the extremes tested. 8

Bracketing design factors • Strength > Applicable to studies with multiple strengths of identical or closely related formulations only (unless justified) • Container closure size and/or fill > Applicable to studies of the same container closure system where either container size or fill varies while the other factors remain constant. > Selection of the extremes : comparison of various characteristics of the container closure system that may affect the product stability (wall thickness, closure geometry, surface area to volume ratio, headspace to volume ratio, water vapour permeation rate or oxygen permeation rate). 9

Matrixing principle • = design of a stability schedule such that a selected subset of the total number of possible samples for all factor combinations. • Assumes that the stability of each subset of samples tested represents the stability of all samples at a given time point. 12

Matrixing • Identification of differences in the samples for the same product (different batches, different strengths, different sizes of the same container closure system, different container closure systems in some cases) • Consideration of knowledge of data variability, expected stability of the medicinal product, availability of supporting data, stability differences in the medicinal product within a factor or among factors and/or number of factor combination in the study. 13
