I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled “ANDAs: Impurities in Drug Products.” In December 1998, FDA issued the draft guidance “ANDAs: Impurities in Drug Products,” and in August 2005, FDA revised it in conformance with the “Q3B(R) Impurities in New Drug Products” guidance for industry that was announced in August 2006.
We are issuing the final guidance to: (1) Update information on listing of degradation products, setting acceptance criteria, and qualifying degradation products (thresholds and procedures) in abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) in conformance with the revision of the guidance for industry on Q3B(R) and (2) remove those sections of the 1998 draft guidance containing recommendations that are no longer needed because they are addressed in the more recent Q3B(R). The Q3B(R) was developed by the ICH to provide guidance on impurities in drug products for new drug applications (NDAs). However, the Agency believes that many of the recommendations provided on impurities in NDAs also apply to ANDAs.
This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency's current thinking on impurities in drug products submitted as ANDAs. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.
