Presentation Summary: The Question Based Review is a new submission and review paradigm that was fully implemented by the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) in 2007 with the goal of encouraging sponsors to include Quality by Design (QbD) principles in their product and process development and communicate this knowledge in their submissions. The major objectives of this initiative were to:

Assure product quality through product design and performance-based specifications;
Facilitate continuous improvement and reduce CMC supplements through risk assessment;
Enhance the quality, transparency, and consistency of reviews through standardized review questions;
Reduce CMC review time when applicants submit a quality submission that addresses the QbR questions.

This talk will provide an overview of the QbR submission and review process and provide an assessment from the perspective of a chemistry reviewer on how QbR has contributed to improvement in the quality and consistency of reviews and the incorporation of QbD principles into generic submissions. The assessment is based on the presenter’s experience in reviewing more than twenty QbR applications submitted over the past two years covering various dosage forms, including numerous modified release drug products.
